Downton Abbey stars on Olympic dreams

Report by Ashley Fudge

Ever dreamt of being an Olympic star? Well, those dreams are also happening on the Downton Abbey set.

Two of the youngest stars of the third series have been mulling over which events would suit them.

When we asked Matt Milne and Ed Speleers, it sparked a debate among the pair.

Ed started off less optimistic: "There aren't any Olympic sports I'm good at. I'd say sprint to get it over and done with."

Matt nearly plumped for "spectator" but soon changed his mind to shotput and discus.

Then they both realised what Matt's forte would be...basketball.

"I'm 8 ft 9," Matt added. "I actually grew 3 ft for this role."

(We're thinking don't give up the day jobs lads).
