Starting on BBC One Wales and iPlayer from Monday 27 January at 8:30pm, the six-part series sees old friends Wynne and Joanna sail along the beautiful Welsh coastline.
Welsh singer Wynne, who recently competed in Strictly Come Dancing , and Gavin & Stacey star Joanna, who played Stacey Shipman on the popular sitcom, set their sights on a fun-filled adventure fuelled by their shared passions of the sea, food, and music.
Accompanying Joanna and skipper Wayne is Wynne’s dog Ginny on the adventure which takes them roughly 200 miles by boat from Cardiff to Pembrokeshire.
The trips sees them stopping off at some special places along the way, including Penarth, where they join a rowing club; Barry Island, which plays an important part in Joanna’s life as the setting for Gavin & Stacey; Joanna’s hometown of Swansea and the Gower, and Wynne’s home county of Carmarthenshire.
Speaking about the new show Mumbles born Joanna said:
“To be honest it was quite life changing filming the series, it was brilliant having such freedom, getting to go off on a boat with a really good friend of mine and just be free.
“I had no responsibilities other than not crashing Wayne’s boat, but it was a chance to sort of go back to the old me and rediscover myself again.
“I was learning new things to do with the boat, and then all of the water sports we did – the surfing and kayaking and paddle boarding, it was all things I’d never thought about doing before.
“It was great getting back to what life’s all about – having fun! It was brilliant fun and I don’t think I’ve laughed that such in a long time.”
Masterchef winner and Radio star Wynne added:
“The series was the best fun I’ve ever had filming a TV series! We just got on from the start as we always have, and we laughed our way through the entire series. It was brilliant fun.
“Because we got to spend proper quality time together, it was so lovely! It was also exactly the same when the cameras were turned off, as it was with the cameras on.
“We went and had dinner together every single night. It was just such good fun to reconnect and chat absolute rubbish with each other!
“We just take the mickey out of each other from morning until night and I think laughter is the secret of the friendship. Really, we laugh all the time – nobody makes me laugh like Jo does.”
