Joanna Page admits that bidding farewell to Gavin and Stacey with final Christmas Special ‘felt like grieving’ as she poses for stunning shoot with Woman&Home
As I delve into Joanna Page’s life journey, I am struck by her resilience and versatility as an actress. Her role as Nessa in Gavin & Stacey has become iconic, but it’s her real-life experiences that truly shine. From juggling family life with a successful acting career to facing the challenges of motherhood, Joanna seems to embody the quintessential modern woman.
Joanna Page recently opened up about her heartbreak filming the final episode of Gavin and Stacey.
This year on Christmas Day, the final episode will be broadcast as a 90-minute special. Fans of the series have been eagerly requesting an ending to the tale, and this is it.
Audience members eagerly anticipate that this upcoming episode will provide closure, especially regarding the romantic saga of Smithy and Nessa, as well as shedding light on the mysterious events that transpired during Bryn and Jason’s fishing excursion.
In an interview with Woman&Home Magazine, the 47-year-old Welsh actress, known for her role as Stacey Shipman in the acclaimed TV show, admitted that shooting the final episode brought about profound sadness for her.
She shared with the press: “Parting ways with Gavin & Stacey was like experiencing a loss. Coming back home after filming left me completely drained, as I bid farewell to every location and individual.
From the very start, I couldn’t help but shed tears. We all sensed that something significant was happening, which made our reunion feel incredibly special and meaningful.
The gathering felt much like a large family reunion, and since I understood it was our final meeting, I didn’t feel anxious. Instead of worrying about making a good impression, I simply enjoyed the moment.
She mentioned that her intention was simply to join everyone, enjoy themselves, and bid farewell to her family – as she knows she’ll meet them again in the future.
At the age of 29, I embarked on Gavin & Stacey. No other role has ever stirred such a deep response within me, nor will any future job likely approach its impact.
In addition, during the interview, she also talked about managing her work and home life as a mother of four children.
In a heartfelt confession, I exclaimed: “During my recent solitude, I made a special purchase that’s been a long time coming – it’s been two and a half years since I last bought a regular bra!
Initially, I captured the Gavin & Stacey Christmas special while donning maternity nursing bras. Later on, by the end of it all, I switched to a more mature, everyday, adult bra!
You recall that moment when you’re rediscovering your identity, feeling self-assured and appealing? During this time, I was apart from the kids, not in my role as a mother with constant responsibilities, and free from the burden of cooking for everyone.
She commented: ‘I made room mentally for some relaxation, allowing me a moment to unwind by taking deep breaths and catching some rest.’
Hearing that comment left me feeling genuinely great when I arrived home and realized, it’s not only that I’m a Mom, but also Jo.
Joanna is wedded to actor James Thornton, and they have four kids collectively. They exchanged vows in December 2003.
Instead, it was disclosed that Joanna and James haven’t gone on a weekend getaway without their kids, instead finding it necessary to seize their private moments when they can.
In terms of her marriage and intimate matters, she mentioned that James and she have not yet arranged for their four children to be taken care of so they could have a weekend getaway.
Instead of saying, ‘We can squeeze it into two hours!’, you could paraphrase it as, ‘We’ll be able to fit everything into just two hours!’
In my own words, I’d express it like this: “We truly seized our night out, let me assure you, sleep was scarce. Fortunately, my parents took care of the little ones, so we didn’t spend the night away, instead, we arrived home in the wee hours.
Additionally, the celebrity mentioned to the press that they are receptive to the notion of fostering or adopting a child, and they’ve been lately contemplating this matter together.
She shared: “I’ve been pondering over the idea of fostering or adoption. James and I have discussed this, as I still feel quite nurturing, and it’s a possibility I might consider in the future.
“I’m content with my decision to get sterilized, and even though I had baby fever at the beginning of the year, that feeling has passed now.
At the start of this year, I underwent a comprehensive health examination that included an imaging test. The results indicated that my right ovary was no longer functioning properly.
‘Nothing was left, not even a single egg. In that instant, it seemed as though my entire being was whispering, “This is the end.”‘
In September, the 22nd season of Strictly Come Dancing made its comeback on BBC One, and it was disclosed that they had frequently invited Joanna to participate in the program.
She revealed: ‘I’ve been asked for years to go on Strictly Come Dancing and have always said no.’
‘You’ve got to give up a massive chunk of your time – and with kids so small, I can’t do that because I wouldn’t want to do it half-heartedly.’
She mentioned: “I believe I’d find it enjoyable in the future, when everyone is in school and a little older, to have the kids join me during rehearsals.
Allow me a few years to enhance the strength of my pelvic floor somewhat, after which I believe I’ll be ready to fully immerse myself in the activity!
The entire interview is available for reading from December 5, 2024, when Woman & Home’s January issue hits the stands.

17 years after they first posed together, the cast of Gavin and Stacey recently reenacted their famous image, generating excitement ahead of the final episode of the widely acclaimed BBC comedy series.
Over the next few weeks, audiences are eagerly awaiting the broadcast, where they’ll find out what transpired following Nessa (Ruth Jones) and Smithy’s (James Corden) proposal five years back.
Accompanying the provided image, BBC hinted at significant storyline developments. They suggest that the mystery surrounding Uncle Bryn’s fishing trip might finally be unveiled, while also indicating that the romantic life of Gavin and Stacey appears to be going through a rough patch.
In the ongoing comedy, the character of Uncle Bryn, played by Rob Brydon, becomes evasive whenever questioned regarding the infamous fishing expedition he undertook with his nephew Jason (portrayed by Rob Wilfort). They both remain tight-lipped on this topic.
Five years have passed since Nessa proposed to Smithy on bended knee, expressing her love, and the BBC hinted that much has transpired in their lives since then.
In Barry, Bryn is preparing the Picasso for a journey to Essex. Meanwhile, Stacey and Gavin are exploring fresh ideas to revitalize their 17-year-long marriage, while Gwen’s behavior seems unusual.
Nessa has launched a new business, while Neil the Baby is set to start an apprenticeship with his father. (In this sentence, “Neil the Baby” is used for clarity as there are two Neils in the original sentence.)
Over in Billericay, Pam finds herself under pressure as she prepares to play the role of hostess. This challenge is compounded by Mick, who has recently retired, practicing his golf swings in the living room. Moreover, there have been some turbulent moments in Pete and Dawn’s relationship.
I’m inviting you to embark on our final voyage to Barry and Billericay, where we’ll reconnect with the Shipman and West families one last time. Perhaps we’ll unravel the mystery of that fateful fishing excursion together.
