Ruth Jones has spoken of how she will "always be friends" with her Gavin and Stacey co-creator James Corden because they shared the "life-changing experience" of the hit TV show becoming a success. The 56-year-old spoke to Good Housekeeping magazine ahead of her third novel, Love Untold, being published this week.
In the interview she spoke fondly of James Corden, who plays Smithy in the much-loved comedy series. The pair have been co-writers of the sitcom since it first aired in 2007 running until 2010. Fans were delighted when it made a revival in 2019 for a Christmas special but the episode ended in an epic cliffhanger with Ruth Jones' character Nessa Jenkins down on one knee proposing to Smithy.
Ruth, who is the cover star of Good Housekeeping’s November issue, said of her friendship with her co-star and writer James: "We’ll always be friends because we shared this life-changing experience. Neither of our careers would be what they are if it wasn’t for Gavin & Stacey and we’re both incredibly grateful for that.
