The 47-year-old confirmed that it was unlikely that  fans would be getting any more Car Share as creator and co-star Peter is on tour.

Speaking on whether Peter Kay's Car Share will be hitting screens again Sian revealed to OK!: "I don't think so.

"I mean, Peter's doing a record-breaking UK tour is very busy for the next couple of years. He's doing his amazing stand-up."

Sian’s next big TV gig is starring in BBC Two’s upcoming comedy Mammoth as Mel, a disgruntled mum to one of happy-go-lucky PE (physical education) teacher Tony Mammoth's students. 

Creator of the series Mike Bubbins will be playing the role of Tony Mammoth. 

The new show follows Tony Mammoth, a PE teacher from the seventies who dies in an avalanche on a ski school trip before being brought back to life in modern-day Cardiff and returning to his job. 

Previously Mike admitted that Peter was the person who inspired him to pursue comedy after being a PE teacher for numerous years.

He revealed: "He's genuinely the reason I started doing stand-up.

"I sat down with my sister to watch Live at the Top of the Tower with Peter Kay and we're all laughing. I thought, 'I'd love that. I'd love to do that.'

"So I thought about it for a little while and then said to my wife, 'I'd love to give comedy a go properly,' so she said, 'Well, let's get the mortgage first, let's move into the house and get the mortgage set up because you'll be struggling [when you do comedy].'"

"There’s one scene where Mammoth referees a football match from his car – that was inspired by somebody on a radio phone-in. 

“I was driving back from a gig and heard some fellow talking about his teacher, who hated football so refereed a match from the halfway line in his car."

The remaining cast of Mammouth have yet to be released.

Mammoth airs April 17 at 10pm on BBC Two.
