Gavin & Stacey star Joanna Page has disappointed fans, by revealing that a film version of the BBC comedy is unlikely.

However, she has let slip that she would love to take part in a musical version.

The 33-year-old, who plays the title role of Stacey in the award-winning sitcom, admitted to PA that she is intrigued by the possibility of a movie, but says it is unlikely:

"I'd like to make a film if we could be filming in Hawaii or Spain or somewhere, that would be nice, but I don't think we'll ever do a film because everything was all done in the telly series.

"I'd quite like to do a musical - that would be quite fun if we could do it all with rock songs; although my singing is not that wonderful, so I'd probably have to speak-sing my bit."

The actress also spoke highly of her co-star James Corden, who played Smithy in the show, who became a father back in March:

"I've seen photos [of Corden's son] but I haven't seen him in real life. He just looks adorable and James is going to be an absolutely perfect father.

"When we were doing the third series he was just amazing with the little baby we had and he just looked like he was made to do it.

"I'm the sort of person who can never think of anything to say to a baby, but he just looks like a natural."

Joanna is set to star alongside Sue Johnston in new Sky One comedy, Gates, this autumn.
