Gavin & Stacey star Alison Steadman has admitted that she would "run to Cardiff" in order to film new episodes of the hit comedy.

After an absence of 10 years, the show returned for a one-off Christmas special last year and was an unbridled success, ultimately drawing in 18.5 million viewers.

As a result there are calls for more episodes to be made, particularly as the special ended on a cliffhanger, and now Steadman - aka Pam Shipman - has given her backing to the idea.

"I don't take any notice of rumours," she told the Radio Times, "but there's no way I wouldn't do it. I'd run to Cardiff to be involved."

Earlier this year co-writer Ruth Jones (Nessa) revealed that there are currently "no plans" for more new episodes.
