Downton Abbey star Allen Leech hints he's LEAVING the show in the Christmas special

Allen Leech has hinted that his character Tom Branson is going to leave Downton Abbey.

The Irish actor suggested that he may be leaving the award winning drama during the Christmas special.

Speaking about the Christmas episode Allen hinted he could be going.

“I think if he does leave, Tom will be leaving under his own steam and he won’t be dead so it doesn’t mean that he’s leaving forever,” he said.

All over? Allen suggested Tom will leave this Christmas

“I think if he does leave, there’s always a chance that he will come back. Will I be sad? It’s been the most incredible journey doing that show so I would be sad.

“But like I said, ‘Never say never’. I’d like to finish that story out with all those people whenever that is. If he does leave it will be a nice break lately.”

When pressed for more details on the Christmas special Allen remained tight lipped, but said something big will happen for Tom.

“I couldn’t tell you. I couldn’t tell you. The only thing I could say is Tom is making a decision on whether he is going to stay or not and you’ll all know on Christmas Day in the UK.”

Allen, who is now internationally recognised for his work in the hit period drama went on to say he has already been offered work beyond Downton.

The Dublin star made the comments on the red carpet at the premiere of his new movie The Imitation Game, and revealed he has read some more great film scripts.
