It was worth the wait however, as she now has critical success across TV, film and theatre.

Although she's best known for Downton Abbey, Laura has plenty of other highly successful credits to boast of.

Laura has starred in Marcella, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and A United Kingdom.

In The Secrets She Keeps, she plays expectant woman, Agatha, who becomes obsessed by another pregnant lady she meets in the supermarket with the same due date.

The plot is inspired by real life events in which a 22 year old kidnapped a newborn baby for 17 days.

Who did Laura Carmichael play in Downton Abbey?

During the show, she undergoes an illegitimate pregnancy, becomes a journalist, and eventually marries.

Lady Edith is one of the core cast in Downton Abbey, so it's surely Laura's most famous role to date.

In Downton Abbey Laura's character is one of wealth, whereas in her latest role in The Secrets She Keeps, she is struggling and and in awe of the middle class people around her.

Who is Laura Carmichael's boyfriend Michael Fox?

Laura has been dating Michael Fox for a number of years – the pair made their relationship public in 2016 after Downton Abbey had finished.

Michael starred alongside Laura in Downton Abbey in the fifth and sixth series.

Aside from Downton, Michael featured in the award-winning Dunkirk movie and has been part of a band called Luna.

Speaking about the dynamic of working and acting together, Michael told the Sunday Post: "It was just professional.

"We'd go to work and we didn't want it to be a thing in any way when we were working together.

"It was great, though, to go to work with your best pal. Apart from that we like to keep it quite separate from Downton."
