'OMG that’s awful, they all look deformed': Reactions to Dinas Powys Gavin and Stacey mural
The mocked mural meant to feature the much-loved characters from the hit BBC comedy was painted on the outer wall of homeowner Anya Clements house in Dinas Powys - where Pam and Mick's home doubles for Essex.
It features main characters Gavin and Stacey, as well as Gwen, Bryn, Pam, Mick, Nessa and Smithy.
But it has been derided by some passers-by - with one saying: "Gavin and Stacey?? You're 'Gavin a laugh."
Mum, Ms Clements wanted to revamp the public-facing side of her home with something fun after it had been vandalised.
However, some thought the mural was hideous and not needed. One Facebook user said: "Ow. Ow. Ow." While another said: "OMG that’s awful" and another commented: "They all look deformed."
The mural that took over 20 hours to complete.
Some people praised the artist and homeowner for their unique idea, saying: "Another amazing artwork project! Smashed the characters fair play."
Another added: "Tidy jobs, well done."
Others asked where the portraits of other beloved characters were. One person wrote: "Amazingly awesome again, but should of had Doris on it... R.I.P. Margaret John."
Corden is currently starring in play The Constituent at the Old Vic in London.
