Elsewhere on the set, Katherine Parkinson, 47, donned a floral blue dress beneath a huge pink-lined camouflage coat as she reprised her role as romance novelist Lizzie Vereker.
While David Tennant, 54, was back in his role as Lord Tony Baddingham, having made a made a sensational return to filming earlier this month after the last series ended on a shock cliffhanger, leaving fans wondering if he will ever return.
The final episode of series one saw Doctor Who star David’s character struggle with Cameron Cook (Nafessa Williams) in dramatic scenes. He was hit on the head, seemingly killed and giving rival Rupert the opportunity to blackmail.
But in a shock turn of events, David is back and looking alive and well as he mingled on set in a dapper navy blazer.
His onscreen rival Alex Hassell was also seen on set, sporting polo gear as he reprised his role as Rupert Campbell-Black.

The actress then strips naked to play tennis with Alex Hassell’s character Rupert Campbell Black, who is also starkers.
Emily is completely nude in the eye-popping scene, where she protects her modesty with a just tennis ball and racket.
She previously stressed that she was unbothered by the prospect of baring all, explaining on The Chris Myles Show on Radio X that she was more intimidated by the thought of playing tennis.
‘It was so funny, because when they sent me the script, they said, “You know, you’re going to have to play tennis naked.” That was one of the things they said. And I said, “Disney, there is no way on Earth you’re going to get me to play tennis!”
‘That’s genuinely what I was worried about. I was like, “No way!” But yeah. So, once I got past all that bit, read the script, I was like, “Yeah, this is made for me, this role.” Those roles come along very rarely, and it just spoke to me.’
Set in 1986, Rivals follows the cut throat world of television, including the tense rivalry between Rupert Campbell-Black (Alex Hassell) and Lord Tony Baddingham (David Tennant).
Disney+ teased the happy news of Tony’s return last month, sharing an Instagram snap of David’s name card and script at a table read, with the caption: ‘Did someone ask for a Rivals update?’
The period drama – which is based on author Jilly Cooper’s novel of the same name – premiered in the UK on streaming service Disney+, as well as in the US on Hulu back in October 2024.

Rivals became a huge hit with viewers and many were desperate to know if there would be a second series.
Then back in December 2024, the renewal was confirmed and in May a first look at the new series was shared on social media.
Author and executive producer Dame Jilly Cooper said of the news: ‘I’m utterly sex-static filming for the second season is upon us.
‘It was magical working with Happy Prince and Disney+ on the first season and seeing everyone fall head over heels for my beloved characters.
‘I’m delighted to be able to work with them again and for everyone to see what further mischief they all get up to!’
