Hugh Grant has said he was “crammed” into the new Bridget Jones film as there was “no obvious role” for him.

The Love Actually star, 64, has reprised the role of Daniel Cleaver for the upcoming movie, adapted from Helen Fielding’s novel Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy, which sees Bridget navigate life as a single mother after the death of her husband Mark Darcy.
