The cast of Gavin & Stacey have admitted that they cried when they filmed the final scenes of the show.

Ruth Jones, who co-wrote the show, told The Mirror: “It sounds silly I know, but it’s been a big part of our lives for the last three years. It was very emotional filming at the end. Even from day one we all had this sad feeling about it all ending.

“In the final week, me and Jo Page just couldn’t stop crying. We were pathetic and we looked like frogs. And on the last day me and James were awash.

“But, you know, things have to move on. I like to think that we dipped into the lives of Gavin and Stacey and their family and friends for a couple of years, and now it’s time to dip out again and let them get on with it.”
