Daisy May Cooper shot to fame with This Country, the BAFTA-winning, village-life mockumentary she co-wrote and co-starred in with her brother Charlie. Further success came with the hit comedy thriller Am I Being Unreasonable? and unconventional love story Rain Dogs.

I did The Masked Singer [as Otter] because Pip loved the show. She was furious. She said, 'Why would you go on that? You can't sing.' I said, 'I did it for you...' And a giant pay cheque.
