James Corden returned to the UK shortly after it was announced he was to bring the hit sitcom back alongside writing partner and co-star Ruth Jones for a festive edition. Despite rumours of a long-running rift, Corden was seen laughing with Mathew Horne, who plays the titular Gavin, with Rob Brydon also present. Speaking about the special on Loose Women earlier this week, Lamb – who plays Gavin’s father, Mick – said: “I was just at the point where I was going to have a tattoo saying: ‘I don’t know, don’t ask me’ – and then I get a phone call from James Corden and then I have to carry it around for two months until it all finally came through and then I got to read a script.” He added: “They’ve not tried to turn it into a great big sort of circus or something, they’ve rolled it on and there you are ten years down the line.
