'I'm really bad at telling jokes,' says Ruth Jones

Despite being the co-writer of one of the most popular comedies of our time, Ruth Jones insists she is "really bad at telling jokes".

"Some people describe me as a comedian, but I'm not a comedian, not at all," the Gavin & Stacey star said.

She was speaking alongside close friend, actor and comedian Steve Speirs about their new show Ruth and Steve: From Merthyr with Love.

The show, which airs on BBC One Wales at 21:00 BST on Friday, sees Speirs show Jones around his hometown of Merthyr Tydfil.
