Following the record-breaking success of the Gavin and Stacey finale, James Corden is the bookmaker's favourite to appear on the next series of Celebrity Big Brother. Corden's potential reality TV stint could be a make-or-break moment as he seeks to reclaim his reputation after a tumultuous few years.
Following the success of the Gavin and Stacey finale which aired on Christmas Day, James Corden has emerged as an early favourite among bookmakers to appear in the next series of Celebrity Big Brother, set to air in early 2025. The Gavin and Stacey finale, which was the final ever episode of the beloved BBC sitcom, was the most watched programme on December 25 this year with preliminary overnight figures from BARB, a ratings tracker, indicating that 12.3m people tuned in to watch the show.
