In Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, audiences watched on as Bridget was a single mother of two, and learning to live life without Mark, all with a little help from her friends and the loveable rogue Daniel Cleaver. (Yes, he's alive now.)

Mad about the Boy, Mark Darcy, the man of Bridget's dreams in the first three movies of the series, is tragically killed. But why?

Colin Firth does briefly appear in the new Bridget Jones movie, but only in the form of a memory when Bridget is missing her late husband. Instead, Bridget spends time with her former lover and now platonic friend, Daniel (Hugh Grant), and two new potential love interests played by Leo Woodall and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
