Daisy May Cooper halts ITV Loose Women to break down in floods of tears

Daisy May Cooper has broken down in floods of tears live on ITV Loose Women today in emotional scenes. The BBC This Country star appeared on the ITV panel show, which aired from 12.30pm today Wednesday (October 23).

Sky's Never Mind the Buzzcocks team captain Daisy, 38, appeared on the ITV daytime show on Wednesday to discuss her late co-star and childhood friend Michael Sleggs, who died in 2019. She recalled the time she believes she received a sign from Michael after his passing.

She shared: "When Michael was dying, he was in so much pain and agony and he was terrified. He phoned me said he wasn't scared anymore and he had an angelic spirit kind of being that came to me and said 'in seven days I would have a new body, which means I'm either going to get better or going to pass away but I'll be free of this pain.

"And he died within seven days. I think that's extraordinary. There are so many things you can't explain." She continued: "The next morning me and my partner were in bed. When Sluggs was dying, I said 'what are you most gutted missing out on?'

"He said the Phoenix Festival, he genuinely meant it. He loved it because it was free, in walking distance to his house and there was a Guns N' Roses tribute act playing. I said 'honestly, you're gutted about missing out on that?', and he said 'yeah, I am'."

Daisy went on: "Me and my partner were in bed and it's about 7am in the morning and there's this banging on the bedroom door." She said: ""It can't be the cats, do they have knuckles...we both heard it, we have cameras on the landing and there was nothing."

Daisy became choked up as she said: "He heard it as well and my god, it turned out that that was the day of the Phoenix Festival."
