Aimee Lou Wood Claps Back at SNL Teeth Joke

has poked fun at 's 'mean and unfunny' teeth parody about her as she is announced as the host of the UK spin-off.

The actress, 32, took aim at the original US version of comedy programme last year for their skit, which made fun of her teeth. 

Sarah Sherman had worn huge prosthetic teeth in her mouth as she did a cruel impression of Aimee.

However, it appears Aimee has wiped the slate clean as she has signed up to host this week's episode of the UK edition.

In a clip announcing her guest appearance, Aimee referenced her previous fallout with the show as she met with a handful of the cast on set and introduced herself.

She said: 'Hey guys, I cannot wait to get started, you know, especially after the whole "thing" in America with my teeth.

'It's gonna feel good to just wipe the slate clean.'

However, when she noticed they were covering their mouths, the Sex Education star suspected they all had fake teeth in. 

She jokingly ranted: 'Oh my god have you guys got fake teeth in? Wow, this is all just one big setup to humilate me then. I though SNL UK would be different, but I was wrong.'

The promotional clip ended as they revealed they were just hiding fake moustaches.

After she called out the skit about her teeth last year, Aimee later updated her follows to say HBO had apologised to her.

Speaking to BBC News about the controversy last September, Aimee said: 'I don't regret saying it because it was breaking a pattern, which is what I would usually do - what I did when I was younger and got bullied.'

Recalling when she saw the sketch, she thought: 'I have a choice here to go in and be embarrassed about it and just say "I didn't like that. It was mean".'

Sherman, also reached out to Aimee and sent her a bouquet of flowers.

Breaking her silence, she said: 'I was excited to play her because she’s so iconic, her character is so iconic, and I f***ing obviously never meant to hurt anyone’s feelings. 

'Never in a million years did I get into comedy to make anyone upset. I feel terrible that anyone would feel bad.'

When asked if the potential of upsetting people is something she has to think about more on the show, Sherman admitted, 'Totally.' 

She added: 'The show is in constant dialogue with culture as it’s happening, and it happens really fast. You have to be vigilant, you know what I mean?

'There are a lot of things out of your control. You’re playing a lot of different parts, you’re doing a lot of different roles that you’re not in control of,' Sherman added.

'A lot of the process of the show has been, to me—how am I answering this? Staying vigilant but also being a part of the show—that is your job.

'Being in conversation with everything popular culture, there’s such a danger there.

'Sometimes you just don’t realize how it comes across, but you’re put in a position to be engaging with it all the time, because you are a part of a show that’s interacting with culture and popular politics and popular whatever.

'As I get thrown more and more into the show, it’s just this other thing that I have to learn about.'

Earlier this month, SNL poked fun at Kanye West's ban from the UK with a sketch featuring its host that week, Jack Whitehall.

The rapper, 48, who goes by the name Ye, had his visa application cancelled by Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood.

She banned him from entering Britain to perform at Wireless Festival in July on the grounds his presence would 'not be conducive to the public good'. 

In the clip, Jack could be seen looking at a corkboard which has cards to keep track of each week's hosts and musical guest.

The comedian, 37, spots Ye on the board as both the presenter and performer before he quickly pulls both cards from the board.
