We know her best as the bubbly Welsh half of the titular couple in Gavin & Stacey, but in recent years, Joanna Page has been away from the spotlight. The reason, the star has explained, is that she wanted to spend more time with the four children she shares with her husband, former Emmerdale actor James Thornton, 47. Now, two years after welcoming her daughter, Boe, at the age of 44, she's ready to step back into the world of work - and has bagged what she calls her 'dream job'.
The star, now 46, has appeared in a series of short films for This Morning exploring the UK's most famous TV and film destinations. And the current staff of the ITV show might want to watch out, as Joanna is keen to stay a part of the family.
Working on This Morning is a dream job,' she admits. As a mother of four, it's always on in the kitchen because it's company, which must sound sad, but all mothers can identify with that. I've grown up with it, so then to be invited into the family, it's the dream. With acting, I'm going to carry on dipping in and doing what I fancy.'
