Downton star Allen Leech LOVES winding father up with fake plotlines

Downton Abbey star Allen Leech has admitted he loves winding up his dad by feeding him spoof story-lines from the series.

The Dublin actor said his family are constantly asking him for upcoming plotlines from the ITV show.

But the 33-year-old – who plays ex-chauffeur Tom Branson in Downton – winds his father up by telling him dramatic but false plotlines.

He said: “I tell him lies and then they get filtered back to me.

Downton: Allan admitted he’s a prankster to dad

“I told him Matthew Crawley went blind and he rang me and said he never went blind! He’d told loads of people.”

However Alan remained tight-lipped on whether his character Tom Branson will leave Downton for America or stay in England with his adopted family.

“At the minute he is trying to decide exactly what he wants to do and obviously he has the opportunity to go Stateside but we’ll see. Downton is his home,” he said.

Meanwhile, Alan said some fans weren’t happy when he jokingly tweeted about meeting his fictional late wife – and posted a photo of Lady Sybil’s gravestone.

He told This Morning: “It was back on set. I just thought it would be funny. We were out filming and I said, ‘Met my ex-wife, pretty cold, didn’t have too much to say’. The fans said it was too soon.”
