Lily James finally addresses Dominic West kissing scandal: ‘There’s a lot to say’

British actress Lily James has declared “there’s a lot to say” about the photos that showed her kissing her married co-star, Dominic West.

Lily James has broken her silence on the photos of her and her married co-star Dominic West kissing, revealing “there’s a lot to say”.

James, 32, and West, 51, who is married to Irish landscape designer Catherine FitzGerald, made headlines last year when they werespotted cosying up together in Rome.

The two – who were filming the miniseries The Pursuit Of Love in England – were photographed canoodling all over the Italian capital, with an eyewitness telling Page Six at the time, “(He) couldn’t resist kissing her neck and stroking her.”

“I’m not really willing to talk about that,” the British actress told the Guardian when asked about their alleged fling. “There is a lot to say, but not now, I’m afraid.”

Following the drama, West fled back to his wife to stage a photo shoot with her outside their home, kissing and showing off a handwritten note insisting their marriage was fine.

“Our marriage is strong and we’re very much still together,” read the note, signed by both West and FitzGerald. “Thank you.”

A few months later, they continued to put up a united front by sharing a Christmas card from Ireland’s Glin Castle, which belongs to FitzGerald’s family.

James, meanwhile, cancelled all of her press appearances after the photos went viral, seemingly to avoid any questioning about her alleged affair with West.

The Rebecca star ultimately moved on from West, as she was spotted kissing rocker Michael Shuman in February.

The Wire alum and FitzGerald have been married since 2010 and have four children together. West also shares one child with ex Polly Astor.
