Aimee Lou Wood and Walton Goggins address feud rumours together

After weeks of intense speculation, Aimee Lou Wood and Walton Goggins have unequivocally put the feud rumours to bed.
The White Lotus co-stars who played doomed lovers Chelsea and Rick in season three of the hit HBO series saw the high-stakes drama of the fictional Thailand resort bleed into real life after fans started wondering if there was a rift between the pair.
After castmate Jason Isaacs alluded to 'drama' on the set, people started fuelling the fire by pointing out Walton had unfollowed Aimee on Instagram and praised the very SNL sketch which the Sex Education star had called out as 'mean' and 'unfunny' for mocking the appearance of her teeth (he later deleted his comments).
As rumours whirled, just this week, The Fallout star shut down an interview with The Times when asked to address the feud multiple times. 'There is no conversation to be had about that. Sharing politics on social media — it's in a vacuum,' he said.
After being asked a final time, the 53-year-old added: 'What the f**k, Ed [Potton]! Come on, buddy. Wow.'
Now, in their first joint interview with Variety since the falling out rumours reached their pinnacle, they have cleared the record once and for all.
Walton, who has spent many of the past weeks working intensive hours on the Fallout set, shared: 'There is no feud. I adore, I love this woman madly, and she is so important to me.'
Then looking at Aimee, added: 'This is Goldie Hawn. This is Meg Ryan. She can do anything, and she will. You watch what the next 20 years of her experience will be. I'll be on an island, I think Greece. But she's special. There is no feud.
'She is love and I know that I am that to her. We care about each other very deeply.'
And explained that he would 'never' speak for both of them, hence he didn't discuss the issue with The Times.
Specifically, Walton claimed that The Times interviewer had tried to compare his and Aimee's teeth and asked if they had bonded over them on set, which left him 'disgusted and flabbergasted'.
Aimee echoed the shock, saying: 'How horrible!'
The 31-year-old star then said Instagram was 'irrelevant' and neither of them 'gave a s***e', encouraging people to discuss the show's storyline and characters instead.
'Eventually I just started to sit back and watch these people making something out of absolutely nothing,' Aimee added while Walton called himself a 'grown-a** man'.
Then, he explained that he has always found the end of intense projects of this nature difficult (especially considering his personal ties to this one) and had let Aimee know he was 'processing saying goodbye'.
By the end of their chat, Walton had followed Aimee on Instagram once more.
He concluded by calling the whole situation 'ridiculous'. 'It's just a part of me just saying goodbye to this character so that now Aimee and I will be friends for f**king ever,' he said.
As for what's next for Goggins, in a recent interview with Metro, he discussed his ethos with allowing himself to embrace 'the unknown'. More Trending
'I didn't know where my life was going before Fallout. I didn't know before White Lotus. And I suppose, at my age, that's the best place to be: comfortable in the unknown,' he said.
As for the Bafta winner, she has plenty of projects in the pipeline, including a new series with Adolescence's breakout star Owen Cooper called Film Club and a second season of her hit show, Daddy Issues.

I'll be dead honest and admit it's been way more challenging than I ever expected it to be," Abi wrote in the caption of the Instagram post.

Coronation Street star shares loved-up snap as she confirms relationship

Corrie favourite Cait Fitton finally gave fans a glimpse of the new boyfriend she soft-launched on Instagram, as she shares images of her sweet birthday decorations to celebrate Coronation Street actress Cait Fitton has made her new relationship Instagram official, after sharing a birthday post for her mystery boyfriend. The 23-year-old, who plays Corrie's Lauren Bolton, teased her new partner a few weeks back, telling fans her "boyfriend" had bought her a Jellycat toy. But now, she's taken her new romance to the next level, having shared a photo on her story showing some silver '23' balloons, as well as a photo of what appears to be her boyfriend. She sweetly wrote: "A day celebrating you," following her message with a white loveheart emoji. ‌ Her previous story post showed a collage of images of her with her partner, with Cait writing: "Happy birthday to my man." She added: "Thank you for blessing my life." ‌ The snaps showed them posing for a selfie, as well as a fun photo of them glammed up posing together. Another photo showed them holding hands, but she's still not named her new partner. Cait, who has been a regular on the cobbles since 2022, recently opened up about the difficulties of fame, admitting it took her a "long time" to get used to being recognised. Wanting to keep her relationship private in its early stages seems a natural choice for the star. She told the Mirror: "It's taken me a long time to have thick skin, it's not an overnight process. We are normal people outside of filming, but everyone sees the characters as actual people. That can be really hard, especially with Lauren, who is a complex character." Cait has been getting used to working without her close pal Paddy Bever, who played on-screen boyfriend Max Turner, after his character was arrested and imprisoned for arson. She added: "It's been really hard without Paddy. ‌ "My journey started with him, and his time ended with me. It was strange to wrap my head around doing scenes without him. I miss working with Paddy." Although the pair, who even went on holiday together in 2023, no longer see each other at work, they are still good friends. Cait added: "I am in touch with him. We're both very busy, but we do catch up. We are in need of an in-person catch-up soon." While Cait's personal life is settled and content, her character Lauren is about to have her world turned upside down, after the actress teased an upcoming plotline. Having overcome abuse at the hands of Joel Deering, which ended in his death, and welcoming her baby son Frankie, Lauren's had plenty of trauma to deal with. ‌ But just as things are looking up for the troubled barmaid, it's all about to go downhill, according to Cait. She explained: "She's at a really stable point of her life. She has a job at the Rovers behind the bar, and she's learning the craft. She's trying to build relationships. That's where the party comes in.' Lauren's chance to let her hair down quickly descends into chaos when Aadi (Adam Hussain) and Bernie (Jane Hazelgrove) decide to throw a midsummer party. When Lauren arrives with Dylan, Brody and Betsy, she realises Brody has brought some LSD. ‌ What begins as a chance to let loose quickly spirals into disaster for Lauren. The chaos kicks off when Aadi (Adam Hussain), nudged by Bernie (Jane Hazlegrove), throws a midsummer party. Cait revealed: "Lauren doesn't even know what is going on. She has anxiety over whether or not she should even be there because she doesn't know anybody apart from Betsy. She seems out of place, though she tries her best to fit in.' When Cait accidentally takes the hallucinogenic drug, the night goes south. Cait added: "She has a traumatic experience with it. We see a side of her that we haven't seen for months. "Her trauma is going to affect her future. It's going to be a rollercoaster. Everybody at that party - their lives are going to be changed. I don't know how she'll go through it."

And Lineker launched a staunch defence of his employee in a since-deleted Instagram post slamming McGregor's antics. It read: "Thought about this post a lot. "This is my very close friend who has worked at Ocean for eight years, he has the most special heart and in all of the years that I've known him he has never raised his voice once. 'He took two punches from Conor McGregor in Pacha for absolutely no reason. 'Let me introduce you to Joe Gooomez (sic). He took the punches like a champion.
