If like us you are still fuming at the way the Gavin & Stacey Christmas special ended last week, you are going to LOVE the news you are about to read...

After Nessa (Ruth Jones) declared her love for Smithy (James Corden) by getting down on one knee and popping the question, fans have been crying out for more, with many urging the creators to write more shows.

Now, with rumours swirling, 10-year-old Oscar Hartland, who played Smithy and Nessa's son Neil the Baby, has appeared on Good Morning Britain and let slip some exciting news.

The young actor revealed that James Corden told the Gavin & Stacey cast there COULD be more episodes IF fans want them.

He said, "I did ask James in the process of filming, but he said only if 'it's what the people want'. He said he doesn't want people to be like 'Oh no, it's Gavin & Stacey on again'".

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.

And 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.

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.

And 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.

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.

And 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.

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.

And 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!

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...

And 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.

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.

And 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.

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...

And 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.

Oscar then revealed he'd love there to be more episodes, saying, "I would like them to make a series four so much. I would like Smithy to say yes and for the last episode to be their wedding!"

His comments come just days after Larry Lamb, who plays Mick, told fans to "keep up the pressure" for a fourth series.

Tweeting to his followers, the actor wrote, "Well just to say how happy we all are that the show was as well received as we all guessed it would be ... and thrilled to bits even so !! LoL.

"Thanks so much for every one of the glorious reviews .. you’ve really made my Christmas..the hard work we all put in clearly appreciated by everyone!!"

The former I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! campmate then responded to a fan who wrote, "Please convince @RuthJonesNews& @JKCorden to do another series !! U were all fantastic- as usual xxx" and he said, "Just keep up the pressure!!"

Over 11 million people tuned in to BBC on Christmas Day to watch the special, but fans were left with an almighty cliffhanger at the end of the hour-long episode, leaving many fans expressing their urge to know the outcome of Nessa's shock proposal.

Although there's no official plans for any more episodes of the hit sitcom, if old friends Ruth Jones and James Corden start writing again, we can only imagine how amazing series four would be.
