Ed Sheeran has been filming scenes for the third Bridget Jones film – and he loves it.

The flame-haired hitmaker posted a picture of himself taking a selfie with the star of the show Renee Zellweger.

Renee can just about be seen over Ed’s shoulder in the black and white snap.

Ed confirmed he had a role in Bridget Jones’ Baby last month, but admitted he was in the dark about his part.

He said at the time: “Strangely enough, I was doing a fight sequence in a TV show called The B*stard Executioner. The bloke who was my stunt double told me he’s going to be my stunt double for Bridget Jones.

“I’ve got no idea what they’ve got me doing but it’s something that needs a stunt double.”

Meanwhile, Renee has been seen sporting a large prosthetic bump as she filmed scenes for the eagerly anticipated film.

She reprises the role of Bridget in the third instalment of the franchise, 14 years after the first was released.

Colin Firth will also return as Mark Darcy, who Bridget became engaged to at the end of the second film, Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason.

US actor Patrick Dempsey confirmed his involvement in the film with an Instagram shot in September, and he is rumoured to play a new love interest.

He wrote: “Nice to be working in England. Renee and Colin are an absolute joy to work with! A good couple of days rehearsing at Pinewood Studios. I really like it here!”
