Gavin & Stacey star Melanie Walters has revealed that she was \u201capprehensive\u201d before filming the show\u2019s comeback Christmas special in 2019.<\/p>\n

Speaking exclusively to\u00a0RadioTimes.com<\/a><\/strong> for The Big RT Interview<\/a> ahead of Biff & Chip<\/a>\u2018s CBeebies premiere, the Mumbles-based actor, who played Gwen in the hit BBC sitcom, said she was initially nervous about returning to the comedy \u2013 however, reuniting with the cast immediately put her at ease.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we were quite apprehensive in the sense that we hadn\u2019t seen each other for such a long time.<\/p>

\u201cBut it was one of those things that when we went into Soho House, where we had the reading, we went in and within minutes it was like we had only seen each other the other day.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know when you get a best friend and you don\u2019t see them for years and you meet each other and it\u2019s like you haven\u2019t not seen each other at all, you\u2019ve seen each other yesterday lunchtime? And it was like that. We just slipped straight back into it.\u201d<\/p>\n
