Grinning from ear to ear, Fisher appeared upbeat and even wielded a large red water gun as she played gleefully with children while filming a scene.
However, the fun was short-lived, as the fourth instalment of the successful franchise was reportedly “thrown into chaos” when an unnamed cast member suffered a broken bone and was taken to hospital.
“It’s a total disaster. This has all been so devastating for the entire cast and all the hardworking staff who were down to work”, a source told The Sun.
“They’d been due to shoot some of the film’s most important scenes and then they suffered this setback after a really unfortunate accident.
Delaying production, the unfortunate situation is said to threaten the “busy diaries of A-listers.”
Believed to play a friend of Oscar winner Zellweger’s character, the Shopaholic star is set to star alongside Hugh Grant who will reprise his role as Daniel Cleaver, Grant’s Love Actually co-star Chiwetel Ejiofor, and One Day’s Leo Woodall.
Fisher, 48, finalised her divorce from British filmmaker Baron Cohen in April this year following a decade of marriage.
She has since thanked fans for their support during the emotional period, with public allegations her ex-husband behaved inappropriately towards Rebel Wilson on the set of Grimsby marring their split.
