We’ve just won a BAFTA so I think they’re going to want us to stay on air.”
The cast of the show has made no secret about their close bond and clearly enjoy filming together. In an interview with The Guardian earlier this year, Jay said: “We spend nine months a year filming, all staying in the same hotel and having meals together, so we’ve become like a family.”

“If they’ll have me, you might see me grow very old in that barn. I already shave my head but my eyebrows might go grey.”
