Daisy May Cooper claims she’s being haunted by ghost of former co-star who ‘lifted the duvet off her bed’
SHE was left heartbroken when her This Country co-star Michael ‘Slugs’ Sleggs passed away after a battle with heart problems in 2019.
So having her home plagued by ghosts doesn’t worry Daisy May Cooper, who says she is actually comforted because she believes it is her pal haunting her.
Speaking ahead of the release of her book, Hexy Bitch: Tales From My Life, The Afterlife, And Beyond, Daisy told Radio Times: “There was banging at the bedroom door.
“Before that the duvet had lifted off the bed.
“I’m sure it was Slugs.
“I made him promise he would come back, and he would definitely do it because he knows it would freak me out, and he’d find that hilarious.”
Meanwhile, Daisy suffered a career blow earlier this year when her HBO show Rain Dogs was axed here and in the US after one series, due to disappointing ratings.
The series, a joint venture with the BBC, stars Daisy as struggling single mum Costello Jones, who works in a strip club.
But despite acclaim from critics, the comedy drama created by British writer Cash Carraway will not be returning.
A TV insider said: “It’s disappointing for Daisy as Rain Dogs was a good opportunity to make some inroads in the US.
“But unfortunately, it didn’t rate too well on both sides of the pond.
“So the production company behind it, Sid Gentle, agreed with Cash it was time to move on.
“Some critics praised the writing but ultimately it just didn’t pull up any trees.
The eight-parter aired on HBO and BBC One in March last year and earned Cash a place on the 2023 Bafta Breakthrough list.
