Celia Holman Lee and Leanne Moore on set filming a promotional video for Downton Abbey

Two well-known Limerick ladies recently starred in promotional advertisements for multi-award-winning hit series Downton Abbey.

Celia Holman Lee and Leanne Moore teamed up to be the ultimate Limerick fashionistas on TV3. The first episode in the sixth and final series of the show was aired during September on TV3 and viewers tuning into the latest happenings in the lives of the Crawley family were first met with Celia and Leanne, who star in the opening ads, sponsored by Oxendales.

“This is my second season doing the ads and I was thrilled when Oxendales asked me if I would mind doing them again,” Celia explained.

The model agent plays the part of the lady of the manor while Leanne Moore plays the part of her niece.

“They said they wanted another person with me – somebody with acting ability and a different hair colouring. Straight away, I thought of Leanne,” said Celia. “They saw pictures of her and loved her!”
