James Corden travels home with co-stars on public transport before jumping on a rental bike despite being worth ‘£70M’ – after filming Gavin and Stacey’s final episode in Wales

James Corden travels home with co-stars on public transport before jumping on a rental bike despite being worth '£70M' - after filming Gavin and Stacey's final episode in Wales

As a longtime fan of British sitcoms, I can hardly contain my excitement about the upcoming final episode of Gavin & Stacey! Having grown up with this delightful show as part of my television diet, it feels like revisiting old friends after a long absence. The anticipation is palpable, much like the tension that built when Nessa dropped to one knee in the last Christmas special.


As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but share this heartwarming tale about the one and only James Corden. Contrary to his £70M net worth, he chose the common man’s path home after wrapping up Gavin and Stacey’s final episode in London on Sunday. Instead of hopping into a private jet or luxury car, good ol’ Jim jumped onto public transportation! Now that’s a star I admire!

46-year-old actor-cum-showmaker was seen at Paddington Station along with fellow actors Alison Steadman (age 78) and Matthew Horne (also 46). They arrived together, later opting for a hired bicycle to complete their trip.

James, dressed in a green jacket and jeans, carrying his necessities in a backpack, looked relaxed as he bid farewell to Matthew, an actor playing the character Gavin, on the train station platform.

Previously, the host of The Late Late Show assisted Alison (the actress portraying Pam Shipman) in transporting her luggage to an already-waiting taxi.

Later, James climbed onto a Lime shared bicycle and inserted earbuds while pedaling through the city on his way home.

James amassed his wealth following his assignment as the host of the Late Late Show in the U.S., allegedly given a £40M contract to keep on with the show; however, he chose to move back to the UK with his family last year.

Apart from that, he co-owns a production company named Fulwell 73 with his friend Ben Turner. This company has been responsible for creating shows such as the Kardashians on Hulu, An Audience With Adele, and Ed Sheeran’s documentary titled The Sum Of It All on Disney+.

Last week, the news that the cast of Gavin and Stacey was filming a wedding scene for their long-awaited finale had me buzzing with excitement!

Actor Steffan Rhodri, known for his role as Nessa’s former fiancee Dave in the show, unexpectedly reappeared on set, raising questions about whether Smithy and Nessa will eventually get married following five years of anticipation.

In the final episode of the third season, he was last seen on Gavin and Stacey as Nessa called off their wedding.

His surprise return will no doubt spark worry from fans that Smithy declined Nessa’s proposal.

As a devoted admirer, I couldn’t help but notice the absence of Nessa from the set recently. Additionally, it seems she’s been sporting a bare wedding finger this week. This has only fueled rumors that her union might not be taking the traditional vows after all.

According to recent updates about Gavin and Stacey, there is speculation that the final episode will feature Sheridan Smith reprising her role as Smithy’s sister Rudi, as she was recently seen shooting an unexpected appearance on set.

In the first and second seasons of the popular TV series, the actor portrayed an exaggerated role that captivated audiences, and they were recently seen shooting their scenes for future episodes a week ago.

According to a source, the actress seamlessly slipped back into Rudy’s role, making it seem as if no time had elapsed since she last played the character.

According to the source, Sheridan was ecstatic to return to the group, and her performances were simply outstanding.

It’s also been revealed that the cast is working on a behind-the-scenes programme to mark its final ever outing. 

Barry Island was mobbed last week when the original cast returned to make the finale.

Reflecting on this poignant moment, I can’t help but feel a profound sense of nostalgia as I share with you all that today marks our final days on this beloved island. It’s hard to express the sheer magnitude of emotions this place evokes; it’s more than just a location, it’s the heart and soul of our show. As I wander through its familiar paths, each corner brings back memories – memories that feel like yesterday.

Kicking off our filming on the initial day, the actors posted an image of a clapperboard, captioned: “We’ve begun shooting the last episode of Gavin & Stacey! Let’s admit it, we’re quite thrilled about it.

The upcoming episode marks the first installment of the BBC comedy series since its last holiday special back in 2019. In that episode, which captivated 12 million viewers, the storyline concluded with a suspenseful moment: Nessa got down on one knee and proposed to Smithy, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the resolution.

The story revolves around the highs and lows of the romance between Gavin and Stacey, who are separated by distance at first – he resides with his family in Billericay, Essex, while she dwells on Barry Island.

In time, the couple gets married, but meanwhile, Smithy and Nessa welcome a child named Neil into the world. Today, Neil is 15 years old and is set to make an appearance in the last episode as well.

Gavin And Stacey’s final episode will air on BBC One on Christmas Day.
