Fans of The White Lotus star Aimee Lou Wood are only just realising that she has a younger sister who is famous online – and has a very similar appearance to the TV star

Fans of Aimee Lou Wood have been left gobsmacked to realise they had been following her famous sister on social media – without realising the pair are siblings. Former Sex Education star Aimee, 31, saw her star power skyrocket this year thanks to a heartbreaking performance in season three of HBO’s hit murder mystery show The White Lotus.

But the TV star is not the only famous person within the Wood family – as her younger sister Emily has a hugely successful career of her own. Social media fans with an interest in make-up may already be aware that the 28-year-old shares videos and advice under her platform emilywoodmakeup.

But many had not made the connection between the two and are only now getting wise to the fact Aimee and Emily are sisters. Minds were blown this week when the You Beauty podcast made clear that the duo don’t just have a passing resemblance for each other.

The podcast declared via a social media post: “You might’ve seen @emilywoodmakeup on your FYP doing a full glam look with just a single lip liner. But did you know her sister is The White Lotus star @aimeelouwood? The Wood sisters are out here thriving. ”

One astonished fan responded to the post to write: “No way! How cool. I love her makeup vids. ” Another said: “I had no idea they are so cute the both of them. ”

While a third follower commented: “I thought it was a bit but they’re actually sisters lol. ” Emily has seen her own star power rise in recent weeks as she defended her sister after Saturday Night Live broadcast a cruel sketch that mocked her appearance.

Earlier this month, the iconic American comedy show sparked fury when they mocked Aimee’s teeth in a White Lotus parody sketch. The actress herself hit out at the show via her Instagram Stories where she said she didn’t mind being made fun of “when it’s clever and in good spirits” but added there “must be a cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap way” to do so.

She went on: “I did find the ‘SNL’ thing mean and unfunny xo. (Felt righteous, might delete later). ” She then added in another upload: “Such a shame cuz I had such a great time watching it a couple of weeks ago.

“Yes, take the p**s for sure – that’s what the show is about – but there must be a cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap way? ” And she then called out comedian Sarah Sherman’s ‘Mancunian’ accent in the sketch, as she said: “At least get the accent right, seriously, I respect accuracy even if it’s mean. ”

Aimee was defended by her sister at the time – who lead the chorus of online voices throwing their support behind the White Lotus star. Taking to social media following the incident, the make-up expert wrote: “My [world] @aimeelouwood. She is out here personifying the word POWERHOUSE. The admiration I have for this woman is nuts. Beyond comprehension.

“JUST like my feelings of deep animalistic protectiveness over her. The greatest big sister. My best human on the planet. Her authenticity and originality is incomparable. My god we are really madly blessed to experience life on earth at the same time as her. “

Aimee Lou later shared a gesture by Sarah Sherman on Instagram. Taking to her Stories, she uploaded a photo of a bouquet of flowers sent to her from the comedian, 32. She captioned the post: “Thank you for the beautiful flowers @sarahsquirm,” while sharing a number of emojis, including a pink love heart.

Aimee has proudly talked about her notable teeth – opening up about them on a recent appearance on ITV’s The Jonathan Ross show. Fellow guest Stephen Fry, started a conversation, saying: “You’ve obviously made an enormous number of people happy by not changing your teeth. You know they’re notable like my bent nose. You obviously had a time when some people would have told you, ‘Oh, you should get those corrected, ’ but you stood up for them. “

Aimee jokingly responded: “I can’t believe the impact my teeth are having. The Americans can’t believe it”.

Spencer Matthews and Vogue Williams have slashed £4. 7m home price amid growing signs of strain in their marriage – including ‘tiffs’ and failing to mention their recent anniversary of social media

Spencer Matthews and Vogue Williams have never shied away from sharing the ups and downs of their marriage. From the Made in Chelsea star’s drinking problem that nearly derailed their wedding day to intimate details about their bedroom life, no topic seems off-limits.

Having met in 2017 on The Jump, the couple quickly knew they were meant for each other, tying the knot just a year later. Vogue’s marriage to Brian McFadden had just ended when Spencer asked her out, only to be initially turned down, but she eventually gave in.

The TV star, 36, had once opened up about how he knew the Irish presenter, 39, was the “one.” Back in 2018, he popped the question to the star and shared with fans how much he admires his other half, and how their relationship grew over time.

Spencer gushed: “I have a huge amount of respect for her. We started off as mates, and knew we’d be friends after The Jump. ” He continued to tell Heat Magazine at the time: “The falling in love thing came later. But she is my best friend. In the evenings, I look forward to seeing her more than anything else. We live together and I respect what she does, how she is, how she does everything, and I’d like to think she respects me. ”

“I’ve known she was the one for a while now, and we’re very happily engaged. ” While the proposal went smoothly up until that point, Spencer later opened up about how his “selfish” drinking habits nearly ruined his and his wife’s big day.

In an interview with The Sunday Times back in December 2021, Matthews revealed that he almost left Vogue at the altar after getting carried away on a booze-fuelled morning adventure with James Middleton, Kate Middleton’s younger brother, the day of their wedding.

“I was still drinking when we got married in 2018 up in Glen Affric in Scotland, so there was plenty of champagne and whisky at the wedding,” Spencer, who is now sober, said. I took a paddleboard out on the loch in the morning with James Middleton. We mistimed it and only got in 15 minutes before the service.”

The couple later became parents to their three children, Theodore, now six, Gigi, four, and Otto, two – as well as running their own businesses. as well as running their own businesses. Spencer has hit own alcohol-free spirits company as well as his own podcast, while Vogue focuses on her fake tan business and her lucrative Fairy deal.

Spencer went on to open up about the changes he’s had to make in his life, especially since becoming a dad, saying: “I try my best to put the kids first.” Four years into their marriage, cracks started to show behind closed doors, with the couple clashing over their sex life. Vogue has openly admitted to fearing boredom in the bedroom – a fear she says could put real strain on their relationship.

“I’m married but I don’t want to ever get bored in the bedroom, and there’s loads of stuff to explore that we just don’t know about,” she said during her show with Joanne McNally, Joanne & Vogue’s Sex Drive.

“I won’t be married forever, we all know I enjoy a wedding,” she said. Meanwhile, a 2024 interview with The Times, Matthews admitted that his wife would rather keep their sex life out of the spotlight. To add to the pressure, the couple quietly reduced the price of their £4.7 million London home, as they prepare to move into a bigger home together. A close source told the Daily Mail: “There’s a lot going on with Vogue and Spencer at the moment. It’s a stressful situation for them.”

More recently, the couple failed to mark their wedding anniversary on social media, yet speculation around their relationship has heightened as they have admitted to having “tiffs” with each other. It comes following a confession Vogue made where she opened up about feeling that she’s the one pulling more weight at home.

She said: “In the nicest way possible, I would say I fix the broken radiator and I do the school run. I would say I do 80 per cent of what (goes on). We’ve actually been having a slight little tiff about that this morning, about the stuff that I do”. Cracking up, Vogue added: “I’ve had enough today”.

While Vogue had previously been in a relationship with Westlife’s Brian McFadden for three years before they split in 2017, Spencer had been romantically linked to his Made in Chelsea co-stars Louise Thompson, Stephanie Pratt, and Lauren Frazer-Hutton.

The reality show star previously revealed how he regretted screaming at Louise during their heated breakup that aired on TV, as he blamed his heavy drinking for the nature of their toxic relationship. Appearing on Elizabeth Day’s How To Fail podcast he explained: “I had broken up with Louise the night before and I told her that scene was about that and she came in steaming hot, screaming at me, breaking up with me instead and I thought, “oh this isn’t real anymore” so you have these crazy reactions. “

Spencer Matthews is appearing on The Great Celebrity Bake Off: Stand Up to Cancer on Sunday, April 20 at 8pm.
