Daisy May Cooper branded her father Paul a "narcissist" in a foul-mouthed exchange with her brother Charlie about their "messed up" childhood on Tuesday.

The comedy duo, who previously described their family as "dysfunctional" growing up, spoke out before they found fame on the Bafta-winning hit This Country. Paul also plays Daisy and Charlie's on-screen father in the mockumentary series.

The siblings were raised in a two-bedroom council house by their parents and had financial struggles. Now incredibly close to their father, Daisy and Charlie revealed it hasn't always been happy families.

Speaking on Fearne Cotton's Happy Place podcast, Charlie said: "We did have a period where we just talk and it was all about stuff that happened as kids."

Now incredibly close to their father, Daisy and Charlie revealed it hasn't always been happy families with their father (pictured together in 2021)

Daisy and Charlie's rant about their father

Daisy added: "It was like childhood stuff that you are just remembering stuff together and you go, 'F***, our dad is a f****** narcissist and he f***** us up really loads.'

"That's the only thing we came to a conclusion on. We don't know whether ghosts exist, but we know our dad's a f****** narcissist."

Charlie hit back: "You take after him!" Daisy retorted: "Yes so do you, yes you f****** do."

Daisy's weight loss and filming delays

Last year, Daisy revealed how her 10-stone weight loss and lip filler treatment delayed the filming of season two of Am I Being Unreasonable?

Reflecting on the continuity challenges, she said: "Series one is meant to be 30 seconds before series two and in that 30 seconds I've lost about 10 stone and had my lips done."

"I saw the rushes and I said to the BBC, 'God, we're going to have a disclaimer at the beginning saying, Daisy has had her lips done, go with it and please don't judge.'"

Body image and reaction to her transformation

Discussing her appearance on the BBC podcast How To Be In The Spotlight, the mother-of-two said: "I'm so for body positivity but when I was at my biggest I was at my most miserable and I had a massive 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."

She said she had received messages telling her that "now you've lost the weight you're not funny any more," adding: "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."
