Gavin and Stacey: Joanna Page ‘terrified’ over Christmas finale script secrets

“I’m the same as everybody else,” she said. “I’m like, ‘oh my gosh, what’s going to happen?’

“I’ve been waiting five years, you know.”

Page, who is currently filming a new series alongside Wynne Evans exploring the Welsh coastline, said it was during a break from filming the series that she finally received the Gavin and Stacey script.

“It was about seven o’clock at night, and I was thinking, ‘oh my gosh, are they gonna send it? Are they gonna send it?’

“Because they had sent a message saying that they had now finished it, and I was in the services and suddenly I looked at my phone.

“I was waiting for my burger to come through, I was really tired as well, and I looked down at my phone, I thought ‘Oh, I wonder if it’s there?’ and suddenly it flashed up and the script had arrived.

“I looked around – it was quite surreal. And I thought, ‘I’m standing here in the services, waiting for my burger, and everybody else is ordering, and on my phone right now I have got something on here that everybody would love to know what’s going on’.”
