Gavin & Stacey star James Corden has sparked speculation that much-loved Uncle Bryn will pass away this Christmas.
James, who writes the hit comedy with co-star Ruth Jones, teased fans that the long-awaited Xmas special – the very last episode of the show – will include the character’s funeral.
Stacey’s Uncle Bryn, played by Would I Lie To You? host Rob Brydon, 59, has been in the show since its 2007 pilot.
But at The Global Gift Gala charity event in London this week, James said: “What we were editing today was a very moving and emotional scene at Bryn’s funeral. I’m joking, I promise. Or am I?”
