James Corden is back together with his Gavin & Stacey co-star Sheridan Smith, say reports.

The comedian was spotted departing The Ivy restaurant with his ex-lover earlier this week.

According to Now magazine, the pair shared a “romantic meal”.

Smith, who plays Ruth “Rudi” Smith in the BBC Three sitcom, met Corden on the set of ITV’s Fat Friends in 2002.

Corden has been romantically linked to Lily Allen and TV presenter Sarah Cawood during his split from the actress.
