Gavin & Stacey star feared co-star was 'alien' as they 'exploded' on-screen


Laura Aikman, who played Sonia in the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special, stars in new BBC drama This City Is Ours alongside Sean Bean - and she was left fearing her co-star.

Fresh off her role that left fans agog when she turned up as Smithy's unexpected bride on Christmas Day, Laura Aikman is now taking on the part of Rachel Duffy in the gritty new BBC One drugs drama This City Is Ours. Laura turned into a familiar face on the telly when she grabbed the role of junior doctor May Phelps in Casualty between 2009 and 2010, her career rocketed as she went on to feature in The Job Lot, Bluestone 42, starred in the Cary Grant inspired series Archie, and bagged a part in ITV's retro robbery drama Joan. Disney+ just spilt the beans this month that Laura snagged a part in their upcoming intense series Suspect: The Shooting Of Jean Charles De Menezes, joining an all-star cast including Daniel Mays, Russell Tovey, and Max Beesley.
