The comedian and actor joined Vernon Kay on BBC Radio 2\u2019s Breakfast Show this morning, where he talked everything from Carpool Karaoke to The Late Late Show, which he has announced his intention to step down from next year.<\/p>\n
That particular development sparked rumours about whether Corden could be shifting his attention back to Gavin & Stacey, which has gone rather quiet since 2019\u2019s Christmas reunion ended on a shock cliffhanger.<\/p>\n
Fans have been demanding more episodes ever since, but the show\u2019s creators have been non-committal on whether there will be any more with Corden saying his trust is in Jones to make the decision.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wish I could say it\u2019s up to me. The best thing about Gavin & Stacey is that it\u2019s Ruth and I, and if I\u2019m being completely honest, her judgement is exceptional,\u201d he began.<\/p>
\u201cI am going to have a bit more free time as of next year and that will open some time for us to just be together, I hope. But honestly, I\u2019m so touched every time I get here when people ask about it. It\u2019s amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n
The previous Christmas special reunited the cast of the sitcom after nine years apart, ending with Nessa (Jones) getting down on one knee to propose to her on-again off-again partner Smithy (Corden).<\/p>\n
The episode cut to credits before we got to hear Smithy\u2019s stunned response, leaving viewers uncertain whether the duo have wedding bells in their future or are destined to remain just good friends.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s incredible how people care about those characters in the show,\u201d continued Corden. \u201cIt\u2019s so great and I realise the ending of that special does very definitely tease something else. But it\u2019s always been the two of us\u2026 and we can\u2019t write separately.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve never been able to write over Zoom or anything at all. We\u2019ve just got to be in a room together, talking with a pack of Post-It Notes and a pen and at some point we get a laptop out, but that\u2019s even way down the line.\u201d<\/p>\n
