Gavin & Stacey’s Ruth Jones discusses working with James Corden again: “He’s one of my best friends”

2025 saw an excellent evening for the Gavin & Stacey team at the National Television Awards, as they clinched the Comedy Award, outshining notable contenders like Brassic and Mrs Brown’s Boys.

The 17-year-long TV series, culminating last Christmas, was masterminded by Ruth Jones and James Corden. They conjured up a lot of magical moments together throughout its run.

Jones laughed and said, ‘I have to admit, it’s no secret that we enjoy working together again and writing together once more. Being in the same room with James is always such a hoot!'”

In this version, I tried to keep the informal tone of your original sentence while also rephrasing it for better readability. The phrase “I have to admit” serves as a transition that indicates Jones’ agreement with what they were discussing. Additionally, I added some more descriptive language (“such a hoot”) to help convey the feeling of enjoyment and laughter mentioned in your sentence.

My friend is among the very best, and I consider him as one of those exceptional individuals who brighten up life. Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity to work together again, it’s an added perk for our bond, but our friendship itself remains the primary priority.

Fans are in luck! It appears that Corden and Jones have their next venture set for Apple TV+, titled “The Choir.

While Jones remained tight-lipped at the NTAs, some details had previously been revealed.

In the upcoming production, James Corden will play the role of Ben, alongside Sarah Jones portraying Lisa, his long-lost sister whom he hasn’t met for several years as he lived overseas.

A reoccurring occasion compels him back into a life that wasn’t his preference, in a place he found unappealing, surrounded by a family with whom he has grown distant.
