It was the highly awaited sequel to the iconic festive flick 13 years after it first hit cinema screens.

And Love Actually's Red Nose Day TV special didn't fail to entertain as viewers got to delve into the worlds of their beloved characters once more on Friday night as audiences caught up with Mark, Jamie and Daniel again.

Setting the tone, the short clip began with Juliet (Keira Knightly) on the sofa with her husband Peter (Chiwetel Ejiofor) when Mark (Andrew Lincoln) suddenly arrived at their front door equipped with cue cards again.

Starting off on the right foot, fans rejoiced as they saw Colin Firth's character Jamie happily married to Portuguese love Aurelia (Lucia Moniz) following his public proposal 13 years ago, while still sporting his signature turtle necks.

Viewers were filled with glee as he was revealed to be the proud father of three bi-lingual children with a fourth on the way.

Despite cinematic revellers remembering his character valiantly learning his other half's native tongue, Jamie's Portuguese still isn't quite up to scratch as he hilariously responded to Aurelia touching reveal about their new arrival.

Colin Firth played the hapless Jamie in “Love Actually” in 2003. He won over his Portuguese housekeeper Aurelia (Lucia Moniz) and the rest of us with his winsome ways. The two actors have reunited to take part in a 10-minute film that will air as part of Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day specials in both the UK (March 24) and the US (May 25). Writer/director Richard Curtis, who is heavily involved in this good cause, has crafted an update.

His partner Emma Freud, who is producing this special, is keeping us updated on the filming via Twitter. She sent out the photo above, that has Firth once again in the driver seat but this time Moniz doesn’t look as nervous.

First to arrive on the set several weeks ago was Liam Neeson who played stepfather to a boy (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) trying to come to loss with the death of his mother. Back then, he counseled the teen to try win over a visiting American girl with music. Jump ahead to today, and that little girl with the big voice who belted out Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” is now all grown up.

Keira Knightley was pictured filming Love Actually's Comic Relief for the first time on Wednesday with Chiwetel Ejiofor, [Peter] and Andrew Lincoln, [Mark].

The 31-year-old movie star, who plays Juliet, was pictured filming with her onscreen husband AND his best friend, leading viewers to wonder how their story has developed.

Standing on a London doorstep, Keira wore a cream jumper with the word: 'LOVE' emblazoned on the front as she looked as youthful as ever and Theory scarf print wide trousers.

Andrew Lincoln could be seen nearby during filming, wearing an oversized jacket by John Varvatos and sporting longer curly hair than before, while director Richard Curtis hovers close to him.

The sighting follows Richard Curtis's words during a recent interview with Susanna Reid on Good Morning Britain last week.

He said: 'Someone's died, someone's got lots of kids, someone's been voted out of office and voted back into office.'

The iconic film was shot more than 13 years ago and almost all the stars are reuniting for a one-off Comic Relief sketch.

Colin Firth, who plays Jamie, was spotted on the set of the eagerly awaited Love Actually sequel at the BBC Langham Place Piazza in central London on Saturday.

The Oscar winner beamed as he reprised his character Jamie, the English would-be novelist who fell in love with Aurelia, his Portuguese housekeeper.

The Bridget Jones's Diary actor wore a comfortable grey knitted jumper and donned a pair of thick-framed spectacles as he rehearsed his lines and waved to the waiting photographers.

In the original film, Jamie is heartbroken after catching his girlfriend in bed with another man.
He moves to France to recover from the betrayal and write his novel. It is here that he meets Aurelia, played by Lucia Moniz, his Portuguese housekeeper.

Despite the fact that Aurelia cannot speak English and Jamie cannot speak Portuguese, he falls in love with her and the film follows their tentative romance.

Emma Thompson says she won't be participating in the upcoming Love Actually sequel because it's "too soon" after her co-star Alan Rickman's 2016 death.

The 57-year-old actress played Rickman's wife in the 2003 movie, which also starred Hugh Grant, Bill Nighy, Keira Knightley, Liam Neeson and Colin Firth.
