Gavin and Stacey star Rob Brydon delighted fans as he arrived for filming for the show's Christmas special.

Brydon walked along one of the main locations of the show, the steep hill in Barry on which its characters Gwen and Stacey’s mid-terrace house is located.

Joanna Page, who plays Stacey, walked along the road with Brydon waving to cheering fans.

Melanie Walter, who plays Gwen, also waved to onlookers as she arrived on set.

Uncle Bryn, who lives right across the road from Stacey, was filmed riding a bike down the street.

Written by and starring Ruth Jones and James Corden, the new episode of the popular sitcom - which first aired in 2007 - will be the last.

Earlier this week, Corden greeted fans and posed for selfies and told ������̳ News it was "overwhelming" and "wonderful" to be back in Barry.

The series was mostly filmed in and around the town of Barry, Vale of Glamorgan - including many of the scenes that are set in England - and has won two Bafta TV awards in 2008 and a National Television Award in 2010.
