'Gavin & Stacey' star lands radio show

Gavin & Stacey actress Ruth Jones has been given her own show on BBC Radio Wales.

The comedian will present a 12-week run of Ruth Jones's Sunday Brunch on Sunday mornings at 10am.

Jones, who won a BAFTA for her BBC Three sitcom earlier this year, said she was "really looking forward" to the challenge.

"It'll be like having friends over the house for brunch," she said.

"We'll go through the papers, have a coffee, maybe a bacon bap or two and a nice chat, y'know, just relaxed and easy. Easy like Sunday morning."

Radio Wales Editor Sali Collins said: "Ruth is one of British comedy's brightest stars and she's Welsh to the core, so her collaboration with Radio Wales is a perfect fit."

The first show airs on Sunday, October 5.
