Leila Fazard was seen on the set of Bridget Jones 4 in London on Friday, following her headline making 2023 'affair' with BBC co-star Andrew Buchan. 

The actress, 42, cut a sombre figure as she was spotted filming outdoor scenes with lead Renée Zellweger who's returning to the role of the beloved journalist for the fourth installment, Mad About The Boy.

Leila, who's character in the movie is yet to be revealed, cut a chic figure in a long woollen coat which she layered over a stylish ensemble and teamed with a pricey Loewe bag. 

Meanwhile Renée, 55, wrapped up in a padded jacket that was teamed with a plaid skirt and colourful trainers. 

Isla Fisher is also starring in the hotly-anticipated movie, alongside Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson and Leo Woodall, 27, as Bridget's toy boy lover. 

Leila and her Better co-star Andrew's reported relationship became public in February last year after he reportledy left his left his wife Amy Nuttall the previous December. 

But then weeks later, Leila allegedly returned to her husband James Maizels, while Andrew went back to his family, with The Sun reporting that Andrew told a friend: 'We're healing.'

In July, it was claimed that Amy had set her husband seven strict rules to follow after their reunion in order to rekindle their relationship.

The seven rules included having full access to one another's phones and having a date night once a week and going on a couple's holiday every seven months.

In the new film, Bridget enjoys a fling with Rockstar and PE teacher Mr Walker, as played by 12 Years A Slave actor Chiwetel Ejiofor as well as reviving her on-off relationship with Hugh Grant's Daniel Cleaver.

Chiwetel, 46, was seen shooting scenes last week which means only Hugh and Colin Firth – who has a small role in the movie as the late Mark Darcy – are yet to be spotted in character.

Renee and Leo were spotted filming together on May 18 in hilarious scenes as Bridget got stuck up a tree in Hampstead Heath.

Rockstar, who works as a park warden, seemingly comes to her rescue dressed in an all green uniform.

One onlooker said: 'Leo and Renee looked like they were having a great time. There were lots of giggles, they seemed to get on really well.'

Renee has been busy since she arrived in London two weeks ago to reprise her role as the singleton for the fourth, and probably final, time.

She spent four days filming at ITV's studios in White City, West London, where programmes such as This Morning and Loose Women are made. 

There she met presenters from both shows, including Cat Deeley who was said to have been 'super excited' at seeing her.

Many studio staff were 'overcome with excitement' and desperate to get selfies with the Hollywood star when they realised that the movie was being filmed at their workplace.

Scenes were recorded on the set used by Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly for their now defunct show Saturday Night Takeaway, while audience members from Loose Women were also asked to stay for filming of some scenes.

One source at ITV said: 'It was chaos, imagine having Bridget come to your work. It was literally a dream come true. The place was absolutely buzzing. Word got round so fast, Cat was so excited.'

Bridget's creator Helen Fielding has also been spotted at the filming as she prepares to say goodbye to the much-loved character. The film is due out on Valentine's Day next year.
