DAISY May Cooper has revealed her shock at her own appearance after a staggering weight loss while filming her hit BBC Comedy.
The second season of Am I Being Unreasonable? will return to our screens in just a few days.
In the show, Daisy plays Nic, a mum stuck in a depressing marriage grieving a loss she can’t share with anyone.
Selin Hizli plays Jen who arrives in Nic’s life as a kindred spirit and school mum, but both are concealing secrets.
Season 2 will begin where Series 1 ended and the synopsis asks the question: “Has Daisy May Cooper’s Nic actually got away with murder, and has she has raised her son Ollie in her own murky footsteps?
It continues: “Kicked out of the family home for brotherly love – loving the wrong brother – Nic is reduced to sharing a caravan with her not so trustworthy best friend Jen.
“Nic’s husband Dan has taken up roller-blading to channel his mid-life crisis.
“Shunned at the school gates and cast as the witch at the school re-enactment, Nic is experiencing hallucinations. Or is someone playing tricks on her?”
Daisy May is reunited with her co-star and co-creator Selin, as well as key cast members including Lenny Rush and Dustin Demri-Burns.
Speaking to The Sun TV Magazine, Daisy May reflected on how she looked in the previous series and said: “It was a bit mad as since we filmed the last series and this series.
“I’ve had my lips done and lost about ten stone so in those flashbacks, we were just killing ourselves laughing as we don’t even look the same people. But it was fun.”
Despite facing abuse when she revealed her slimmer figure in 2017, Daisy has continued to show off her remarkable weight loss this year.

Daisy told Grazia Magazine: “I’ve had some messages like, “Well, now you’ve lost the weight you’re not funny any more.” What the f***? Why do women have to be f***ing fat to be funny?”

I champion anybody. I think everybody should be happy with their body. But I wasn’t.”
Charlie Cooper, Daisy May’s real life brother, is also set to make an appearance in the new series of Am I Being Unreasonable?
His role is still under wraps but did Daisy May force him to take part in the show?
“The funny thing is we share the same agent – and the same mum – so you can’t exactly say no!
“I had to put him in a mullet. The funny thing is, actually, he kept dropping the accent – he’s not very good at a Dutch accent.”
She explained how because of that, she had to rewrite the script for him and make it out that he wasn’t really Dutch.
She elaborated with a laugh: “So we had to try to write that in later on, that he’s not really f***ing Dutch, just because he’s bad at the accent!”
When asked if it was a laugh having her brother on set Daisy May joked: “I don’t know. I’m doing him a favour I think, I’m more successful.
“No, it was fine. How is he? Have you seen him?
“No, he was amazing! I mean, he’s always f***ing funny, you can see him in those Argos adverts as that f***ing dinosaur – they’ve really f***ng strung that out, haven’t they?
