Downton Abbey’s Lady Mary is getting a new love interest - and he’s Goode, real Goode.

Watchmen and The Good Wife star Matthew Goode has reportedly signed up to play the widow’s latest suitor in the hit ITV period drama, reports the Daily Mail.

The actor was spotted filming scenes for the Christmas special and it's claimed he will also appear in several episodes of series six which begins filming in February.

A spokesperson for the show confirmed Goode will be in the Christmas special, telling Mirror TV: "Matthew Goode will appear in the Christmas episode as a guest character."
