Ruth Jones too thin for 'Gavin & Stacey' reunion, says Rob Brydon

Gavin & Stacey star Rob Brydon has suggested that the show will never return due to Ruth Jones's significant weight loss.
Stella actress Jones, who wrote the BBC sitcom with co-star James Corden, revealed in January that she has lost four and a half stone over the last two years.
Speaking about a possible reunion, Brydon argued that his ex-colleague's new slimline figure would make it "tricky" for her to play bolshy Nessa Jenkins again.
"It'll be tricky now, as a lot of what worked about Nessa was her weight," he told The Sun. "I personally think it would be best just to leave it."
However, Brydon added that he would not be opposed to returning as Uncle Bryn if Gavin & Stacey does come back.
"People want it - and if they did do it, I wouldn't be the one who stood out and didn't," he insisted.
Jones said in December that there will "definitely" be at least one more episode of Gavin & Stacey in the future, as well as a possible musical adaptation.
