James Corden has dished on the secret twist in the series Gavin & Stacey.

During the 90-minutes cast and crew session at the premiere, he candidly paid credit to actress Laura Aikman for keeping the secret regarding the suspenseful ending of the series.

Recalling the last episode of Gavin and Stacey, which was released on Christmas day 2024, The Late Late Show host began by saying, “I just want it to feel satisfying really, that’s all.”

Almost 17 years after the first episode was released, in the final episode Gavin confessed his love for Stacy, who was portrayed by Ruth Jones.

After their on-and-off relationship he also called off his wedding with his stuck up girlfriend Sonya, who was played by Laura Aikman, at the last moment.

“Obviously you’re waiting for little key moments like, the reveal of Sonya and I do feel like it’s very, very important to say that Laura, who plays Sonia, puts in as good of a performance as you could ever really wish for, and she isn’t here today for fear of it still just somehow leaking,” he continued.

Meanwhile, Cordan asked for applause for Aikman for her efforts to keep the suspense till the last moment and said, “She stayed in hotels, she was going into places in the dead of night.”

“She’s not part of any of this, such is her want and our want to try and protect the very feeling that we had here, so we’ve really love to give her a round of applause.”

Before concluding, the 46-year-old actor told the fans, “An almost impossible task now, and in the hands of anybody else would be a cartoon, and I hope that she gets celebrated for what is a pitch perfect performance really.”
