  Full of suspense: Richard Madden, 34, and Priyanka Chopra, 38, perform their high-flying stunts for the big-budget spy project, Amazon’s forthcoming Citadel series

  Ms Chopra, a former Miss World who has enjoyed success in Hollywood and Bollywood, donned a silver and black two-piece for the scene before jumping behind the wheel of a buggy bristling with weaponry.

  During a break from filming, the pair were seen giggling as they looked at their phones. ‘They looked like something out of a Marvel action comic in those costumes, but when you saw them laughing like a couple of overgrown teenagers, the penny suddenly dropped that they were unlikely to be saving the world from anything,’ said one bystander.

  Citadel, which also stars Stanley Tucci, is described as an ‘action-packed spy series with a compelling emotional centre’.

  Madden is also set to reprise his Bodyguard role of David Budd. The creator of the 2018 drama, Jed Mercurio, confirmed in January that there will be a sequel, but it is unclear when filming will begin.
