Daisy May Cooper and brother Charlie land new BBC show weeks after quitting Celebrity Traitors
DAISY MAY COOPER and her brother Charlie are turning their love of ghostly goings-on into their own supernatural show.
The series will see the This Country stars investigate the spookiest places across the country.
An insider revealed: “Daisy and Charlie are the perfect duo because they are both believers and have been quite vocal about supernatural experiences.”
It is expected to air on the BBC later this year.
It comes after Charlie’s own series Myth County last year, which saw him cover bonkers stories passed down in British folklore, including one from Norfolk where locals say they are plagued by a demon dog.
His older sister’s autobiography, Hexy B**ch: Tales From My Life, The Afterlife, And Beyond, was released shortly after, with Daisy detailing a number of supernatural occurrences in her life.

She also claimed she was being haunted by her This Country co-star Michael ‘Slugs’ Sleggs, who passed away after battling heart problems in 2019.
She said: “There was a banging in the bedroom door, the duvet had lifted off the bed and I’m sure it was him.
“I made him promise he would come back, and he would definitely do that because he knows it would freak me out and he’d find that hilarious.”
