Comic Relief viewers were joyful as Lily James and Alicia Vikander married in heart-rendering scenes for Four Weddings And A Funeral's spoof on Friday night.

While fans were left giggling with the Mamma Mia! sequel parody, One Red Nose Day And A Wedding left fans emotional when the Four Weddings And A Funeral cast reunited for the 12-minute sketch 25 years after the movie.

Social media was awash with fans praising the 'brilliant' clip where Hugh Grant snapped hilariously straight back into the character of hapless Charles as he walked his on-screen daughter, played by Lily, up the aisle.

She's back: Keeley Hawes' character returned from the dead on Friday night in a Bodyguard spoof for Comic Relief 2019

Elsewhere in the show, Richard Madden and Keeley Hawes drove fans wild when they reunited for the hotly-anticipated Bodyguard spoof segment. 

Speculation is rife that Julia Montague will return from the dead in Bodyguard season two after the prime minister was 'killed off' in the fourth episode of season one.

The spoof didn't disappoint as Keely clambered into the back of the taxi and hilariously demanded to know whether her character Julia would be in the second series.  

She then asked Richard's character: 'Do you know if I'm in series two?', to which he bluntly replied with: 'You are dead...', with Keeley cryptically adding: 'Am I?'
