GAVIN and Stacey fans have long since wondered what REALLY happened on Uncle Bryn and his nephew Jason's fishing trip.
The story has been teased ever since the first series, but it has never actually been revealed what happened.
What happened on the fishing trip?
Many Gavin and Stacey fans were still left wondering what on earth happened on Uncle Bryn's (Rob Brydon) fishing trip with his nephew Jason (Robert Wilfort).
It was brought up again in the 2019 Christmas special, but was still not explained.
We know that what ever happened between Bryn and Jason happened because they "were very cold", and that it was "legal in Wales", and somehow involved "soup".

With only snippets of information to go, fans have cone up with their own theories of what happened on the now famous fishing trip.
Things got heated
From what we know happened, it is suggested it was highly embarrassing, hence the need for secrecy.
It could also be potentially sexual due to the taboo way it’s talked about.
That could lead many people to believe that Jason and Bryn had some sort of sexual contact in order to keep warm.
However, this fan theory can be easily squashed, due to the fact Bryn also states at one point that what happened is "legal in Wales".
As the pair are nephew and uncle, any sexual relationship they would’ve had would’ve been illegal.
They fell into the river
As we know, what happened, happened, because they "were very cold".
One fan tweeted: "More than likely, Bryn and Jason went out fishing. Jason fell in and Bryn jumped in after him.
"After pulling him put, Bryn knew that getting warm was essential and, being Bryn, didn't think before he got them both stripped to get out of their soaking wet clothes and to cuddle to get warm.
"Upon realising, after a while, that they were two men, not to mention uncle and nephew, and both gay, they both have a sickening feeling of guilt about the situation."

They went to a hotel
It suggested that the duo had been intent on camping out during their fishing trip, but it soon became too cold to remain in their tents.
Instead, they checked into a hotel - and the proprietor, worried about their exposure to the rain and winds, made up a special vat of leek and potato soup for the pair to enjoy in their rooms.
While Jason was in the bathroom, Bryn made use of the television set in their room to find an “adult program".
He settled back in the bed to watch the admittedly frisky show, resting the mug of soup on his stomach to keep himself warm.
However, when Jason came in, Bryn jumped, spilling the soup all over his trousers - and even causing some to splash upwards onto the ceiling.
With the adult program still playing in the background, things obviously looked a little confusing to Jaso.
The entire situation remained awkward between the pair of them forever more.
What is said about the fishing trip on Gavin and Stacey?
The mystery was never solved during Gavin and Stacey's original run.
Just as Uncle Bryn was finally about to tell his friends and family what actually happened during the Christmas Special, he was interrupted by the children.
But it turns out show writers Ruth Jones and James Corden had originally planned to explain the fishing trip mystery way back in series two, before changing their minds.
Lisa Edwards - who owned the house the show used as Bryn's home - previously revealed how she still has a script of a never-aired episode.
The script had been left in their home on Trinity Street in Barry and promised to solve the show's biggest mystery.
Speaking to Wales Online, Lisa said: "We have a script for an episode which was never aired.
"It was supposed to be Uncle Bryn and his nephew watching this VHS.
"They both watch it together to see what happened on the fishing trip. But they decided to not show the episode."
Unfortunately the script didn't even reveal what happened on the fishing trip, and as the episode never aired, fans remain in the dark after all these years.
The mystery began in series one at Gavin and Stacey's wedding reception with Jason attempting to clear the air with Bryn outside the venue.
He said: "I never told anyone, you know. And besides, it wasn’t a big deal. Lots of people do it, it’s not against the law.”
