No – Smithy didn't say yes to Nessa. In fact, he didn't say anything at all… Instead, Smithy agreed to marry Sonia – that's right, his girlfriend (now fiancée) who was last seen in the 2019 Christmas special, played by Laura Aikman.

Gavin & Stacey viewers have noticed a glaring continuity error in the Christmas Special finale. The show returned for a final time on Christmas Day this year, with the much-anticipated episode finally answering the fate of Nessa and Smithy’s relationship, picking up from 2019’s cliffhanger that saw Nessa get down on one knee.

The actor who played Smithy's fiancée in the last ever episode of Gavin and Stacey has apologised after having to play the role of the villain.
