Gavin And Stacey’s Rob Brydon sent fans into a frenzy after he shared an exciting Instagram selfie with his co-star Ruth Jones on Saturday.
The actor, 59, who portrayed Bryn West, or Uncle Bryn, on the beloved BBC sitcom, hinted that filming for the last-ever episode is finally underway.
Penning a short and sweet message alongside the photo with fan-favourite Ruth, 57, who plays Nessa Jenkins, he teased: ‘Something’s occurring… #gavinandstacey’.
In July, the programme’s co-creators James Corden, 46, and Ruth confirmed that the show will return – and filming is expected to be back in Barry Island.
Viewers will once again be invited to Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, on Christmas Day 2024 to find out what has happened during the show’s five-year break.

After spotting Rob’s post on social media, fans went into overdrive as some claimed the comeback was better than Oasis’ reunion.
Fans wrote: ‘Well I for one can’t wait!’,
‘This is better than oasis getting back together’, ‘I love this! This has perked me up no end xx’,
‘OH MY CHRIST , Can’t wait until you film in my hometown in barry’, ‘That’s lush that is. ❤️❤️❤️’.
Rob previously revealed he was ‘moved to tears’ when he saw the script and said the episode was going to be very ’emotional’.
Speaking to Chris Evans live from Laverstoke Park Farm, Rob said of the final episode: ‘First of all, we knew it was going to happen, but we were told we had to keep it a secret. So you have to lie to people!
‘It’s a horrible feeling, because you don’t want to lie to somebody right in the face.’
He continued: ‘It was a couple of months before the cast saw the script. I only saw it, we were on holiday, we were away, about a month ago. I read it. Oh, it’s so good.’

He revealed: ‘Do you know what? I was moved to tears, because it’s emotional.’
