James Corden has shared a first look at rehearsals for the much anticipated Gavin and Stacey Christmas special
James, who plays Gavin's BF Neil "Smithy" Smith and who co-writes the show, shared the black and white snap to Twitter captioned, "Rehearsals!"
The image, which seems to be of a script read through, shows co-writer Ruth Jones (Nessa Jenkins), Joanna Page (Stacey West), Mathew Horne (Gavin Shipman), Larry Lamb (Mick Shipman), Melanie Walters (Gwen West) and Alison Steadman (Pam Shipman).
But who's missing?
Sheridan Smith, who played Smithy's sister Rudi Smith, is not there, possibly confirming that she has been snubbed from the reunion show .

Here's what the cast of Gavin and Stacey are doing now... SLIDER with cover pic
1 of 15Gavin
2 of 15Mathew Horne - a.k.a Gavin, then
Viewers saw Mathew's character, Gavin, fall in love with Stacey pretty quickly - he drove all the way to Barry to surprise her after their night together. We saw the couple laugh, row and welcome a baby. N'aww.
3 of 15And this is him now...
Mathew's come a long way from playing good ol' Gav - he's now playing Young Mr Grace in Are You Being Served and continues to collaborate with James Corden on a number of projects which included hosting The Brits in 2009.
4 of 15Joanna Page - a.k.a Stacey, then
Joanna smashed it as Stacey; the bubbly girl from Barry who got engaged five (yes, five) times before she met the love of her life Gavin. Bless her.
5 of 15And this is her now...
Similar to her character Stacey, Joanna settled down in real life too and is now mum to three children - a daughter, Eva, and her two sons, Kit and Noah.
6 of 15James Corden - a.k.a Smithy, then
Err, James Cordon as Smithy was absolutely hilarious tbh. He kept us entertained with his dancing, love for Gavin and love/hate relationship with Nessa.
7 of 15And this is him now... (along with the star of one of his majorly successful Carpool Karaoke's, Selena Gomez)
Do we really need to fill you in on this one? No, probably not, because he's everywhere. But incase you've been in hiding under a rock for the past few years, James has been doing pretty much EVERYTHING and has a majorly successful US TV programme - The Late Late show.
8 of 15Ruth Jones - a.k.a Nessa, then
Oh, what's occurring? Need we say more? Ruth was brilliant as Nessa; fierce and hilarious and as much as we saw how happy she was with Dave, we always knew Smithy was the one that truly had her heart.
9 of 15And this is her now...
She is arguably one of the funniest Welsh people to have ever lived, and since Gavin and Stacey Ruth has lived in Cardiff with her husband and three grown-up stepchildren.The actress has also been appointed an MBE - go Ruth!
10 of 15Larry Lamb - a.k.a Mick Shipman, then
Larry is a prime example of a good actor. Despite seeing him play Archie Mitchell in EastEnders, we couldn't help but fall in love with Mick from Essex. Unlike Archie Mitchell, Mick actually loved his family...
11 of 15And this is him now...
Since Gavin and Stacey, Larry has embarked upon all kinds of work; he appeared in New Tricks and I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! alongside Scarlett Moffatt.
12 of 15Alison Steadman - a.k.a Pamela Shipman, then
Alison's character Pam was probably the most iconic of them all. We loved her that she made to pretend to be a vegetarian up until the Christmas special where she finally told everyone she was eating meat - they all (minus Gwen) knew.
13 of 15And this is her now...
Since Gavin and Stacey ended, Alison has appeared in Orphan Black in 2015 and currently lives in Highgate, London with her partner Michael Elwyn.
14 of 15Rob Brydon - a.k.a Bryn West, then
Ahh, Rob as Bryn was an absolute classic. There's so many hilarious moments of him to choose from but whenever we think of him our first thought is, of course, the Gavin and Stacey fishing trip...
15 of 15And this is him now...
Long gone are the days of Bryn as a humble telly actor. Rob has since gone on to star in Hollywood movies including The Huntsmen: Winter's War (he played Gryff) and he played Master Phineus in the real life version of Cinderella.
Rob Brydon who plays Brynfor "Uncle Bryn" West is not there either, which is worrying.
We need to know what happened on the Gavin and Stacey fishing trip, dangnammit.
Perhaps he was making everyone a nice cup of tea when the photo was taken.
Robert Wilfort, who plays Jason West of the infamous trip, was there so we won't give up hope yet.
James confirmed the exciting news of a Gavin and Stacey return last month.
He shared on a photo of the script with the title 'Gavin & Stacey Christmas Special 2019' and wrote: "Ruth Jones and I have been keeping this secret for a while... We’re excited to share it with you. See you on Christmas Day @BBCOne #GavinandStacey"
Over 24 thousand fans commented underneath the snap, with Cher Lloyd writing: "YESSSSSSS!!!!!! Omg omg omg so excited!!!!".
Another commented: "Christmas Day TV is sorted 😱😱".
Someone else said: "I have tears in my eyes 😍😍".
One more added: "Oh my God it's happening".
If it's anything like their 2008 Christmas special that saw Pam slate the Cardiff lot after discovering that Gavin and Stacey were moving to Barry we reckon we're in for a right treat.

Last year, Ruth hinted that a Gavin & Stacey reunion could be on the table.
She told The Daily Star: "James and I were talking about this the other day.
"I think Baby Neil, who is now probably about 11 ... Nessa is training him down the slots. She's training him in the art of the dodgy grabber machine and how to weight the two pences."
