Back in March 2016, during an interview with Jonathan Ross on The Jonathan Ross Show, Collier while talking about his Downton Abbey character, said how his partner reacted to him when he told her he was the one who actually put the kissing scene in one of the scenes.

Kissing a guy, I thought I was gonna get away with that…Missus turns to me and “You never kissed me like that.”
