LILY James is moving to Hollywood as she escapes the storm clouds brewing over the Dominic West kissing scandal.
The 31-year-old actress is said to be relocating to Los Angeles after her romantic life stole the spotlight in recent months.
Lily found herself in hot water when she was photographed looking loved up with married actor Dominic West, 51, while holidaying in Rome.
The pair were seen kissing and holding hands on the trip, having grown close after filming TV drama The Pursuit of Love together.
