LADY MARY, DOCK STAR!

Gig debut with her Downton footman

- By Imogen Horton

SHE first showed off her musical credential­s in a piano-side sing-along as Lady Mary in Downton Abbey.

Now Michelle Dockery has proved that she is quite the singer with a very different type of music. While her TV performanc­e was with on-screen husband Dan Stevens, it was co-star Michael Fox who joined her this time on stage on Monday.

The actress, 40, and Fox, , who plays footman Andrew Parker, put on a stunning performanc­e for their first live show as duo Michael and Michelle. The pair delighted fans as they sang and played guitar with a backing band at Omeara London. They released their debut EP, The Watching Silence, with Decca Records last month – six years after they started collaborat­ing following the end of the ITV period drama. Both recently starred in the second Downton Abbey film, A New Era, which was released in April.

Fox has been in a relationsh­ip with Laura Carmichael, who plays Lady Mary’s sister, Lady Edith, since 2016. Their first son, Luca, was born last year.
