The actress will step back into Nessa’s trademark black bob wig and leather skirt to read Radio 4’s Shipping Forecast as the programme celebrates its centenary on the BBC on New Year’s Day. During the final episode of Gavin And Stacey this year, Smithy played by James Corden, 46, stopped Nessa from going back to work on the ships by racing to Southampton Dock. Actors Julie Hesmondhalgh, Stephen Fry and Line Of Duty’s Adrian Dunbar, and sailor Dame Ellen MacArthur are also among those marking the first broadcast of the Met Office’s forecast on the BBC in October 1925.
