Five years after the cliffhanger ending, Ruth Jones reflects on the enduring love themes of Gavin and Stacey and playfully admits her difficulty in recreating Nessa's iconic proposal.
Gavin and Stacey ended on the ultimate cliffhanger when Nessa proposed to Smithy , but now Ruth Jones has highlighted why she couldn’t do it again. Ruth, 58, has played Nessa for 17 years, with her on/off romance with James Corden’s Smithy being a central plot. The last time we caught up with the gang, Nessa and Smithy were once again struggling to define their relationship.

Before we could hear Smithy’s answer the credits rolled, and fans have been left in suspense for five years. At a special screening for the Gavin and Stacey finale, which will air on Christmas day, Ruth joked that she’d now struggle to recreate the proposal. ‘It took me a little while to get up off my knees, and to be quite honest with you, I don’t think I could get down on one knee now,’ she stated with a laugh while speaking on stage at London’s Ham Yard Hotel. Fans have waited five years to find out what happens. In a more emotional part of the chat, Ruth became teary when discussing the running themes of the BBC show, with one element clear in each of the 22 episodes. ‘What has remained throughout all of the episodes is this sense of love – I’m going to cry now – love between friends, love between family members, conventional boy meets girl love stories and unconventional relationships,’ she explained. ‘So I think that’s kind of remained the same, and the lack of cynicism has remained the same. Basically all the people, all the characters in the show really do love each other. Call it boring, but they do
