Two huge Hollywood names have been in Halifax while filming their new movie.

Barbie star Margot Robbie and Saltburn actor Jacob Elordi stayed at Holdsworth House Hotel and Restaurant, in Holmfield, while making a new adaptation of the classic tale Wuthering Heights.

Also with them was director of the new film Emerald Fennell, who also directed Saltburn and starred in Call the Midwife and The Crown.

The hotel has posted that the visit, at the end of last month, was “cloaked in secrecy” at the time.

"The A-list trio stayed overnight while filming a new adaptation of Wuthering Heights on the Bronte moors, with Margot starring as Catherine, Jacob as Heathcliff and Emerald directing,” they posted.

"They dined in our restaurant and chatted with our brilliant maître d' Anthony who, like Margot and Jacob, is also from Brisbane Australia.

"Anthony said the whole evening felt like Brisvegas had come to Halifax!”
