Despite smashing ratings records over Christmas, Gavin and Stacey won't be back any time soon according to James Corden.

The co-creator and star of the series has shared that he and Ruth Jones haven't got plans to make another instalment following on from its cliffhanger Christmas special.

"We have no plans to make another, not at the moment," he shared while being interviewed for ITV's Lorraine while on the Oscar's red carpet.

"We’ll have a sit down and think about that at some point but we certainly haven’t had that discussion yet."

The comedy became the UK's most-watched scripted show of the decade, with the total amount of viewers taking into account recording and on-demand amounting to 17.1 million.

However, many were left wanting more when it ended on Jones' character Nessa proposing to Corden's Smithy without getting a response.

Uncle Bryn star Rob Brydon has shared he's not too keen on making any more of the smash hit series because he reckons it's better to keep fans "wanting more".

He told Heat: "Personally, I would say leave it where it is, with people wanting more. It’s always my instinct, and I said that before this special. I was very surprised then to see that they had written it.”

Meanwhile, Jones has said that there were "a lot of hurdles to overcome" if the story were to continue due to issues of getting the cast back together as well as meeting with the LA-based Corden to write it.

Speaking to Radio Times she said: "There’s something nice about leaving it hanging in the air and wondering ‘did they ever get married, or didn’t they?’ So, we’ll see.”
