'Smitten' Aimee Lou Wood was seen passionately embracing Happy Valley star Adam Long as the  'new couple' cuddle up on coffee date a week last Saturday in London

EXCLUSIVE SHOCKER! Happy Valley Heartthrob Adam Long Spotted Locking Lips with Aimee Lou Wood on London Coffee Date

The usually tight-lipped actor, 34, was caught in a romantic clinch with his new beau, 31-year-old Aimee Lou Wood, as they sipped lattes and giggled like schoolchildren at a trendy café in the heart of London. Insiders close to the pair claim their whirlwind romance has been brewing since last November when they met on set while filming the upcoming BBC Three series, Film Club.

The chemistry between Aimee and Adam was palpable as they cosied up together, sharing flirtatious glances and tender touches that left onlookers aflutter. Their PDA-packed coffee date marked their first public appearance as a couple, sending shockwaves through the showbiz world.

So, what's behind this new romance? Sources suggest Aimee and Adam have been secretly dating for months, fuelled by their on-screen chemistry in Film Club. The series, penned by Aimee, follows Evie (Aimee), who sets up a film club with her best friend Noa (Nabhaan Rizwaan). As the story unfolds, Evie and Adam's character, Josh, find themselves navigating complicated emotions amidst the eccentricity of their family home.

AIMEE AND ADAM: A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN?

The couple's undeniable spark on screen has now spilled over into real life. Insiders reveal Aimee was "thrilled" to be paired with Adam on set, praising his professionalism and kindness. In fact, she went as far as liking all of Adam's social media posts since their Film Club casting was announced last November.

While the pair have not commented on their relationship status, they looked incredibly close as they cosied up to one another on their day out

Adam, known for his role as convict Lewis Whippey in Happy Valley, has been tight-lipped about his love life until now. His last known relationship was with co-star Connor Swindells, but that romance fizzled out two years ago after Aimee and Connor split.

AIMEE'S BLUNT TAKE ON RELATIONSHIPS

In a candid interview with Grazia, Aimee opened up about her previous relationships, revealing she finds it challenging to maintain her sense of self when in a relationship. "When I'm in a relationship, I find it hard to keep my independence," she confessed. "I'm very impressionable."

It's believed the pair met last year working on their upcoming BBC Three series, written by Aimee, in which they play a couple

Her words come as no surprise, given the tumultuous romance between Aimee and Connor Swindells. The couple's split was reportedly amicable, with Aimee noting that relationships don't always have a clear-cut "goodie" or "baddie." Instead, it's often the dynamic between two personalities that can result in unhealthy themes.

SNL SKETCH SHOCKER

Just weeks ago, Aimee was at the centre of a media storm after a Saturday Night Live sketch poked fun at her teeth. The actress took to Instagram to express her disappointment, calling out the "cheap" joke and praising fans for standing by her side. She wrote: "I am not thin-skinned... But the joke was about fluoride. I have big gap teeth, not bad teeth."

The backlash against SNL came as no surprise, given Aimee's growing fame following her role in HBO hit The White Lotus. However, it seems she's taken the criticism in stride, using the opportunity to connect with fans and spark important conversations about body positivity.

FILM CLUB AND FUTURE PROJECTS

As Aimee navigates her blossoming romance with Adam, she's also gearing up for the release of Film Club on BBC iPlayer and BBC Three later this year. The series promises to be a witty and emotional exploration of love and family, tackling complex themes through the lens of Evie's eccentric family.

Aimee's not one to rest on her laurels; this year will see her star in crime-thriller film Sweet Dreams, pitched as "a British Fargo." The actress has proven herself to be a versatile talent, effortlessly switching between drama and comedy with ease.

ADAM'S HAPPY VALLEY DAYS

Before his whirlwind romance with Aimee, Adam made waves with his BAFTA-winning performance in Happy Valley. His portrayal of convict Lewis Whippey left fans on the edge of their seats as he aided Tommy Lee Royce (James Norton) in a heart-stopping kidnapping plot.

Adam's most recent TV role was in ITV drama Protection, where he reunited with Happy Valley co-star Siobhan Finneran. His upcoming projects promise to keep audiences hooked, but it seems his new romance with Aimee Lou Wood is the real showstopper.
