Lily James has admitted there is ‘a lot to say’ about her Dominic West scandal, but insisted now is not the time to divulge.
In October, co-stars Lily and married Dominic, 51, were caught enjoying what appeared to be a racy weekend in Rome, leading to his wife Catherine FitzGerald assuring the public they were fine – but banning him from working with Lily.Â
The Downton Abbey alum, 32, is now blazing the promo trail for their new series The Pursuit Of Love alone and in an interview with The Guardian, she declined to discuss the media storm – but admitted there is in fact much to discuss.Â
Oh! Lily James has admitted there is ‘a lot to say’ about her Dominic West scandal, but insisted now is not the time to divulge
In her interview with the paper, The Guardian asked Lily: ‘You found yourself at the centre of a media storm last autumn [due to rumours of an affair with Pursuit of Love castmate Dominic West]. What was that like?’
It was then she came over bashful and declined to discuss, saying: ‘Ach, I’m not really willing to talk about that. There is a lot to say, but not now, I’m afraid.’
Last month, a first look trailer for their drama series, where the two grew close before their scandalous trip away, was released ahead of its upcoming release .
The Emily Mortimer novel adaptation follows the story of Linda Radlett – played by Lily – and her hunt to find love and marriage, while Dominic plays her Uncle Matthew.

Wow! The Downton Abbey alum, 32, is currently blazing the promo trail for their new series The Pursuit Of Love and in an interview with The Guardian, she declined to discuss the media storm – but admitted there is in fact much to discuss
The production was filmed between July and October last year, with Lily and Dominic’s Italy trip taking place shortly after filming on the period drama wrapped.
It is believed that part of Dominic and Catherine’s agreement is that he won’t do any promo with Lily for the series, in a bid to save their marriage – which BBC bosses have apparently reluctantly agreed to.
The trailer for the BBC adaptation of the novel opens with a very glamorous Lily wearing a turquoise silk dress and she can be heard saying: ‘It’s not sexual, it’s a meeting of minds.’

In fact, so humiliating were the pictures of her actor husband West cavorting with James that Catherine is said to have banned him from speaking with the actress as part of a peace deal struck between the couple. Â
Dominic finally won forgiveness for the infamous photographs that showed him flirting outrageously with Lily while on the secret trip.  Â

However, the MoS was told there are some strict new rules to guide Dominic’s future behaviour.
‘He has promised never to see, speak or work with Lily again,’ said a friend. Also, there are to be no joint promotional interviews for the forthcoming TV adaptation of Nancy Mitford’s novel.
This, apparently, has caused surprise among BBC bosses who hope the series will be a ratings triumph, having scheduled it to be screened in the primetime Sunday 9pm slot occupied by Line Of Duty prior to Sunday’s finale.
It is thought that despite initial protestations, the BBC has agreed to the Wests’ request.
