There was bad news for Bridget Jones fans over the weekend as it was revealed that the next installment of the film will not feature leading character, Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant).

Although many people weren’t even sure that there was going to be another Bridget film, Hugh Grant has certainly been talking about it.

“I decided not to do it,” he told Free Radio. “But I think they’re going to go ahead and do it without Daniel. The book’s excellent, by the way, but the script is completely different – well, the script as I last saw it a few years ago.”

The film is also reported to be being made without the involvement of author, Helen Fielding, and apparently plans to tell an “alternative” version of the book Mad About The Boy.
