Aimee Lou Wood hails Daddy Issues co-stars as 'funniest people in the world'
Aimee Lou Wood has showered praise on her Daddy Issues co-stars.
Aimee Lou Wood works with the "funniest people in the world" on Daddy Issues.
The 31-year-old actress stars alongside the likes of David Morrissey, Susan Lynch, David Fynn, Sharon Rooney and Sarah Hadland in the hit comedy series, and Aimee has revealed that she loves working with her co-stars.
She told the BBC: "The biggest challenge I find on Daddy Issues consistently is just not laughing when these people, who I think are the funniest people in the world, are doing something ridiculous. I have to try not to break character and laugh.
"When I’m doing an emotional scene where I need to cry or breakdown, that’s fine, it’s the trying not to laugh at David Fynn or David Morrissey who would just pull a face and I would break down laughing. In series one, I couldn't get through a scene with Sharon Rooney without just cracking up.
"Some days I just cannot keep a straight face, so that's always my biggest challenge on this job, is trying to be grounded and the anchor and not just crack up laughing."
Amiee has also teased details of the new series, revealing that her on-screen character enjoys a "fun adventure".
The actress - who starred in The White Lotus earlier this year - said: "We go to a caravan park in Wales. That was a fun adventure, not quite the holiday that Gemma's been dreaming of when she's been sat exhausted with baby Sadie.
"She has dreams of a spa and total relaxation, but instead she’s in a very tiny caravan in Rhyl with her granddad, sticky tables and plums used as garnishes on fish and chips. Not really living the luxury or pampering that she needs but Malcolm is trying his best which is sweet, she loves his efforts but it’s not holi-bobs that she wants.
"We also go to the library, which doesn’t sound very interesting, but Gemma attends a baby class that has a heartthrob teacher who all the mums are obsessed with. There's also a musical number with David Morrissey doing some fantastic dancing."
