Bridget Jones fans have
taken to social networking to voice their horror at the news that author
Helen Fielding has killed off Mark Darcy.
In extracts from her new book, Mad About The Boy, published
in the Sunday Times magazine, Bridget reveals that Darcy - her husband
and father to her two children, died five years earlier.
Darcy was played by Colin Firth in the Bridget Jones movies.
