Church keen for 'Gavin & Stacey' role

Rex Features

Charlotte Church and Gavin Henson want to appear in the hit sitcom Gavin & Stacey.

According to OK!, the couple - who live close to where the series is set in Barry, Wales - would "die to be in [the show]".

Church suggested the pair could be involved in a storyline with Stacey's best friend Nessa: "Maybe it could turn out that Nessa knows us from way back. We love it so much."

Henson, a Welsh rugby international, admitted that a career in acting appealed to him: "It would be brilliant. I would love to be an actor."

Church claimed that her partner could be the first Welsh action star.

She said: "Actually we need a new action hero - there's never been a Welsh action hero, has there?"
