Lily James and Josh Dylan perform for Mamma Mia 2 filming

She was pictured frolicking with onscreen love interest Jeremy Irvine while filming scenes for Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again! on Tuesday.

But Lily James, 28, turned her amorous attentions to another man a day later, throwing some shapes as she cosied up to co-star Josh Dylan on a boat in Croatia.

The British beauty, who plays a younger version of Meryl Streep’s central character Donna Sheridan, put on a playful display with Josh, who plays lover Bill Anderson – a role originally filled by Stellan Skarsgard.

The brunette beauty got into the bohemian spirit of the hotly-tipped prequel – which is set in the Seventies – with her whimsical outfit.

She flashed her toned legs in frayed denim shorts and added a billowing peasant blouse to the ensemble, which featured an embroidered bodice.

Shielding her eyes from the sun with some tortoiseshell shades, the Downtown Abbey star wore her dark hair in loose waves a la Meryl.

She appeared to be having a whale of a time as she frolicked on the yacht on the Croatian island of Vis, while Josh watched on lovingly.

The pair later cosied up during a dance routine, leaning in to each other during a playful moment during filming.

Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again! ‘goes back and forth in time to show how relationships forged in the past resonate in the present,’ according to Deadline.

Seasoned actors Pierce, 64, and Meryl, 68, are expected to reprise their roles in the sequel, and pick up where viewers left off. 

The original movie was set on a Greek island where young bride-to-be Sophie, played by Amanda Seyfried, discovers that any one of three men – Bill (Stellan Skarsgard), Sam (Pierce) or Harry (Colin Firth) could be her father.
