Ruth Jones as Nessa in Gavin & Stacey / BBC
Gavin & Stacey star Ruth Jones has denied reports that she is part of the cast for the second series of The Celebrity Traitors.
Filming on the next run of the hugely-popular reality series is about to get underway in Scotland – and actress Jones, 59, was heavily rumoured to be in the lineup.
In quotes reported by the Daily Mail, she said: “I want to address this. I was asked about doing it. I do love the show and did think: ‘Wouldn’t it be great?’
“But then I thought: ‘Oh, gosh, I’d have to swim in a lake, put on a wetsuit.’ So I’d rather watch it. I’m not doing it.”
Other names in the frame for series two include Amanda Holden, Steve Pemberton, Alison Hammond, Jamie Oliver, Danny Dyer and Liam Gallagher.
Earlier this week the BBC announced a new deal keeping The Traitors on air until at least 2030.
