Gavin and Stacey star Rob Brydon has begun a new venture as a children’s author, with his debut fiction book set to be published later this year.
The Welsh actor and comedian was inspired by his family pet to write The Cat in The Cupboard – a story told entirely in rhyme, which follows Crumble the cat on his daring garden adventures.
Brydon said he had long made up stories and songs “for my own enjoyment” and was excited to share this with others.
“I’m really hoping [the book] fires the imagination of both young readers and the adults reading to them, creating opportunities for shared moments of reading pleasure,” he said.
