Who is Daisy May Cooper?
Daisy May Cooper is a 34-year-old actress and writer, specialising in comedy.
She was raised in Gloucestershire then moved to London to study at Rada, a renowned drama school.
In 2018 she won the Bafta TV Award for Best Female Comedy Performance for playing Kerry Mucklowe in This Country, a show that she co-wrote with her brother, Charlie Cooper.
The actress famously wore a Swindon Town FC dress to the awards – as her character Kerry is a massive fan.
In 2019 her dress made headlines again as she wore a striking bin-bag frock on the red carpet.
She told Lorraine Kelly she spent the money she would have used for a dress on a donation to a food bank instead after revealing how money was tight when she started out as an actress.
Daisy comically revealed on a BBC show to Romesh Ranganathan that many years ago when she was struggling to pay the rent, she unwittingly auditioned for a job at a strip club – only realising when it was too late to back out of performing a dance routine.
What TV shows has she been in?
Daisy doesn’t have many TV credits as This Country was her breakout show.
The successful mockumentary made fun out of country life as Daisy and Charlie took inspiration from their own childhoods in rural England while writing the script.
Elsewhere, she’s been in Doc Martin, The Wrong Mans, Avenue 5 and is a contestant in series 10 of Taskmaster.
She also had a role in the film The Personal History Of David Copperfield.
In July 2020 heavily pregnant Daisy hit back at cruel trolls after they criticised her appearance on Celebrity Gogglebox after being labelled a “troll”.
Daisy poked fun at the cruel comment, sharing a screenshot of the message before cutting to a video of herself dancing to the song Trolls Just Want To Have Fun from the film Trolls 2.
She captioned the video: “Haters gonna hate, but I’m going to carry on letting my hooters swing.”
Is she married and does she have children?
In 2019, Daisy married her long-term partner Will Weston in the Cotswolds.
Together the couple have two children, a daughter named Pip and son called Jack.
After the birth of their son in 2020, she made a rare emotional – though still comical – post about hubby Will.
On Instagram she shared: “The love that I have for this fella is unreal.
“Advice for yer ladies, marry someone that you fancy, whos kind, that you can fart Infront of, who makes you laugh and isn’t squeamish of a dirty sanitary pad.”
She also shared on Instagram that the birth of Jack had been “traumatic”.

She posted: “Cannot thank @deliverysuitegrh for all they are doing for our little bubba and me.
“Its been quite a traumatic few days and they have gone above and beyond.”
Jack’s middle name is Michael, in tribute to the late Michael Sleggs who played Slugs in This Country.
