Daisy May Cooper<\/a> has revealed <\/a>the jaw-dropping methods she took to meet her boyfriend as a teenager.<\/p>\n

Before she became known for writing and starring in This Country<\/a>, the actress and comedian grew up in Cirencester in Gloucestershire<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, looking back at her teenage years, she\u2019s now made a shocking admission<\/a> of the lengths she took for love.<\/p>\n

In a new interview alongside her brother, fellow actor and writer Charlie Cooper, he joked his sister \u2018would be in prison if it hadn\u2019t been for our family\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018There was the time you crushed up sleeping tablets and put them in Mum and Dad\u2019s tea so you could meet a boy!\u2019 he shared.<\/p>\n

Admitting her actions, she explained to the Daily Mail<\/a>: \u2018I did, actually. I had this boyfriend who worked late in a Chinese restaurant and Mum and Dad would never go to sleep so from 8pm I\u2019d start poisoning their tea. That\u2019s quite dark.\u2019<\/p>\n

Daisy, 38, was previously married to Will Weston from 2019 until 2021, with the couple sharing two children, a daughter and a son.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year she welcomed her son Benji with partner Anthony Huggins, 46.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the interview, the siblings spoke about how, despite the huge success of This Country eight years ago, their relationship was strained.<\/p>\n

Their mockumentary sitcom focused on the day-to-day lives of two cousins living in a small hamlet in the Cotswolds<\/a> and eventually ran for three seasons.<\/p>\n

\u2018I think after the success of This Country we were pulled apart,\u2019 Charlie now admits.<\/p>\n

\u2018We probably needed a break from each other, because it was quite intense working together as well as being siblings.\u2019<\/p>\n

Although Daisy said they never had a falling out, they \u2018stopped hanging out together\u2019.<\/p>\n

However, they\u2019ve now reunited for the new series NightWatch, in which they sleep over at some of the most haunted places across the UK and be told \u2018all the spooky stories and chilling incidents reported at the location over the years\u2019.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the show, they said: \u2018We\u2019ve both had a brush with the paranormal and really do love the concept of life after death, so we thought this could be the perfect way to prove to the world that we\u2019re not delusional. It will be a miracle if we both come out alive and well.\u2019<\/p>\n

However ahead of its premiere, they did confirm there were no plans to revive the show which made them household names.<\/p>\n

\u2018We can\u2019t do This Country, though, because I\u2019ve lost so much weight and I\u2019ve had my lips done,\u2019 she told the Radio Times.<\/p>\n

She continued, joking: \u2018We\u2019d have to say that Kerry\u2019s had a tapeworm and been stung by a bee.\u2019<\/p>\n

Across its run, This Country was nominated for six Baftas<\/a>, winning three.<\/p>\n
