Aimee Lou Wood took a leap into the unknown by relocating to Thailand for a hefty seven months to shoot the latest season of The White Lotus.The star, known for her role in Sex Education, confessed that her usual jaunts don't go beyond the UK's West Country; nevertheless, the chance to join the cast of the popular dark comedy series was irresistible. "I'm one of the least adventurous people in the world," she revealed. "My adventures are to places like Cornwall and Glastonbury.

But having this job means that I was pushed to leave my comfort zone, which is good for me." Aimee said of the location: "It was so beautiful, beyond beautiful, like nothing I've ever seen before.

It was so hard to even process and fathom that it was real. I would wake up, open my curtains and see actual paradise. I'm so grateful because I probably never would have taken myself to Thailand, and I would have missed out on an experience that was so special.

I'm so glad that I got this job and had this experience, because it forces me to explore more, and I need a bit of forcing." Aimee was a massive fan of the first two series of the show before she was cast as British holidaymaker Chelsea in the third season of The White Lotus. "I am an absolute super fan," she chuckles. "I was always pondering where I could slot into the White Lotus world because I wanted to be part of it.Then came the audition for Chelsea, and I thought, 'Oh my God, this might actually be my chance!' But I was terrified, as I'd never auditioned for something I was already a fan of before.
