Gavin & Stacey star Ruth Jones has landed her own BBC One Christmas chatshow.

The one-hour festive special will be titled Ruth Jones's Christmas Cracker, according to The Sun.

Guests will include her sitcom co-stars Joanna Page and James Corden, Dr Who writer Russell T. Davies and opera singer Katherine Jenkins.

The programme will apparently also feature roving reporter segments with Jones's Gavin & Stacey character Nessa.

"It was a bit like the Charlotte Church Show," said an audience member. "Everyone was in stitches when they saw Nessa as the roving reporter. It worked really well."

Gavin & Stacey returns on Thursday at 9pm on BBC One.
