THE new Bridget Jones film risks being seen as a load of pants after getting a woke makeover.
The heroine is again played by Renee Zellweger, 55, in the fourth movie Mad About the Boy.

But it has all gone PC as she shuts down compliments on her appearance at work, makes a remark on a consensual kiss and is lectured by a snowflake nanny.
She hires the child help following the death of husband Mark Darcy (Colin Firth).
Introducing her son, she says: “This is Billy — the science genius.”
The nanny remarks: “Oh, you mustn’t pigeonhole children.”
Bridget also says Billy is a straight-As student but is told: “It’s not about the result, it’s about the journey.”
The character embarks on a romance with hunky toyboy Roxster (Leo Woodall, 28) after they match on a dating app.
On a first date, he asks: “Is it alright if I kiss you?”
She replies: “Aw, a generation who ask.”
Bridget returns to work as a TV producer and her boss says she looks “hot”.
She responds: “I think you will find that sort of language is a little outmoded in the workplace.”
However, while she no longer smokes, she still swigs white wine from the bottle.
The film hits cinemas February 13.
