It’s a truth universally acknowledged that Bridget Jones is one of the most relatable fictional characters, well, ever. For better or for worse, Helen Fielding’s thirty-something diarist has become an on-screen everywoman – a wine-drinking calorie counter, yes, but one with a pretty awesome career and a way with a cutting one-liner, too.
It’s been 12 years since she last graced our screens in The Edge Of Reason (the one with the Thai prison, if you needed a refresher), but the now forty-something Bridge is back for the much anticipated Bridget Jones’s Baby, joined by Colin Firth’s Mark Darcy and a brand new love interest in the form of Jack Qwant, a dating app billionaire played by Patrick Dempsey. The diary has been swapped for an iPad, she’s chatting with her colleagues about Tinder, and she’s wearing clothes by label-of-the-moment Shrimps, but Bridget 3.0 is still the same hilariously fallible Bridget we know and love.
To celebrate Bridget's return, we've teamed up with Universal Pictures to offer one reader the chance to win a pair of tickets to the film's London premiere - meaning that the winner will be among the first to find out just who is the father of Bridget's baby...
To be in with a chance of winning, we want to hear why you are just like Bridget, by answering the sentence 'I am Bridget because...'
To do this, we want you to tweet us a picture of you holding up your answer on a piece of card (you know, Love Actually style) with the hashtag #IAmBridget. Look out for Team Grazia's own responses on our Twitter feed...
How To Enter
Respond to the pinned tweet on Grazia's Twitter page by telling us why you are most like Bridget Jones. To do this, you'll need to write your answer on some card, hold it up and take a picture, then reply with the hashtag #IAmBridget.
