Presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield will front a special episode of the daytime show live from Highclere Castle - the location for the period drama - on September 12 in honour of the popular programme's new spin-off movie and the duo couldn't be more excited.

Holly said: "It's no secret that I'm a huge fangirl of Downton Abbey, just like our 'This Morning' viewers.

"So put your feet up, get cosy and join us for High Tea at Highclere."

Phillip added: "Just like Holly, I'm a 'Downton Abbey' superfan so I can't wait to give This Morning viewers a proper nosey around Highclere Castle in all it's stunning glory.

"Surely Carson won't mind!"

The pair will be joined by a number of 'Downton' stars, including series regulars Jim Carter and Michael Fox and new cast member Tuppence Middleton, while the spectacular setting will also play host to a number of special segments, including a gardening slot fronted by Kelly Brook in the grounds of the Hampshire estate.

Show bosses have promised the one-off episode will make for a "truly memorable" show.

'This Morning' editor Martin Frizell said: "The 'Downton Abbey' film is one of the biggest British cinematic releases of the year and so it's only fitting that one of Britain's biggest daytime shows is to broadcast live from the set this September.

"Join us both upstairs and downstairs for a truly memorable This Morning special. We can't wait."

The special episode of 'This Morning' will air one day before the 'Downton Abbey' movie is released in cinemas.
