Lily Collins and on-screen lover Eugenio Franceschini lean in for a kiss as they shoot romantic scenes for Emily In Paris series five
Lily Collins and on-screen lover Eugenio Franceschini leaned in for a kiss as they shot romantic scenes for Emily In Paris series five in Palo Laziale, Italy on Wednesday.
Series four ended on a huge cliffhanger on Lily's character Emily Cooper's tangled love life.
Emily's ex-boyfriend Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) dash to the Italian capital to try and win her back but Emily had finally ditched her phone to enjoy a day out with new love Marcello, played by Eugenio.
And it appears Emily may have finally made her decision as she was pictured looking very cosy with Italian lover Marcello.
The lovebirds packed on the PDA as they sipped on cocktails on a balcony at Hotel Posta Vecchia.
Emily looked typically chic in a strapless red and black dress, complemented with dangling green earrings and a red lip.
The British-American star was also showed off her sleek cropped bob, after previously sporting long wavy tresses.
Meanwhile, Marcello was looking sharp in a navy linen suit and burgundy T-shirt.
Also making a brief appearance on set, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu got into character as Emily's iconic boss Sylvie.
She was seen getting cosy with a potential new co-star.
The upcoming series will see Emily juggle her potential new life in Rome and her past life in Paris.
Emily was left with a decision at the end of series four, as she was offered the position of the lead of the Italian Agence Grateau office.
Despite falling in love with Paris and the agency, Emily admitted she was tempted by a new life - with a new man - in Rome.
Fans will remember Emily and Gabriel's romance fell apart after they finally tried to make a go of their relationship after he broke off his relationship with Camille.

Following a fake pregnancy scandal, Camille revealed she wasn't actually expecting and Emily and Gabriel tried to work out a romantic future.
However, it wasn't meant to be for the star-crossed lovers who were unable to work out their differences and she was pushed into the arms of Marcello, after they met on the slopes of Megève, when she was abandoned at the top of a slope by Gabriel.
They crossed paths again at a polo match in Paris and they enjoyed a night out together in the city, which lasted until the following morning when he asked her to come and visit him in Rome.
Emily followed her heart and travelled to meet Marcello, where she was also tasked with acquiring his family's business by her boss Sylvie. However Emily was reluctant to mix business with pleasure.
Emily and Marcello hit a stumbling block when he learned of her plans to try and secure a professional relationship with his family, who owned a luxury cashmere company, but they eventually managed to iron their issues out.
At which point, Gabriel had a candid conversation with Alfie [Lucien Laviscount], who urged him to try and win Emily back, despite previously being romantically involved with her himself.
But despite dashing to Rome with the hope of reuniting, Emily was nowhere to be seen as she enjoyed her romantic day out with Marcello.
Speaking about the upcoming series, Lucas said: 'I think Gabriel realized that he doesn't want to let Emily go so easily, and he might have made a big mistake.

'They certainly had a big fight and a cooling off period. But I think he realized that by the end of the season, that there's something that he doesn't want to let Emily go.
'I don't know what that means. Doesn't necessarily mean they're going to be together instantly or ever. I don't know, but I think he feels there's unfinished business with the two of them.'
However, there is hope for the couple as according to creator Darren Star, the season is not fully moving to Rome.
He told Deadline: 'She didn't change her Instagram handle to Emily in Rome. She is working in Rome sometimes. Sylvie's company has an office in Rome.
'Emily's getting that on its feet. I don't necessarily think that it means a permanent — in my mind, it's definitely not a permanent — move to Rome. We're not leaving Paris.'
The series is expected to air towards the end of this year, but one of the main characters has revealed they won't be returning.
Camille Razat, 31, who plays Camille in the romantic comedy drama - took to Instagram to reveal the shocking news with an emotional goodbye post after fans fumed at bosses for 'destroying the character'.
Camille has played Emily's pal and love rival in the show since the programme hit the streaming service back in 2020.

EXCLUSIVE Chris Hughes cosies up to new girlfriend JoJo Siwa as she wins over his parents during a trip to The Cotswolds after the couple finally confirmed their romance
and JoJo Siwa have taken their romance to the next level, as he's introduced her to his parents after travelling to their home in The Cotswolds. The Love Island star, 32, and dancer, 22, finally confirmed earlier this week that they were an item following weeks of speculation, with JoJo admitting she's 'head over heels' for Chris. After travelling to visit Chris' family in the countryside, the couple were seen enjoying a romantic stroll together on Wednesday, their first sighting together since JoJo revealed they'd made their romance official. The pair, who met in the Celebrity Big Brother house in April, held hands as they enjoying a well-deserved break, after JoJo flew to the UK for two London shows, and to promote her new single Bulletproof. A source also told MailOnline that JoJo has already 'charmed' Chris' parents, adding: 'JoJo and Chris are absolutely loved-up. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The Love Island star and dancer finally confirmed earlier this week that they were an item following weeks of speculation, with JoJo admitting she's 'head over heels' for Chris 'Meeting the parents is a big step, but she charmed everyone. Looks like JoJo has traded in her bows for a bit of British countryside bliss!' Despite jetting to Mexico to surprise her for her 22nd birthday last month, proceeding to mark the milestone with the singer and her family in Orlando, and later sharing a steamy bedroom selfie, JoJo played coy about their relationship status until earlier this week. A source also previously told that Chris also seems to have received the seal of approval from JoJo's parents, Jessalynn and Tom, who are not believed to have any qualms with the 10-year age gap. 'Her parents are all in for JoJo's happiness and see Chris as someone very special and are eager to see where it all goes,' the insider said. 'They fully support their daughter's decision. JoJo has grown up before our eyes, and will jump into things with both feet, so her friends aren't surprised that she is acting this way with Chris. 'No one is talking about the age gap or if they are rushing into things. Everyone just wants to see JoJo happy.' JoJo, who reunited with Chris in the UK last week, is so happy she may mention her new man in new music. The insider added: 'She has been thinking of writing songs about her relationship with Chris.' In a recent interview with Sunday Brunch, JoJo fought back tears as she shared how her parents 'think the absolute world of Chris.' She said: 'Him and my Dad are like best friends, Chris was actually telling me this yesterday, they went to the spa together yesterday. 'They're literally best friends, Mom Siwa she absolutely adores him. I love watching her watch us, because I've never seen my mom so happy, and it's... it's... I could cry. 'Honestly, it makes me happy to have everybody act as... it feels like we're a family, it feels like he's been in my family for how ever many years it feels like forever. 'He gets along as well as I do. I think he loves me because of my parents!' On Monday, JoJo finally confirmed that she and Chris were in a relationship, following weeks of speculation. While JoJo has been grilled many times on her relationship status, she had been noticeably coy, simply branding Chris her 'favourite person in the world.' But in an interview with Capital Radio, JoJo confirmed that she and Chris have made their relationship official, and she's started calling him her boyfriend. Speaking in a video for the channel's new series Capital Buzz, the dancer admitted that she's had to explain her viral 'Dream guest on my podcast' moment to Chris. She then added: 'I'm sure it's no secret to people, I am in a lovely relationship with a sweet boy named Christopher Hughes.' In an earlier interview with The Guardian, JoJo gushed about her blossoming romance with Chris. She said: 'It's not platonic any more, and it's been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I'm absolutely head over heels for him and he's the same way.' The Dance Moms star also hit back at speculation that their relationship is a 'PR stunt,' saying: 'Clearly, you've never been around us. I won't ever speak for him, but for me personally, the happiness in my life just radiates off of me right now. 'Literally yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks; I've never [before] been in pain from smiling so much.' On Sunday, Chris sent fans into a frenzy when he shared a steamy bedroom snap with JoJo on Snapchat. The Dance Moms star had been coy when asked about the exact moment she developed feelings for Chris. Speaking during a Q&A with fans at Pineapple Dance Studios on Saturday, she said: 'Loads of different times, loads of different times on different levels. I'm very very happy where we are currently, obviously, I mean I literally smile every single second of every single day now. 'One of personal biggest frustrations in my life now is that I actually don't know, I genuinely don't know, and I've spoken to him about it, I've spoken to my mom about it, I don't know the moment that it,' before snapping her fingers. She added: 'It was never like a light switch happened, it was just... you know what I mean? And so I genuinely don't know! It's serendipity!' Last week, JoJo took to Instagram to reflect on her London shows, admitting she has never felt so 'content and happy,' and described her first few days in the UK as 'the perfect time with perfect people in a perfect place'. Chris had attended JoJo's first show in London the previous night, but the star admitted he couldn't attend Tuesday's performance. Instead, she brought along the orange beanie he'd given her while in the house, after she caught Chris singing one of her hits while she was still asleep. She told the audience: 'This morning I woke up and all I heard was [sings Nobody Can Change me] he was singing, so I figured today I'd bring a little bit of him while I sing this next song.' As the show came to a close, JoJo wept at the crowd's reception, telling her fans that after once feeling she was 'one of the most hated people in the world,' she felt 'so special and so loved'.

I knew everyone would hate my mustard shorts. That didn't stop me buying them
One day in my late teens I found a pair of jeans that fitted me nicely. This was at the newly opened Merry Hill shopping centre in the Black Country. The jeans were an odd colour but I liked the cut of my jib in them. This was until I told a schoolfriend I'd bought some mustard-coloured jeans. 'What kind of mustard?' he asked. 'Not English, surely?' I'm afraid they were. But I stuck with them, resolving to wash the colour issue away. Sadly, thanks to the ferocity of the laundering, soon after I'd got them from English mustard down to dijon, they fell apart, bringing the whole unhappy episode to an end. Forty years on, farcically, I made the same poor purchasing decision all over again. I was on holiday in the Italian mountains and came across some (English) mustard-coloured hiking shorts in an outdoor shop. They fitted so nicely that I bought two pairs. I can only imagine that the fresh alpine air had addled my mind. But from Dudley to the Dolomites, a dope's a dope. Back home, I washed them much more than I'd worn them. And the colour has shifted not a jot. Three years on, they are as mustard as they ever were. If you want to check the colour out, don some protective eyewear and Google lynx 787. Remarkably, Helly Hansen is still selling them, so I'm not ploughing as lonely a furrow as it feels. Last week, my daughters begged me never to wear the shorts anywhere apart from in my garden, while gardening, and then only if I wasn't expecting visitors. During a pause in weeding, I hatched a plan. I'd dye the bloody things. Ignoring advice that polyamide is not for being dyed, I bought some dark blue stuff, boiled my shorts in it for an hour as directed, and to my considerable delight they are mustard no more. OK, they're not exactly blue. In fact, they're exactly green. A similar green to that sported by Australian park rangers, which is fine by me. I do like the colour, which is just as well as I strongly suspect the rest of my clothes will be green too after the next wash. As for the fashion police, I've been advised it's an improvement but, to be on the safe side, best to stick to the garden for the time being.
