The Gavin and Stacey legend will be making a return to the iconic location in which the sitcom was filmed, but unfortunately, not for a Christmas<\/a> special.<\/p>\n Before getting into the chat, Ed Balls and Susanna Reid<\/a> started off by singing Happy Birthday to the star, with a decorative animation on the green screen.<\/p>\n “You have come in to Good Morning Britain on your birthday!,” Susanna exclaimed, as Larry gushed that there was no better way to start his big day.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Susanna Reid tells Ed Balls ‘we’re on TV’ after very suggestive comment to Lorraine Kelly<\/a>READ MORE: Loose Women chaos as ITV show opens with all four panellists missing<\/a> “How are you feeling on your birthday? Do you mind me asking how old you are?,” Susanna asked, as Larry revealed he was 78-years-old today. Ed gasped in shock, while Susanna told the former EastEnders<\/a> star he looked “phenomenal”.<\/p>\n Although Larry is taking a break from major roles, he’s not completely calling it quits. He’s heading on a nationwide book tour, with his last stop in the iconic Barry Island.<\/p>\n Of course, Ed and Susanna had to clear the rumours up. It was earlier rumoured that the star would be appearing on I’m A Celebrity<\/a> All Stars, after appearing on the series on 2016. However, he fiercely shut down these rumours, and many more, down on GMB<\/a>.<\/p>\n “Is it true you’re back on I’m A Celebrity this year, for All Stars. And is there going to be a Christmas edition of Gavin and Stacey and you’re going to be in the new Ruth and James Apple TV comedy drama?”<\/p>\n “No, no and no!” Larry laughed. “All totally incorrect!”<\/p>\n Show creators James Corden and Ruth Jones are said to be putting their brains together once again for a follow-up to the iconic BBC<\/a> comedy.<\/p>\n Earlier this month, it was reported fans can expect to see a brand new ten-part comedy drama from James and Ruth as they have reportedly signed a huge deal with AppleTV+.<\/p>\n It’s reported that the series will be hitting screens in 2027, with a source telling the Sun: \u201cNaturally there was a lot of interest around the script and a major bidding war to land this production.<\/p>\n \u201cBut James already had an excellent relationship with AppleTV+. It acquired the rights to his Carpool Karaoke<\/a>, and it made sense to go in this direction.”<\/p>\n Like this story?
