Gavin and Stacey's Larry Lamb has admitted watching the final ever episode left him feeling seriously emotional.
Appearing on The One Show alongside Stacey star Joanna Page on Wednesday (December 18), the Mick actor teased that the much-anticipated finale is "the ultimate emotional rollercoaster".
After host Alex Jones revealed she'd seen the episode and thought it was "everything everybody wanted and more" (even saying it left her "in all sorts of a mess"), Lamb shared: "[We've] been the same.... poleaxed, completely exhausted [since we watched it]. The absolute, ultimate emotional rollercoaster. You're up, you're down, you're on, you're standing still."

The former EastEnders actor also praised Ruth Jones and James Corden's writing, sharing: "It's quite extraordinary. It's the most amazing piece of writing. Amazing. So clever."
Page added that she read through the script as soon as she got it because she couldn't wait to find out what happened. "I laughed, I cried," she said.
