Yahoo News Gavin and Stacey star's play halted after head injury
Gavin & Stacey star Mathew Horne suffered a head injury during a theatre performance, with the play being halted as a result.
Horne, who plays co-protagonist Gavin Shipman on the beloved comedy, is currently starring as Trinculo in a production of William Shakespeare's The Tempest at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London's West End.
On December 17, the actor was merely minutes into the show when he bumped his head against a rock and was promptly taken off stage. The play was halted for 15 minutes before Horne returned to the boards and the play could continue (via The Sun).

The incident occurred just a few days before what is possibly the last-ever episode of Gavin & Stacey graces our screens on Christmas Day.

The hotly anticipated festive special will pick up after the previous Christmas episode aired in 2019 and ending on a huge cliffhanger for Smithy (James Corden) and Nessa (Ruth Jones) when she popped the question.
A trailer unveiled during the Strictly Come Dancing finale seemed to suggest that Smithy may have said yes to Nessa's surprise marriage proposal.

The clip features a drunken dance sequence as the protagonists celebrate Christmas at Pam and Mick's.
The flirtatious dancing scene sees Nessa and Smithy getting very close to each other, leading some fans to speculate they could actually be engaged or even married.
The trailer, which includes a nod to the infamous fishing trip, also sees Horne's Gavin and Joanna Page's Stacey enjoy a throwback to the start of their romance as they talk on the phone while he's at work.
