Kate WinsletThe New Bridget?Movie fans want British actress Kate Winslet to be the next Bridget Jones - if Renee Zellweger stepped down from the role.    

A huge 41% in the skymovies.com poll voted for the Titanic star to play the loveable singleton.

Renee hasn't been happy piling on the pounds - rising from a size 6 to 14 - for the sequel The Edge Of Reason, which opens on Friday.   

But she did hint at this week's London premiere she may do, if creator Helen Fielding was to write a third diary.   

However, curvy Kate, who once famously said she would not slim for Hollywood and then did, is ideal to take on the Bridget role if Renee says no, say fans.   

Renee in Bridget Jones 2Loveable BridgetGorgeous Reese Witherspoon came second with 21% and Friends star Jennifer Aniston was a shock third with 14%.   

The voting ended with Rochdale lovely Anna Friel (12%), Goldie Hawn's daughter Kate Hudson (8%) and posh Helena Bonham-Carter, with just 4%.
