MARK Wright has thrown his support behind “sweetest” Lily James as she avoids talking about the Dominic West kissing scandal in a new interview.
The former Towie star praised the actress after she appeared on his Heart radio show on Friday.
Lily linked up with Mark via video chat alongside co-star Armie Hammer to promote her new Netflix movie Rebecca, based on the Daphne du Maurier novel of the same name but refused to talk about kiss-gate.
The star dodged talking about her scandalous snog with Dominic West by revealing her “huge tantrum” on a recent film set.
Mark, 33, threw his support behind Lily by sharing clips from the interview and penning a gushing comment.
“One of the sweetest women on the planet @lilyjamesofficial” Mark wrote.
And sharing a kind comment about Arnie, he added: “And one of the smoothest of men @armiehammer on the show tonight.”
Her chat with Mark came after the actress cancelled lots of social appearances after 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.”
