In a chat with Woman and Home magazine, she admitted she and husband James spiced up their sex life in a hotel on a trip to watch an episode of Strictly Come Dancing being filmed.
Joanna said: “We made the most of our evening and didn’t do a lot of sleeping, I will say that.”
In September, Joanna opened up about her emotional state while she and her co-stars filmed the last ever instalment of Gavin And Stacey.
Speaking to EastEnders‘ star Natalie Cassidy on their podcast Off the Telly, Joanna admitted that returning to Barry one last time for the Christmas Special was so moving she just couldn’t stop crying.
The actor said playing her character Stacey Shipman and returning to her and Gavin’s (Mathew Horne) iconic TV homes for the last time brought back so many memories, as it was like returning home from college for holidays.
“The last ever time on Trinity Street, I was crying,” Joanna revealed, admitting the emotion of filming the final scenes for the Christmas Special completely overwhelmed her.
“And the last ever, ever time in Stacey’s house that she grew up in. In Stacey’s house, in Gwen’s house the last ever, ever time,” she added.
Joanna explained that she was hit with a wave of emotion when she entered the West family home for the final time as she pictured all the scenes that had ever been filmed in that living room.
Once filming ended, the cast stepped back out onto Trinity Street one final time, where they were met by crowds of fans.
While addressing the cast, crew, and fans who were gathered in Barry for the final day of filming, co-writer and star Ruth Jones promised that viewers “won’t be disappointed” by the sitcom’s final ever instalment.
