Mathew Horne is doing Gavin and Stacey impressions in cheap videos for fans amid rumours of the show’s return.
The 45-year-old actor is flogging personalised clips for just £87. Show lovers can also message him for £4 but they aren’t guaranteed a reply.
In one video, Horne – who played Gavin – mimicked Smithy – played by James Corden – who used to call him “Gav-lar”. He also jokingly called a couple getting married “s**gs.”

It was in reference to Gavin and Smithy using it in a jovial manner in one episode. It was reported last week the BBC sitcom is set to be back on TV screens for a Christmas special this year. But co-writer Ruth Jones – who also plays Ness in the show – said it was just a “rumour.” In one Cameo clip to an engaged couple called Gary and Adele he quips: “Gaz-a-lar, Adele-a-lar. Ten years together and you are getting married. What took you so long Gary? Come on man.”

Horne – who himself wed Celina Bassili three years ago – added: “Hope you have an even better day than mine. You s**gs.” In another clip, he tells a fan whose family contacted him: “I just wanted to wish you a very happy wedding day. I hear you are a huge Gavin and Stacey fan so they got you this message from me.”

One show lover Martha said: “Mathew is amazing. Best gift ever.” Another called Kevin added: “You are a legend thank you. And still so so dreamy.” Kate said: “Really nice message and very quick turnaround, thanks so much.” Bafta-winning Gavin and Stacey – also starring Joanna Page and Rob Brydon – ran from 2007 to 2010. It returned for a festive special in 2019.

Fans shared their disappointment in the comments section after Gavin and Stacey creator Ruth branded reports of the show’s return as “rumours”. One person joked: “Cheers Ruth, kids are crying now.” Another reacted: “[My] heart has been ripped to shreds with this emotional rollercoaster.” A third person simply wrote: “Gutted.” Another fan commented: “Well that’s ruined my Christmas already and it’s only February.” Someone else responded: “I’m going to cry.” Another person said: “Devastated.” A final fan wrote: “Crying now.”
