Aimee Lou Wood has immediately confronted the elephant in the room as she prepares to host Saturday Night Live UK this weekend.<\/p>\n
In a promo video ahead of the show, the Sex Education and White Lotus star roasted a 2025 SNL sketch, which she described at the time as \u201cmean and unfunny.\u201d<\/a> The NBC series used a parody of\u00a0White Lotus\u00a0Season 3 to poke fun at Wood\u2019s character Chelsea, with Sarah Sherman in a pair of buck teeth.<\/p>\n More from Deadline<\/p>\n In the SNL UK promo, Wood is met by cast members covering their mouths. \u201cOh my God, I\u2019m so excited,\u201d she ethuses. \u201cI cannot wait to get started, you know, especially after the whole thing in America with the teeth. It\u2019s gonna feel good to just wipe the slate clean.\u201d<\/p>\n Realising the cast were protecting their mouths, she adds: \u201cWait, why are you all covering your mouths?\u201d Ayoade Bamgboye replies: \u201cJust doing a big yawn.\u201d<\/p>\n Wood says: \u201cHave you guys got fake teeth in? Wow, wow. This is all one big set up to humiliate me then. I thought SNL UK would be different, but I was wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAimee wait. We all grew big glorious moustaches,\u201d Bamgboye explains, before the castmates remove their hands to reveal their facial hair. \u201cWe don\u2019t want you to feel left out, we\u2019re sorry,\u201d Celeste Dring says.<\/p>\n Wood\u2019s decision to speak out against SNL went viral last year, and she later said she had no regrets about the situation.<\/p>\n Wood told BBC News<\/a> that she made a choice to \u201cgo in\u201d and tell her followers how she felt about the impression. \u201cI don\u2019t regret saying it because it was breaking a pattern, which is what I would usually do \u2013 what I did when I was younger and got bullied,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n The actress added: \u201cNo matter what chaos came from it, I\u2019m still happy for me and my personal journey that I said something.\u201d<\/p>\n Best of Deadline<\/p>\n Sign up for Deadline’s Newsletter<\/a>.
