A GAVIN and Stacey star looked totally unrecognisable as he reunited with the famous cast just days ahead of the Christmas special.
Oscar Hartland, 15, famed for his role as Neil the Baby, looked worlds away from his younger self as he walked the red carpet at an exclusive preview event of the show’s upcoming final episode.

After time out of the spotlight, Oscar then managed to bag the role for 2019’s Christmas special and is now returning for the final ever time.
However, fans would be forgiven for failing to recognise him as he looked worlds apart from his last stint in the hit comedy at the recent launch event.
Oscar donned a casual look for the event pairing a plain white T-shirt with a red cardigan featuring white star detailing.
He kept his look simple with a pair of light blue jeans which also featured stars printed on them.
Oscar was reunited with all the cast at the very special event including his on-screen parents, Ruth Jones and James Corden.
Alison Steadman, Larry Lamb, Joanna Page and Melanie Walters were all also in attendance as they geared up for the hotly-anticipated episode’s airing.
Oscar’s return to the show was unveiled earlier this year when he was snapped on set in Wales filming alongside his on-screen father James.
Prior to that, he had sparked rumours he would be axed from the show after confessing that the phone “hadn’t rung” for his return when the show was formally confirmed in May of this year.
The 2019 Christmas special, which ended on the cliffhanger of Nessa proposing to Smithy, was the most-watched TV comedy show since Only Fools and Horses in 2002.
Fans will be hoping to find out just what was said after the bombshell moment in the new programme.
Gavin and Stacey: The Finale airs on Christmas Day on BBC One and BBC iPlayer at 9pm.
