Popular Netflix film spin-off thrown into chaos as cast and crew are hit with illness during overseas shoot
Production on Sherlock Holmes spin-off Enola Holmes, starring Millie Bobby Brown, had moved from Shepperton Studios to Malta for its final weeks of filming.
However, things came to a screeching halt after members of the team fell ill due to suspected dodgy catering, according to The Sun.
The unexpected setback has delayed the shoot, causing pressure on the team to hit the deadlines.
A source told the publication: 'It's a nightmare because these productions run to such tight schedules and filming had to be stopped.
'There were a fair few affected and it meant everything had to grind to a halt until they got better.
'It ended up being a bout of food poisoning which is just really unfortunate. Luckily it wasn't anything too serious and everyone recovered but it put pressure on them in terms of hitting deadlines.'
Earlier this year, Millie Bobby Brown confirmed she would be returning as Enola Holmes, the younger sister of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective Sherlock Holmes.
Henry Cavill is back as Sherlock, with Himesh Patel returning as Dr. Watson, and Louis Partridge reprising his role as Enola's love interest, Viscount Tewkesbury.
Helena Bonham Carter returns as Eudoria Holmes, while Sharon Duncan-Brewster continues to portray the villainous Moriarty.
Production kicked off earlier this year for the third season, with Netflix targeting a late 2025 release.
Plot details are under wraps but it will reportedly be a darker iteration than the previous two instalments.
In the movie, the youngest member of the Holmes family goes off in search of her missing mother, even as her more famous brothers try to thwart her investigation.
The film was originally planned for a theatrical release by Warner Bros., but it was picked up by Netflix in April amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Speaking about the second sequel in a statement for Deadline, leading lady Millie said: 'I can't wait to collaborate again with my Enola Holmes family!
'Enola holds a special place in my heart – she's strong, fearless, intelligent and brave. I look forward to fans seeing how her journey continues!'
Millie previously revealed that she 'found it really challenging being British' in the role after five years in the American Netflix series Stranger Things.
The actress, who grew up in Dorset, England, and settled in Florida with her family to pursue her acting career aged eight, said she 'had to learn how to speak again'.
Speaking to Radio Times, she said: 'For the last five years I've been playing an American character in Stranger Things and I found it really challenging being British in this, even though I am a Brit.
'I had to learn how to speak again because I'm so used to speaking in an American accent.'

Rochelle Humes sizzles in a pink bikini as she enjoys a family holiday in Marbella after being dragged into Myleene Klass and Frankie Bridge feud
Rochelle Humes showed off her incredible figure in a pink bikini as she posed for sizzling Instagram snaps during sun-soaked family holiday in Marbella on Sunday. The former Saturdays singer, 36, looked amazing in the triangle top which she teamed with a matching wrap skirt. Rochelle, who has recently been dragged into Myleene Klass and Frankie Bridge feud, shielded from the sun under a £480 Miu Miu hat and a pair of sunglasses. Leaving her dark tresses loose, the This Morning presenter beamed as she posed on a balcony. The star later slipped into a pink strapless bikini which she paired with a colourful shirt and matching trousers. She is currently on holiday with husband Marvin Humes, 40, and their three children - Alaia Mai, Valentina and Blake. It comes as it was revealed that Rochelle gave Mylenne's 'cheating' ex-husband a place to stay following their bitter breakup, it has been claimed. Radio presenter Myleene, 47, hit the headlines after accusing her former husband Graham Quinn of cheating on her with another celebrity, who she has refused to name, shortly before their 2011 wedding. Now it's been claimed Saturdays singer Rochelle lent a helping hand to Graham following the breakdown of his marriage to Mylenne. The Sun reports the former Hear'Say singer believed Rochelle and her husband Marvin had 'taken his side' in the split as a result. A source told the publication: 'Rochelle was doing what she saw as looking out for a friend in a time of need. 'Rochelle and Marvin are still clearly very much friends with Graham. 'Myleene is of the view that Rochelle took sides from the beginning of her marriage breakdown.' The insider added that Rochelle and Mylenne 'do everything in their power' to avoid each other amid their rift. Radio presenter Myleene, 47, hit the headlines after accusing her former husband Graham Quinn of cheating on her with another celebrity, who she has refused to name, shortly before their 2011 wedding Daily Mail has contacted reps for Rochelle and Mylenne for comment. Rochelle's spokesperson declined to respond. Graham was a tour manager for JLS and was recently snapped in Ibiza with Rochelle and Marvin. Myleene first started going out with her Irish bodyguard in 2001 and they were together for 12 years until they announced their split in 2013. She said she walked in on the moment ex Graham and the woman were taking each other's clothes off on the balcony of her home. Refusing to name the woman, Myleene hinted that the person in question has built a career off a 'family brand' and clarified that it was before they had got married. As mystery continues to swirl around the celebrity in question, Myleene declared she doesn't regret her honesty in the interview. Graham's inner circle hit back at the shock claims and told Daily Mail's Grant Tucker that the former Hear'Say bodyguard, who shares daughters Ava, 17, and Hero, 13, with Myleene was 'not going to dignify these fantasies with a response'. They also believe it was 'vindictive and calculated' of the singer to launch the bombshell on what she would have known was the week of Graham's 51st birthday. Despite the drama, Myleene flashed her gorgeous smile as she made her way through Leicester Square, London on Sunday. The TV personality put on a leggy display in a beige dress which she tied a black scarf around her waist and a Moschino belt. Meanwhile, Mylenne is also said to have fallen out with Frankie Bridge. Mylenne, Rochelle and Frankie all used to hang out together, with Loose Women hosts Myleene and Frankie attending Rochelle's hen do in 2012. Yet the following year, Myleene is said to have believed she was being 'blanked' by Frankie and confronted her at the 2013 Glamour Women of the Year awards - which is when the pair requested not to work together. However, due to a staff shortage around Christmas last year, Myleene and Frankie ended up on the same Loose Women panel - resulting in an 'awkward' episode with 'minimal interaction'. This week Myleene hinted at more revelations as she issued cryptic warning to those that 'have reason to' be afraid, after she made her explosive claims about her ex. After opening up about the scandal in an interview for Paul Brunson's We Need To Talk podcast, Myleene took to Instagram Stories to state she has 'receipts,' and 'won't keep her mouth shut.' The post also included a snap of her MBE, after receiving the honour for her services to women's health, miscarriage awareness and charity last month. While Myleene used the post to reflect on her recent achievements, she also declared she's 'finally found her voice' after opening up about her cheating ordeal. Due to a staff shortage around Christmas last year, Myleene and Frankie ended up on the same Loose Women panel - resulting in an 'awkward' episode with 'minimal interaction' She wrote: 'Wow. What a week it's been! Firstly, thank you. I have quite literally tens of thousands of messages of love and support for me and my family. I took a long time to learn there's strength in vulnerability. 'In a varied week where my interview with @paulcbrunson and @needtotalk went viral and reached the people who needed to hear it, where I was part of the incredible @stjohn_ambulance team who helped to save a persons life and where my children and I somehow managed to rescue our passports from the bottom of the Adriatic, it's been a mixed bag! 'All this to say, at 47, I've finally found my voice and it's clear, unapologetic and brutally honest. 'To those that fear its truth, you probably have reason to, I have receipts, to those that need to hear it, I've got you and I fully intend to continue using it to change the laws and legislation that neglect women and children in this country and around the world.' Myleene then ended her post with a Bible quote, that said: 'And the truth will set you free' John 8.32,' before adding her own words: 'And then some.'
