The news comes after it was revealed Joanna is set to return to Downton Abbey as production gets underway for the period drama’s third film.
The actress starred as Anna Bates, the maid of Lady Crawley, in the series from 2010 until the finale in 2015 and the first two films.
The third instalment was first let slip early by actress Imelda Staunton, who unashamedly announced that there would definitely be a ‘third and final’ film.
It was later confirmed by the show runners, who announced that there would be a ‘third film in the beloved Downton Abbey franchise’.
However, while producers have ‘tried to reunite the cast’ some stars will be unable to return.

A TV insider told The Sun: ‘This will be welcome news for fans of the drama, because Anna was a particular favourite but none of the cast members were guaranteed to return.
‘Although the producers have tried to reunite most of the Downton stars, not all of them have been able to commit, even if they did appear in the first two films.’
In February, The Mail revealed the period drama would be making a surprise comeback for a seventh series.
