Love Actually cast to reunite for Red Nose Day!

It could well be the best news we've had so far this year! Fourteen years after its release, Hugh Grant, Keira Knightley, Liam Neeson and Bill Nighy have reunited for a Love Actually sequel in aid of Comic Relief - and we are JUMPing for joy!

The cast of Love Actually, including Hugh Grant and Keira Knightley, are set to reunite for a Red Nose Day special!

Filming has begun on the 10-minute movie, which will catch up with the characters 14 years on from when their paths crossed in the much-loved romantic comedy!

Colin Firth, Rowan Atkinson, Martine McCutcheon, and Marcus Brigstocke are also among the line-up set to reprise their roles.

Written by the original 2003 film's creator Richard Curtis, the finished sketch will be broadcast during BBC One's live Red Nose Day 2017 programme on March 24.

An experienced writer of Comic Relief specials, Curtis said it would be a "nostalgic moment" for the old cast, but admitted that he was most interested to see who had aged the most gracefully.

"I guess that's the big question...or is it so obviously Liam?" he said.

"I would never have dreamt of writing a sequel to Love Actually, but I thought it might be fun to do 10 minutes to see what everyone is now up to.

"We hope to make something that'll be fun - very much in the spirit of the original film and of Red Nose Day - and which we hope will help bring lots of viewers and cash to the Red Nose Day shows."
