New Bridget Jones's Baby book confirmed
A fourth Bridget Jones novel will be published in October, it has been announced.
Publisher Jonathan Cape confirmed today that Bridget Jones's Baby: The Diaries will be available to buy from Tuesday 11th October.
The new book will tie in with the hotly-anticipated third film in the Bridget Jones franchise. Bridget Jones's Baby will be released in cinemas on Friday 16th September.
Based on the author's original columns from The Independent newspaper, in which the character of Bridget Jones was created, it will chart Bridget's biological clock and eventual pregnancy "full of cheesy potatoes, outlandish advice from Drunken Singletons and Smug Mothers, high jinks and romance - but all of it dominated by the terribly awkward question - 'Who's the Father?'"
Fielding says: "At heart Bridget Jones is about the gap between how we all feel we're expected to be and how we actually are and - as Bridget discovers with her somewhat bumpy pregnancy - how we expect life to turn out and how it actually does. I'm excited to see Bridget's world on the big screen again, and delighted to be published by Jonathan Cape."
Jonathan Cape managing director Richard Cable said: "We couldn't be more thrilled to be able to announce that a new Bridget Jones adventure will shortly enter the world. For her millions of fans, Bridget is family and we look forward to welcoming Baby Jones into the fold."

As Bridget careers towards baby-deadline, tortured by Smug Mothers miming her ticking biological clock, a series of classic Bridget Jones moments finally leads her into pregnancy - but just not quite as intended.
It's a pregnancy full of cheesy potatoes, outlandish advice from Drunken Singletons and Smug Mothers, chaos at scans and childbirth classes, high jinks and romance, joy and despair - but all of it dominated by the terribly awkward question - 'Who's the Father?'
