A former student at Haberdashers’ Girls’ School stunned 19.2 million viewers when she returned to play the role of Sonia in the finale of Gavin & Stacey.
Laura Aikman surprised even her own family when she appeared on screens on Christmas Day. She returned as Smithy’s fiancée, who was left at the altar in the final minutes of the popular show.
Laura didn’t even tell her own parents that she would be reprising her role in the hit comedy.
In a post on the BBC iPlayer Instagram account filmed during the show’s production, Laura said: “There was talk of wearing a disguise to work, which hasn’t materialised. I’m staying in a different hotel to everyone. I don’t want to go home or talk to anyone outside of work because I’m so scared I’m going to mess it up.”
In a post on Instagram, Haberdashers’ Elstree Schools Foundation said: “Well done Laura on an iconic role in the UK’s most watched scripted show since records began in 2002!”
