Gavin and Stacey Xmas Special Update

Because we can't have nice things, Sheridan Smith, who played Smithy's sister, is apparently being snubbed for the Christmas Special:

Sheridan Smith has confirmed she has been left out of the Gavin & Stacey reunion by ex James Corden. She said she wanted to return as Rudi — sister of show co-creator Corden’s character Smithy — but had not heard anything.

Corden, who began a two-year relationship with Sheridan in 2007 when they first worked on the show, revealed plans for a Christmas special two weeks ago. But Sheridan, 37, was not included in the line-up of stars in the publicity shot.

Oh for fuck's sake. They got along okay after their breakup for the final season, so 10 years later it can't happen? She was only in seven episodes but she crushed it every time. There's simply no reason for this and I hope Corden fixes this.
