Who is Larry Lamb’s girlfriend Marie Hugo and how long has she dated the Gavin & Stacey actor?

LARRY Lamb is about to take on the role of Michael Shipman for the last time in the upcoming Gavin and Stacey Christmas special.

But the actor has his own Pam outside of Gavin and Stacey - here's what we know about Larry's girlfriend Marie Hugo.

Who is Marie Hugo?

Marie is an artist who also goes by the name Marie Victorine and splits her time between London and her home country France.

Her notable works include a monumental installation for the Château de Haroué, near Nancy, in 2007 - and several private collections in Europe and the United States.

She works using the name Marie Hugo.

The artist has exhibited in New York, Tokyo and London.

How long has Larry Lamb been dating Marie Hugo?

Larry was first pictured with Marie at a charity event in Hereford back in October 2016 - but it is not known exactly how long they have been together.

He was believed to still be in a relationship with Clare, with whom he has two daughters.

This was when he entered the I'm a Celeb jungle that same year.

Larry has owned a house in Normandy, France, for the last 20 years - and his youngest children went to school there.

He is fluent in French and was seen nattering away to Marie in her native language on the jungle bridge as he left the ITV show in 2016.

Has Larry Lamb ever been married?

Larry has been married three times, after first tying the knot when he was just 21.

He later admitted that he had only wed Anita Wiseby because she had fallen pregnant.

Larry's second marriage was to an American nurse called Jacquie Parris, who he met while working as a car salesman in Germany.

Then, in 1979, Larry wed Irish singer Linda Martin - who he divorced in 1996.

When can you watch the new Gavin and Stacey special?

Five years after Nessa got down on her knee in Barry and proposed to Smithy, fans have been desperate to see what happened next.

Tomorrow on Christmas day, the final ever episode of Gavin and Stacye is set to air on BBC One.

The special will air from 9pm on the channel.

The last special in 2019 was the most-watched comedy in 17 years, attracting 18.49 million viewers.

Whilst very little is known about what will happen in this final episode, fans cannot wait to see it.

The official plot we know so far, according to the BBC website, sees the gang go for an Essex Christmas.

Pam is stressed, Pete and Dawn are back on the rocks and Gavin and Stacey are looking for ways to spice up their marriage.

The show creators, James Corden and Ruth Jones, have confirmed that this is the last ever time these characters will be seen.
