BBC Gavin and Stacey star shares fishing trip 'cut' footage truth after first glimpse at what happened

Gavin and Stacey star Rob Wilfort has shared some additional secrets about the infamous fishing trip that has remained a running joke throughout the 17-years of the beloved sitcom.

A week after the last-ever episode aired, the one-off documentary Gavin and Stacey: A Fond Farewell delighted fans with a surprise reveal of never-before-seen footage featuring Uncle Bryn and Jason West on their fishing trip.

Prior to the airing of Christmas special, Gavin and Stacey: The Finale, the BBC hinted that fans might finally get an answer to what happened on the elusive fishing trip. And as viewers were about to, before Bryn was interrupted and we were left hanging yet again.

Comedian Rob Bryden, who plays Bryn, previously said: "I'd like to say now and forever, the joke has always been you don't find out what happens on the fishing trip. I'm sorry everybody, but that has always been the joke and it always will be because it's funny. It's funnier that way. And I was so pleased that we didn't reveal it - because we've never known what it is."

But at the end of the hour-long special show which said a final emotional goodbye to Gavin and Stacey, shaky handheld camcorder-style footage, supposedly from years ago, showed Rob and Rob Wilfort, who plays Jason, dressed in period-appropriate outfits and hairstyles, embarking on their notorious fishing trip. In the clip, Bryn can be heard exclaiming: "Who do we have here?"

The scene then switches to Jason with a fish in hand. You can also hear Bryn enthusiastically proclaim: "No one will go hungry in this camp tonight." Just before the footage cuts out, we hear his final remark of: "Enjoy your soup!" The simmering soup over an open fire emerges as a pivotal detail from the fishing excursion
