Dominic West and Lily James could face sanctions after photos show them breaking Italy’s Covid rules during their ill-fated trip to Rome

Dominic West and Lily James could face official sanctions in Italy after they were pictured breaking the country’s tough Covid rules.

The 51-year-old star of The Affair has faced a media storm since he was snapped allegedly kissing Downton Abbey star Lily James, 31, while they spent time in Rome together.

The pair were photographed courting more controversy after they took a tandem ride on an e-scooter.

The pair wore face masks as Lily rode up front, checking her mobile phone, as Dominic reached around her from behind as they appeared cosy while nipping through the streets of Rome.
