Gavin and Stacey star James Corden has confirmed he's now back together with girlfriend Sheridan Smith. James split from the Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps actress early last year but since then their relationship has been on and off. James told the Daily Mirror: "Yes, Sheridan and I are back together and it's going brilliantly. She is the love of my life and I couldn't be happier." The 30-year-old actor has reportedly told friends that Sheridan - who also appeared in episodes of Gavin and Stacey - is his soul mate and apparently confided: "I want to marry my girl." A source said: "They are definitely going to make it this time. They got back together just before Christmas and it is all official. They are completely loved up." James recently treated Sheridan to a romantic night at the five-star Claridges hotel in London's Mayfair to show her just how much she means to him. And Sheridan is said to be planning to buy James a basset hound as a getting back together present. Get exclusive access to your favourite stars. Subscribe to TV Times magazine
