Bridget is officially back, with Renée Zellweger spotted on the set of the fourth film, Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy, earlier this week.

News that the beloved character is returning to the big screen has excited fans as they anticipate the release of the movie nearly ten years after its prequel, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, came out.

The newest release, which will reportedly be based on Helen Fielding's 2013 novel of the same name, will also see Hugh Grant return as his love rat character Daniel Cleaver - despite his death being falsified in the last movie.

The movie is set to follow Bridget as she navigates the death of Mark Darcy - played by Colin Firth - as a single mother of two.

The first film, Bridget Jones's Diary, came out in 2001 and grossed £222 million at the box office – more than ten times what it cost to make.

It remains one of the most successful British rom-coms, with much of the shooting taking place in central London.

Here, MailOnline delves into all the iconic locations that were used for filming across the three films, including the bachelorette's expensive flat in London Bridge.

Bridget's small upstairs flat, which sits atop a Borough Market pub, features heavily in the film series, and its disorganised set up, with magazines and books lying open and empty glasses left on the floor, reflects the chaotic life of the character.

It is the flat where she most notably makes blue soup, spends days in with Cleaver, and where Darcy turns up at her door to declare his love for the first time.

The one-bedroom flat situated near Borough Market, is now worth nearly £1million.

In the movies, the flat is characterised by its patterned rugs, large bookshelves, framed photos and huge lampstands.

Globe Tavern, Borough Market  

The singleton's flat is located just above this Victorian pub which dates back to the late 1800s.

Hidden under the arches of London Bridge, the pub's exterior was used for several shots in the movies.

The famous fight scene that takes place between Darcy and Cleaver in the first movie is shot near the pub at the Bedales of Borough wine shop which was masqueraded as a Greek restaurant.

The comedic scuffle from the 2001 movie saw Darcy and Daniel Cleaver roll around on the floor. According to director Sharon Maguire the fight was not choreographed because 'middle-class men' just 'don't have a clue' about fighting

Both Hugh Grant and Colin Firth rejected a stunt coordinator to choreograph the fight because they didn't think their characters would know any fighting moves
