Gavin And Stacey creators James Corden and Ruth Jones continued to send fans into overdrive over Smithy and Nessa’s will they, won’t they? romance during filming on Tuesday. 

James, 46, and Ruth, 57, were seen arm-in-arm as they shot scenes in Barry in front of dozens of cheering fans, who caught the moment on their phone cameras. 

Smithy and Nessa have famously had an on-off relationship over the course of the BBC sitcom, with the show’s 2019 Christmas special ending on a cliffhanger after she proposed. 

Viewers are eager to see if they will finally get the happy ending they had hoped for in the last ever episode, set to air on Christmas Day. 

However, the sweet moment between the two could have been a moment in-between shooting the scenes as James also directs the show.

For filming, Nessa was in her trademark leather waistcoat, a band T-shirt and lacy tights, while James rocked jeans and a black shirt.

Gavin And Stacey fans were sent into a frenzy when the cast were seen filming a wedding scene for the much-anticipated final episode last week.  

Making a surprise return to the set was actor Steffan Rhodri – who plays Nessa’s ex-fiancé Dave Coaches – casting doubt on whether Smithy and Nessa will tie the knot after five years of speculation. 

He made his last appearance in Gavin and Stacey at the end of the third series when Nessa decided that she couldn’t go through with their wedding. 

His surprise return will no doubt spark worry from fans that Smithy declined Nessa’s proposal.

It’s also been revealed that the cast is working on a behind-the-scenes programme to mark its final ever outing. 

Barry Island was mobbed last week when the original cast returned to make the finale. 

An emotional James told fans: ‘It’s all overwhelming, the fact that it’s the last time we’ll be here on the island. It’s wonderful. It’s the home of the show. It’s the centre of it really, and every bit of it you’re thinking: “God, I remember when we were here.”‘ 

On the first day of filming, the cast shared a picture of a clapperboard with the caption: ‘The final episode of Gavin & Stacey started filming today. Truth be told, we’re a little bit excited.’

It will be the first episode of the BBC sitcom since the last Christmas special in 2019. That episode, which was watched by 12 million viewers, ended on a cliffhanger with Nessa down on one knee as she proposed to Smithy.

The show centres around the ups and downs of Gavin and Stacey’s initially long-distance relationship, with him living with his ­parents in Billericay, Essex, and her in Barry Island. 

The pair ­eventually marry, while their respective best friends Smithy and Nessa have a son, Neil, who is now 15 and will also return for the final ever episode.

Gavin And Stacey’s final episode will air on BBC One on Christmas Day.
