ITV bosses have accidentally revealed who dies in the series two finale of Julian Fellowes-penned drama Downton Abbey by publishing a cast list for series three with one big omission.

The second series of Downton Abbey hasn't been without its share of misery, with one death already having been featured in the series, which stars Hugh Bonneville and Maggie Smith.But another character is set to become a victim of the Spanish flu sweeping the household during the current season of the period drama and by releasing the list of stars who are set to take part in future episodes, ITV bosses have inadvertently told viewers who will perish.
The error could annoy the 11.5 million fans who have tuned in to the first six episodes of the second series, but supporters of Maggie Smith, Hugh Bonneville, Joanne Froggatt, Rob James-Collier and Michelle Dockery can rest easy as ITV bosses have confirmed they will be returning for a third series.
There are plenty of possibilities about which character is going to be killed off, but the cast list remains a closely guarded secret.
The forthcoming series will be set over an 18-month period in 1920 and 1921, featuring the lives of the Crawley family and their servants.
Laura Mackie, ITV's director of drama commissioning, said: 'We're absolutely delighted to be bringing Downton Abbey back for a third series, as we follow the inhabitants of Downton as they move into the roaring 20s.
'It's rare to find a drama that the audience connects with so strongly and we're extremely proud to have commissioned a series that has become such a phenomenon.'
The final episode of Downton Abbey airs this Sunday at 9pm on ITV1.
