James Corden wrote Gavin & Stacey with Ruth Jones

James Corden has confirmed that hit BBC programme Gavin & Stacey will return to our screens.

The actor - who wrote the comedy show with his co-star Ruth Jones, 45 - says he enjoyed working on the series too much to let it go.

'Writing with Ruth is a gift,' says James, 33.

'I plan on doing some more. It'd be a crime not to, it's a great show.'

During their time on Gavin & Stacey, James and his on-screen best friend Mathew Horne, 33, appeared in sketch show Horne & Corden and movie Lesbian Vampire Killers together.

Both were widely criticised and it was thought that the boys had grown apart as a result - but James insists this isn't true.

'Hopefully you learn a lot,' James tells Live.

'He's still a really good mate.'
