Toxic Town and Daddy Issues star Aimee Lou Wood nominated for prestigious Royal Television Society award

Aimee Lou Wood has been nominated for the Female Comedy Performance award for her brilliant role in Daddy Issues.

The BAFTA-winning Sex Education, Toxic Town and White Lotus star features as Gemma, a young woman who finds herself unexpectedly pregnant. Ending up in a flat-share with her father Malcolm (played by David Morrissey) in Stockport, series one saw the pair navigate the tricky waters ahead and create a strong bond - with many laughs along the way.

The hilarious show bagged the title of Best New TV Sitcom at the recent Comedy.co.uk Awards, and was renewed for a second season after being named as the biggest comedy series for BBC Three since the channel’s relaunch.

Stockport-born Wood won the Best Female Comedy Performance BAFTA in 2021, for her role as Aimee Gibbs in Sex Education and is now up against Michelle de Swarte (Spent) and Sophie Willan (Alma's Not Normal) for the RTS’ equivalent.

Reacting to the news of Aimee’s nomination, on-screen dad David Morrissey said: “Get in!”

Comedian Tom Allen will host the RTS awards ceremony on March 25 at JW Marriott Grosvenor House Hotel in London.
