I never ask Ruth or James if they\u2019re doing anymore or anything, they\u2019re the ones who write it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t have a clue. I have no idea what\u2019s happening.

I\u2019ve got no other information than there was last time I said.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Talking specifically about series creators Ruth Jones and James Corden, Page said: \u201cI\u2019ve never ever asked them [Ruth and James] if they\u2019re going to write anymore, I don\u2019t know why. I just never ever have. So I absolutely have no idea. No idea.\u201d<\/p> <p>But would she be keen to reprise her leading role as Stacey Shipman in the series?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh god, I think we all would,\u201d she admitted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was just a job completely different to any other. We\u2019re all like a family. I just love them all dearly, they\u2019re just such fab people, so I think we all would love to meet up again and do another one.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-handler__container image-handler__container--aspect\" style=\"padding-bottom: calc(100% \/ 1.501210653753);\"> <picture> <source media=\"(max-width: 320px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/gavinandstacey-c620052.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=299%2C199, https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/gavinandstacey-c620052.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=45&amp;resize=599%2C399 2x\" type=\"image\/webp\"> <source media=\"(max-width: 320px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/gavinandstacey-c620052.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=299%2C199, https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/gavinandstacey-c620052.jpg?quality=45&amp;resize=599%2C399 2x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\"> <source media=\"(max-width: 375px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/gavinandstacey-c620052.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=354%2C236\" type=\"image\/webp\"> <source media=\"(max-width: 375px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/gavinandstacey-c620052.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=354%2C236\" type=\"image\/jpeg\"> <source media=\"(max-width: 425px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/gavinandstacey-c620052.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=404%2C269\" type=\"image\/webp\"> <source media=\"(max-width: 425px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/gavinandstacey-c620052.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=404%2C269\" type=\"image\/jpeg\"> <source media=\"(max-width: 589px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/gavinandstacey-c620052.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=554%2C369\" type=\"image\/webp\"> <source media=\"(max-width: 589px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/gavinandstacey-c620052.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=554%2C369\" type=\"image\/jpeg\"> <source media=\"(min-width: 992px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/gavinandstacey-c620052.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C413\" type=\"image\/webp\"> <source media=\"(min-width: 992px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/gavinandstacey-c620052.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C413\" type=\"image\/jpeg\"> <source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/gavinandstacey-c620052.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=407%2C271\" type=\"image\/webp\"> <source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/gavinandstacey-c620052.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=407%2C271\" type=\"image\/jpeg\"> <source media=\"(min-width: 590px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/gavinandstacey-c620052.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=555%2C370\" type=\"image\/webp\"> <source media=\"(min-width: 590px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/gavinandstacey-c620052.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=555%2C370\" type=\"image\/jpeg\"> <img class=\"wp-image-1644465 align size-landscape_thumbnail image-handler__image image-handler__image--aspect no-wrap js-lazyload\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/gavinandstacey-c620052.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C413\" width=\"620\" height=\"413\" alt=\"Gavin &amp;
