There\u2019s only one name that should come to mind when you hear the phrases \u2018singleton\u2019, \u2018big knickers\u2019 and \u201930-something\u2019 \u2013 and that\u2019s Bridget Jones<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There are few women in the UK who haven\u2019t heard of Bridget Jones. The ultimate cultural reference for a disastrous 30-something, she\u2019s a relatable gal who\u2019s just doing her best (although you could argue that having a successful career in media and owning your own flat in Central London doesn\u2019t sound too<\/em> bad).<\/p>\n

The character of Bridget was created by author and journalist Helen Fielding, and was famously brought to life through four books and three movies chronicling everything from love triangles to career changes to prison stints.<\/p>\n

Now Bridget is set to return to our screens once more, 24 years after the iconic first movie Bridget Jones\u2019s Diary was released, with the new Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy movie.<\/p>\n

Starring Ren\u00e9e Zellweger and Hugh Grant in their classic roles, alongside brand new stars, the announcement of the new film has certainly got people talking.<\/p>\n
