Alison Steadman OBE is an English actor, best known for starring in The Singing Detective, ITV's Fat Friends, Pride and Prejudice and of course, Gavin & Stacey.

In Gavin & Stacey, Steadman played Pam Shipman – the ditsy, cheerful and overprotective mother of Gavin. She appeared in every episode of the series, including the 2008 and 2019 Christmas specials.

Steadman recently told Radio Times that she would love to be involved in any future episodes of the hit sitcom after the 2019 Christmas special amassed 17 million viewers in total.

Addressing rumours of another special, she said: "I don't take any notice of rumours, but there's no way I wouldn't do it. I'd run to Cardiff to be involved."
