Hugh Bonneville delighted fans after sharing a snap of himself with his good friend from university on Instagram, writing: "35 years ago we’d just left university. These days we bump elbows. #BestFriends." Dressed in a pink shirt and tagging designer Indigo Island, fans were quick to compliment his look, with one writing: "Love those best days with good friends. Looks like you’ve lost a little weight...is there a new project in the works? Have an amazing day and thanks for my happy place."

Another added: "Love your shirt!" However, a third fan was quick to poke fun at the star after pointing out that they had seen the shirt before, writing: "Do you only have the one shirt?" accompanied by a smiley face emoji. Hugh replied: "No, Jane, in actual fact I have two! Both are from @indigo.island."
