Ruth Jones reprises her iconic character from Gavin & Stacey to read the BBC Radio 4 Shipping Forecast in call back to THAT series finale


Ruth Jones has reprised her iconic character Nessa from Gavin & Stacey to read the BBC Radio 4 Shipping Forecast.

The actress stepped back into Nessa's trademark black bob wig and leather skirt to read Radio 4's Shipping Forecast 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.
