Isla, who has three children with her ex, was seen filming in London opposite Renée Zellweger.

She will play a single mother who bonds with Renée’s Bridget in the movie, titled Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy, which is due out on Valentine’s Day next year.

Insiders said Isla, 48, will play a friend of Bridget’s, played by Renee Zellweger in About A Boy.

A source said: “Isla’s real life is inspiring her new role in the Bridget Jones film.

“She plays a single mother who befriended Bridget at the school gates.

“Isla loves Bridget Jones and is thrilled that she landed the part.

“Her own experience will help her in the role and it’s great she’s landed such a big part after a really tough time.

“Isla will start filming this week with Renee and other cast members.”

Renee, 55, has reprised her role as loveable Bridget for the fourth film in the series, which has been created from Helen Fielding’s books.

Hugh Grant is also returning as Daniel Cleaver and Bridget will be seen locked in a love triangle with him and two other suitors.
