After four years, Daisy May Cooper has announced her replacement and she will step down from her starring role in a popular TV show.
It’s been almost a decade since Daisy May Cooper found fame alongside her brother Charlie Cooper when they created the hit sitcom This Country. And since then, Daisy has gone on to even further success with Am I Being Unreasonable? whilst also making appearances on shows such as The Masked Singer and Ru Paul’s Drag Race.
Since 2021, she has acted as Team Captain on Never Mind the Buzzcocks and featured alongside the likes of host Greg Davies, and Noel Fielding has appeared as a fellow team captain. But whilst her co-stars have all been confirmed to have signed on for the next series of Sky’s music-themed comedy panel game show, Daisy has quit and will be replaced by Sophie Wilan for series five, who previously stepped in when the comedienne was on maternity leave.
When its most recent batch of episodes airs this autumn, Jamali Maddix will make her return as a regular panellist. The series, which was revived by Sky in 2021 following a nearly 20-year run on BBC Two, will feature themes spanning the nineties, noughties, as well as girl bands, boy bands, and rock groups.
Viewers can also expect to see a host of celebrity guests taking part when the cult classic returns to screens for its latest outing. It comes after Gary Lineker ‘signs a huge deal with ITV to host new show’ after BBC exit.
Phil Edgar-Jones, director of Sky Arts and Entertainment, stated: “It’s the starriest line-up you could hope for this year on Buzzcocks with something to satisfy every musical taste from the nineties through the noughties through boy and girl bands right to the present day.” The perfect fourth album would be a healthy dose of unpredictability and mad comedy.

Daisy’s Buzzcocks axing comes after she reportedly stepped down from Celebrity Traitors, which is also set to air in the autumn. A source said at the time: “It’s caused producers a real headache as it’s so close to filming.
“They’d banked on Daisy and Charlie being TV gold so it’s disappointing they won’t be a part of the first Celebrity Traitors. They’re hilarious and brilliant on telly together – plus being brother and sister would have brought a really interesting element to the series.” Away from the world of showbiz, the BAFTA-winning actress welcomed baby Benji with partner Anthony Huggins, 45, in June. She also has Pip, six, and Jack, three, from a previous relationship. Charlie, 35, has two children with his wife Leighanne.
Daisy and Will Weston tied the knot in The Cotswolds in September 2019, and they are “both devoted parents” to their second child. After the Covid-19 lockdown, they both decided to end their marriages in 2021. Benji’s father, Anthony Huggins, is now dating her new partner, who is also known as Daisy. The couple had a baby a year ago when they met on the dating app Hinge in December 2021.
Daisy shared the news via Instagram with the caption “You came a little earlier than we expected and gave me the worst post-op constipation that I nearly had to call the Samaritans, but my god you are perfect” when her youngest son was born.
“I can’t thank @deliverysuitegrh enough. You did a wonderful service to us in such a difficult situation. When Daisy and Anthony packed on a PDA while going to a store in Cirencester, Gloucestershire, to buy baby clothes, Daisy announced her pregnancy in March of last year.
The actress’s bump was clearly visible in a figure-hugging all-black appearance as the couple held hands as they left for a shopping trip. Daisy was seen heartily laughing as the pair went about their day while making the most of the sunny weather and were able to keep their hands off one another.
A source at the time stated that Daisy is expecting and is looking forward to having her third child with her new partner. The addition of a baby will only help the two get closer to one another because they have been fighting well together. The couple then sparked engagement rumors when Daisy was spotted ring fingered in a diamond rock.
When Daisy was promoting her BBC series Am I Being Unreasonable, rumors about Anthony having popped the question started in February. Anthony was first referred to as her “fiancé” on her Instagram Stories. She made fun of the fact that her “fit fiancé and baby daddy” would appear on screen in a clip.
