At points, her story is heartbreaking. She nods. “But at least now there was a purpose for those really awful times. I feel like [writing the book] has been quite therapeutic in a way, because, had I not written it, had we not become successful, then those bits would have just been really sad.

Cooper remains an absurdly brilliant comic performer who is capable of heartbreaking moments of vulnerability, as she showed in This Country. Hizli is an equally fine actor and carries the dramatic scenes particularly well, where Cooper seems less comfortable. And what a gift they have in 13-year-old Rush, who has the comic chops and emotional range of an actor twice his age and the kind of chemistry with Cooper that is an absolute joy to watch.

I don’t understand how I keep making the same mistakes, and why I’m not growing up to be a responsible adult. It’s like I’m flypaper for just completely embarrassing myself.” We waited weeks. Then, one day, I received a message from a production company in London. In that moment, all the shitty jobs I’d ever done paled into insignificance. This was it! Somebody, somewhere, in a big, fancy office in London, actually thought we were funny.

Life hasn't always been straightforward for Daisy: growing up in rural poverty in Gloucestershire with her brother Chaz, she had to work a myriad of low-paid and unrewarding jobs just to make ends meet.

Known as 'Big Mandy' to some, she is a woman in the village who has a thuggish, rough-looking appearance and a somewhat unsettling presence. As a result of this, she is the only person in the village that Kerry and Kurtan genuinely find intimidating, though it is never certain as to whether she intends to be a bully to people or is in fact just misunderstood as being as such. She has a brash manner of speaking and tells anecdotes in which she has committed acts of violence or other forms of crime, such as the time she stalked Hannah Spearritt from S Club 7 for three or four years. Though Kerry and Kurtan are conflicted as to whether they believe anything she says, this nonetheless gives her the air of a criminal which causes them to label her a 'psychopath'. She often pursues creative endeavours, such as becoming a tattoo artist and joining the village book club to showcase her creative writing skills, but her efforts are often laughably poor as she is shown to possess very little creative talent.
