Love Actually 2: The Walking Dead star Andrew Lincoln drops HUGE spoiler
BEFORE he became a zombie slayer in The Walking Dead, Andrew Lincoln was better known for his role as the besotted Mark in Love Actually.

His character was head-over-heels in unrequited love with Keira Knightley’s character Juliet, and as fans of the romantic comedy will remember, he revealed the true extent of his feelings using a set of cards.
Now, The Walking Dead actor Andrew, 43, has dropped a major spoiler about the forthcoming Love Actually sequel which will air later this month on the BBC.
In a series of pictures shared from the Twitter account of Emma Freud, the wife of Love Actually creator Richard Curtis, fans have been given a sneak peek of the short film.
One of the posts shows Andrew reuniting with his onscreen best friend Peter (played by Chiwetel Ejiofor) and the husband of Juliet.
Script writer Emma, 55, shared the snap from the set of Love Actually with her 171,000 Twitter followers and captioned it: “Brothers in arms. And noses. Everyone on the #rednosedayactually SO happy these guys are here tonight. Esp me." [sic]
A second post shows a shot of Andrew holding up a card which reads: “Red Nose Hero,” along with the caption: “Final day filming with this hero for #rednosedayactually - #quitehandsomeactually.”

“At least someone thinks Andrew Lincoln is funny. Keira Knightley more beautiful than ever. #tomeyouareperfect #rednosedayactually #march24th,” Emma wrote to accompany a shot of the cast and crew watching the monitor on set.
However, perhaps the most surprising photograph is of Andrew with supermodel Kate Moss, which is captioned: “Oh. What's SHE doing here? Caption competition. Answers to @rednoseday. #rednosedayactually on @BBCOne march 24th.”
The final image makes a reference to the original film in which Mark says via the card: “With any luck, by next year I’ll be going out with one of these girls…”
He then holds up a collage featuring Kate, 43, and Kylie Minogue and a number of other models.
This is not the first spoiler from the set of the special one-off Love Actually special, Emma has also revealed that Hugh Grant’s prime minister will be happily married to Martin McCutcheon’s secretary Natalie.
Red Nose Actually will air on BBC One on March 24.
