Bridget Jones actress willing to feature in sequel

Shirley Henderson says she would be willing to appear in the planned sequel to Bridget Jones's Diary.

Henderson played Bridget's friend Jude in the film, although the part in the film was greatly reduced from the book.

Work on the script to the sequel is currently underway.

"I've not heard anything about the Bridget Jones sequel," Henderson said.

"But I'd be willing to do it if they asked me. It depends if they're doing it as the book.

"I think I preferred The Edge Of Reason, it depends on what they want to show."
