LILY James dodged talking about her scandalous snog with Dominic West by revealing her “huge tantrum” on a recent film set.
The 31-year-old has been cancelling appearances ever since she was snapped getting intimate with the actor.
But she caught up with Mark Wright on his Heart Radio show last night and told an amusing story about losing her temper on Netflix show Rebecca.
Revealing she’s a Spice Girls superfan, Lily said: “The night of going to the Spice Girls gig they kept me later than they should have.
“They went overtime and I have never thrown a tantrum on set before, and I was livid.
“I thought I was going to miss the Spice Girls!”
She added: “I love Emma Bunton so much.
“She met me back stage and it was one of the greatest days of my life.
“I was with my two best friends and my other best friend lives in New York and Emma did a video with us and was like ‘Hi Danni’ and honestly us four best friends have known each other since we were eleven, it was one of the greatest moments of our life. I adore her.
Her co-star Armie Hammer said Lily had even broken down in tears about meeting her celebrity girl crush the next day.
Armie said: “Lily came to work the next day after the Spice Girls concert and while in the makeup trailer talking to her makeup artist about the fact that she got a video with Emma, she started crying.”
Lily, 31, had refused all interviews since her and Dominic’s cosy relationship was exposed.
Defending Lily on the show, radio presenter Mark described her as “always so wonderful,” adding: “She is one of the sweetest women on the planet.”
Last week she was spotted kissing her The Pursuit of Love co-star while on a romantic break in Rome following her split from Doctor Who star Matt Smith for a second time.
He then put on a toe-curling display of togetherness with his wife Catherine FitzGerald, 49, to insist they were still together and in love.
Dominic confirmed that landscape gardener Catherine has since travelled alone to Ireland on a “work trip” and was staying at the family’s Glin Castle home.
He added his marriage to his wife of 10 years “is completely fine”.
Meanwhile Lily has admitted she “makes mistakes all the time” and owning up to sometimes making the wrong choices in life.

“It’s important for us to rebel all the time,” she told Harper’s Bazaar.
“I think I make mistakes all the time – that’s what life is about.
“I would never want to run away from a situation or be too afraid to act.
“It’s better to throw yourself in and make mistakes with an open heart.
“You can recover from your mistakes and learn from them.”
