The much-anticipated return of Gavin And Stacey, which sees the cast of the Wales- and Essex-based comedy reunite, is due to air this Christmas Day on BBC One.
But there have been rumours of a feud between stars Mathew Horne, who plays Gavin Shipman, and Smithy actor James Corden.
Now Mathew, 41, has slammed those rumours, calling them a ‘lie’.

The Metro reports that the two were believed to have stopped speaking to one another after Mathew was absent from James’s episode of Piers Morgan’s Life Stories.
While cast and crew members left messages, Mathew’s absence sparked rumours of a feud between the two.
Setting the record straight, he was quoted as saying: “I didn’t go on that show because I was filming out of London, and they could only film my interview on one day, and I couldn’t do it.
“The other reason is that I dislike Piers Morgan and everything he stands for,” he continued. “With hindsight, perhaps I should have put my feelings about Morgan and ethics aside, and supported my friend to whom I am greatly indebted and love very much.
