The BBC has unveiled the first trailer for a special Christmas episode of hit sitcom Gavin and Stacey, which returns to screens on 25 December.

So it’s surprising to discover quite how normal she is: chatty, self-deprecating, not very vampish. It’s easy to see traces of Heather Sweet, the “super shy” girl from small-town Michigan who transformed into Von Teese. The reason for our conversation is a new film, Night of the Teese, made with director Quinn Wils...
