Here is the text-only version:
No – Smithy didn’t say yes to Nessa. In fact, he didn’t say anything at all… Instead, Smithy agreed to marry Sonia – that’s right, his girlfriend (now fiancée) who was last seen in the 2019 Christmas special, played by Laura Aikman.
This masterful twist left everyone thinking Smithy had said yes… only to pull the rug out from under us. After the 2019 special, all people would say to us was “What does he say?” They would never say, “Who did he choose?” I don’t even think it was in people’s peripheral. She stayed in different hotels, she was going into places in the dead of night. She hasn’t even told her mum and dad, she hasn’t even told them she’s in it.
“I called Ruth and was like, ‘I wonder if we could trick everybody into thinking that, for the first six or seven minutes, that they’re just going to watch a wedding that’s between Nessa and Smithy’,” said co-creator, James Corden.
A big part in fooling the nation was when Smithy appearing in his wedding suit… After the initial shock, they just look great together. You can really see why they’re attracted to each other.
Of course he married Nessa in the end. After ditching Sonia at the altar, Smithy runs off to find Nessa, but she’s already decided to go back on the ships to help deal with her broken heart. Nessa is at Southampton docks about to leave, so Smithy and the rest of the gang bundle into Dave’s coach and ride like the wind. Thankfully, he makes it there just in time, as Nessa is boarding her ship, and Smithy gets down on one knee and proposes to her. Of course, she (eventually) says yes.
A perfect contrast to Smithy’s ill-fated wedding with Sonia, the episode ends with Smithy and Nessa’s reception at a local pub.
