James Corden ‘diva’ rumours addressed by Gavin and Stacey co-star in five-word response

Gavin and Stacey: The Finale

Joanna Page, who plays Stacey West in Gavin and Stacey, has worked with James Corden since the BBC series first launched in 2007, before the writer and actor rocketed to fame in the US while fronting The Late Late Show, from 2015 until 2023.

However, the Love Actually actress has insisted in a new interview that James hasn’t changed at all, despite “becoming massively famous”.

Responding to allegations of “diva behaviour” aimed at the Smithy star in recent years, Joanna simply stated “he’s still the same person”.

Speaking to The Sun’s Fabulous Magazine ahead of Gavin and Stacey’s highly anticipated return to our screens on Christmas Day, Joanna shared: “James has become massively famous. But he’s still the same person. He’s just James.

“When we started, I was only 29 and now I’m 47. All of us have got married and had children. So many things have happened, but when we got together it was like going back to the first series.”

Glamour Women Of The Year Awards 2008 - InsideIt comes after James issued an apology for his conduct during an episode of The Late Late Show in 2022, when it emerged that the TV host was banned from New York City restaurant Balthazar over his alleged treatment of the staff.

The drama began when James’ wife Julia ordered an off-the-menu omelette consisting of only yolk, as she is “severely allergic” to egg whites.

However, the British star admitted he became irritated and “made a sarcastic, rude comment about cooking it myself” after the dish arrived to the couple’s table containing whites multiple times.

“My wife explained that she has a serious food allergy,” James told viewers on his CBS show in October 2022.The Fashion Awards 2024 Presented by Pandora - Roaming Arrivals
