Love it or loathe it, Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps had a mighty fanbase by the time it finished up in 2011.

The BBC comedy following five twenty-somethings in Runcorn was one of the most popular shows on the channel during its 10-year reign.

Viewers have even been demanding a comeback of the hit series - but the plans have been scuppered so far by one cast member.

A host of familiar faces played the main characters, a group of pals who were forging their way in life and all the drama that comes with it, with a particular focus on their local pub.

Sheridan Smith, Will Mellor and Ralf Little all cut their teeth on the programme during the early days of their career.

Across nine explosive series there were fights, cheating, the tear-jerking death of one of the main characters and even a ground-breaking episode where viewers got to decide what happened next, reports the Mirror.

But it's a reunification the fans really want - and could be set to miss out on.

Will Mellor, who played typical lad Gaz, revealed that he had not spoken to Sheridan for a number of years because she wouldn't answer his calls.

Across the nine series, Will's character was madly in love with Donna but the pair split when he had a one night stand with her best pal Janet, played by Sheridan.

They got back together after a road accident and finally got married, but on their wedding day Gaz discovered he was the father of Janet's son.

Donna left so Gaz and Janet could be together, but then returned in series 8, with viewers voting for Gaz to choose Donna, so Sheridan's character moved away to Milton Keynes.

But in recent years all the drama has been off-screen as Will has been unable to get hold of his former co-star.
