The fourth instalment in the acclaimed franchise is based on the book of the same name by Helen Fielding.
It follows Bridget as she battles motherhood alone following the tragic death of husband Mark, who was played in the previous films by Colin Firth.
The much loved character enjoys a fling with a hunky toyboy named Rockstar, who is played by One Day star Leo Woodall, 27, after the pair meet on social media.
As well as her love affair with Rockstar, the lovable diarist will also explore a romantic connection with her son’s PE teacher Mr Walker, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, while also reviving her on-off relationship with Hugh Grant’s Daniel.
Fans went wild for the poster as they wrote: ‘I’m too excited for this’; ‘Can’t wait’; ‘I just can’t wait’;
‘i fear for the emotions coming’; ‘Yaaaay, I can’t wait it’s going to be amazing’; ‘Looking forward to the Firthweger, even it will be not much, lol’.
Radio Times added: ‘The perfect Valentine’s Day watch’.
Despite Mark being killed off, The Mail on Sunday previously revealed Colin will still be making an appearance in the film.

In the book series after Mark marries Bridget, he sadly later dies while working abroad as a human rights lawyer, leaving her a widow.
After Colin’s name was absent from the cast list, fans feared his character would not appear at all in the fourth film.
However, in exclusive photographs from the set taken last month, Renee is seen lovingly interacting The King’s Speech star.
It was revealed that Colin’s return was meant to be a huge surprise, with film bosses desperate to keep it under wraps.
A source said: ‘Colin was always going to appear in the movie but it was supposed to be a secret.’
In the last movie, Bridget Jones’s Baby in 2016, Bridget is seen attending the memorial of her other on-off love Daniel, played by Hugh who is presumed dead after a plane crash, but is later found alive.
Fans will have to be patient to find out whether Mark will be so lucky, or is simply appearing in a dream sequence.
