People stunned after discovering 'Love Actually 2' actually exists with the original cast

After the release of the best Christmas movie the UK has ever produced, people around the nation have been annually popping it on the TV ever since.

Love, Actually is everything you’d ever need to have during the cosiest time of the year.

Think about it. There’s Colin Firth falling in love with his gorgeous Portuguese housekeeper, Emma Thompson finding out that her husband, Alan Rickman cheated on her after he gave her a Joni Mitchell CD instead of a pricey necklace and Kiera Knightly was inadvertently the middle man in a love triangle with Andrew Lincoln.

Thanks to its Hollywood cast, it soon became a fan favourite.

There’s Hugh Grant, Laura Linney, Liam Neeson, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Bill Nighy, Andrew Lincoln, Martin McCutcheon, Martin Freeman, Joanna Page, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Rowan Atkinson, just to name a few in this festive hit.

But what many didn’t know was that in 2017, a whole nation of fans of the star-studded blockbuster were treated to a Love, Actually sequel.

That's right, 14 years after the original release, the majority of the cast reunited for a follow-up film.

"Did y’all know they did a 15 minute update to where the characters are at now for Red Nose Day. I didn’t," one movie-lover tweeted after finding out about it.

Another wrote: "Found out today that Love Actually has a sequel called Red Nose Day Actually. It’s only 15 minutes long but [crying emoji]."

The sequel was produced for Red Nose Day to raise money for those in need.

For those who can't resist a spoiler as to what exactly goes down in the big-name sequel, read on...

In the second instalment, Juliet (Kiera Knightley) and hubby Peter (Chiwetel Ejiofor) are watching TV together when Mark (Andrew Lincoln) once again appears with his gigantic flash-cards, revealing he had in fact married a model - as he hoped to do in the original movie - who ends up being none other than Kate Moss.

Meanwhile, bumbling politician David (Hugh Grant) has regained his position as PM and is seen to be dancing around No. 10 once again, this time with wife Natalie, who was played by Martine McCutcheon.

McCutcheon actually recently apologised to Grant after missing a few of his birthdays.

Don't let that stop you from making a third film, guys!

He goes on to make an inspirational public speech about how love and good will win in the end, despite the hard times the country is facing.

Legendary singer Billy Mack (Bill Nighy) has released another charity single and claims during an interview that he did so in order to raise money for Red Nose Day, before jestingly admitting he only cares about the children that buy his records.

Colin Firth reprises the role of loveable lonely heart Jamie, who we see picking his kids up from school with his now-wife Aurélia, during which she reveals she is pregnant with their fourth child.

With the language barrier proving to be a problem once again, however, Jamie believes she is telling him what's for dinner.

All-grown-up youngster Sam (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) has moved to New York since the first movie, and stepdad Daniel (Liam Neeson) has flown across the pond to visit him.

Initially concerned as to why Sam hasn't been in touch recently, Daniel is shocked to discover that his stepson has actually rekindled his romance with American childhood crush Joanna, who asks for Sam's hand in marriage.

And much like the first movie, doting customer service assistant Rufus (Rowan Atkinson) returns to elaborately wrap some red noses for a long line of customers.

Some things never change!
