The couple and Newlyweds podcast hosts put their acting skills to the test as they treated their listeners to a new Instagram reel to sign off for the year.
The duo created none other than the final scene in which Bridget (Renée Zellweger) is forced to put on her ‘little panties’ and run half-naked through the snowy streets of London in an attempt to stop Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) from escaping. go away.
It comes after Mark finds her infamous diary in her flat, which is full of insults towards him, and when Bridget returns to the room she discovers it has disappeared.
Assuming her new lover had run away in a rage, she sprinted out with nothing on her lower body but her leopard print underwear – only to discover that he had actually just gone to buy her a new diary.
Of course, Jamie hilariously took on the role of Bridget for the video, with Sophie pretending to be Mark Darcy – and they added their own cheeky twist.
