Corden and Jones Reunite for Lunch in London

Gavin and Stacey's on-screen lovers and Ruth Jones enjoyed lunch together near Primrose Hill on Wednesday.

The duo, who played the beloved characters Smithy and Nessa on the show, were making the most of London's sunny weather this week as they stepped out.

Ruth, 59, and James, 47, seemed deep in conversation as they strolled through the north London area.

Their characters ended up together in 2024's finale  Special leaving fans delighted after their on-off love story. 

Ruth recently broke her silence on Celebrity Traitors and  Come Dancing rumours on an episode of The  Show.

During the conversation, Jonathan, 65, asked Ruth about whether she'd ever sign up for Strictly Come Dancing. 

She replied: 'I've been and watched Strictly, and it is amazing what people do. 

'But it is absolutely not for me. They would have to pay me an absolutely ridiculous amount of money - there isn't a figure.'

Furthermore, Ruth also addressed speculation that she has joined Celebrity Traitors series two.

Jonathan took part in the first series of the star-studded spin off last year - as a Traitor.

The actress shared: 'There was a big rumour about me doing it as well. 

'The thing is I had sort of been asked about doing it and I love the show and I think it's amazing, but then I thought I'll have to put on a wet suit and I'll have to go in one of them lochs, I'll get bitten by the midges. 

'I'd rather sit in my pyjamas and watch everyone else.'

Elsewhere, she reflected on winning a  for her role as Nessa in Gavin and Stacey.

She said: 'Oh gosh. Well, I didn't hear my name properly. The only reason I knew I'd won was because Rob Brydon and Jo Page were quite hysterical. 

'They were going, 'Yes yes!' and it was a bit like the barn dance episode in Gavin and Stacey when Rob Brydon goes, 'Surprise surprise!'

'I went up and because genuinely I didn't think I was going to win, and I'm not doing that humble brag thing, I'd taken my shoes off and I was sort of settled in for the night. 

'And then when they called my name, I had to go up bare foot which I kind of quite liked. Very freeing.'
