Daisy May Cooper admits she ‘doesn’t even look like the same person’ after shedding the pounds and getting lip filler following the first series of her hit comedy Am I Being Unreasonable?

Daisy May Cooper has admitted she was shocked to see how dramatically her appearance had changed in the time since the first series of Am I Being Unreasonable?

The actress, 38, is returning as Nic for the second series of her hit BBC One comedy on Wednesday, three years after the show last aired.

However, she admitted that she had undergone quite a visible transformation since the first season, after getting filler and losing weight.

Speaking to The Sun TV Magazine, Daisy May reflected on the time jump between series one and two.

She 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 like the same people. But it was fun.’

Am I Being Unreasonable? is a surreal comedy following two women who enjoy a fun-loving life, before things begin to turn pear-shaped.

Daisy writes the show as well as lead the cast, which also includes Selin Hizli, Lenny Rush, Jessica Hynes and Dustin Demri-Burns.

The new series picks up where the last ended, with the synopsis teasing: ‘Has Daisy May Cooper’s Nic actually got away with murder, and has she has raised her son Ollie in her own murky footsteps?

‘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 has been on a dramatic weight loss journey over the last two years but revealed she has since been flooded with messages telling her that she’s ‘no longer funny’ since changing her appearance.

She previously told Grazia she had been trolled over her slimmed-down frame, saying: ‘I’m so for body positivity but when I was at my biggest I was at my most miserable and I had a mᴀssive food addiction.’

Daisy – who split from husband Will Weston in July 2021 after nearly two years of marriage – went on: ‘I wasn’t healthy. I couldn’t breathe when I was walking up the stairs. I was so unhappy.

‘And I’ve had some messages like, “Well, now you’ve lost the weight you’re not funny any more.” What the f**k? Why do women have to be f**king fat to be funny?

‘That makes me so angry. I champion anybody. I think everybody should be happy with their body. But I wasn’t.’

The actress has previously admitted to undergoing cosmetic ‘tweakments’ including fillers, but confessed it gave her a ‘horrible pillow face’ and she ‘couldn’t move [her] face’.

Last year, Daisy said she was banned by her agent from getting any more Botox or fillers over fears limiting effect on her facial expressions meant she wouldn’t ‘be able to act’.

Appearing on the BBC podcast How to Be in the Spotlight in June, she candidly confessed: ‘I’ve had Botox and then I had fillers. 

‘It was just the worst, I looked awful. There’s me on the One Show and I’ve got that horrible pillow face. I can’t move my face.

‘My agent said to me: “You’ve got to stop because you’re not going to be able to f*****g act”. I literally couldn’t move my eyebrows.’

The mother-of-three went on: ‘It killed me because I loved not having any creases in my forehead. I stopped having that done. 

Daisy looked noticeably slimmer at the premiere after previously going on a keto (low carb, high fat) diet (pictured: the actress in 2020)

‘But I haven’t had any surgery. I did go in to have a consultation for a tummy tuck and the surgeon just scared the s*** out of me.

‘There’s that dog ear thing you can get — these flaps that come from the side. I just thought, I can’t. I’ll use my Spanx to hold all that in.’

Discussing her weight fluctuation, she also told the podcast: ‘It got to a point where I was so overweight at the time I was really miserable. I wasn’t happy being that weight. 

‘I was put on some medication for depression, Quetiapine. It slows your metabolism right down to crawl and it makes you have the munchies 24/7. 

‘I was put on it just before I started This Country. What people weren’t aware of is I’d always been a size 8 to 10. It was when I went on to that medication that it made me balloon. 

‘It wasn’t until I made the decision to come off that that people were like “oh my god she’s so different and she’s losing all this weight”. This was always who I was, so shedding all of that s*** was great.’
