Emily In Paris filming for series five has kicked off as Lily Collins and the gang returned to Rome to shoot the new season of the Netflix hit.
The actress, 36, who plays marketing executive Emily Cooper, was spotted filming with her current on-screen lover Eugenio Franceschini.
However, a love triangle is never far away from Emily, as her ex-boyfriend Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) dashed to the Italian capital to try and win her back.
The fourth series concluded on a cliffhanger as Gabriel arrived in the ancient city, but Emily had finally ditched her phone to enjoy a day out with new love Marcello.
But the social-media mad character was back online in the new series, as she was snapped taking selfies from the back of a cream Vespa.
Emily looked typically chic in a black and white geometric print jumpsuit which was belted around her waist and styled with towering silver platforms.

Meanwhile, Marcello was looking sharp in a cream linen suit and dark red polo shirt, which he teamed with a pair of smart black shoes.
As well as a new romance, the British-American star was also debuting a sleek cropped bob, after previously sporting long wavy tresses.
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’.
