Speaking about her return to the red carpet, Laura said: ‘After so long in lockdown, walking the red carpet was a shock for us all. I was terrified.’

In 2019, she told Town and Country: ‘I’ve fallen in love and made wonderful friends – how lucky am I?’

Michael has also addressed their relationship in the past, saying they liked to keep their romance separate from their jobs on Downton.

‘We’d go to work and we didn’t want it to be a thing in any way when we were working together,’ he told the Sunday Post.

‘It was great, though, to go to work with your best pal.’
