Daisy May Cooper was visibly shaken when she met her idol Ben Shephard on Monday.
At the start of the week, the celebrity, who had just been exposed as Otter on Masked Singer, raced into the Good Morning Britain studio covered in a blanket emblazoned with Ben’s face.
Daisy grasped her chest as she sat down and said, ‘I’m shaking,’ before addressing the presenter, ‘You are the most gorgeous guy in the world.’
The 36-year-old This Country actress famously dedicated her biography Don’t Laugh It’ll Only Encourage Her to Ben, 48, and was overjoyed to be in his presence.
‘I’m shaking. My heart is pounding out of my chest. You smell like what I wanted you to,’ she told the GMB host.
‘How do I smell?’ Ben queried, to which Daisy replied: ‘Like a bunny rabbit.’
The mother of two also discussed her time on Masked Singer, stating that her daughter sobbed when she found out her mother would be on the show.
‘When I got the phone call saying do I want to do Masked Singer, I told my daughter and she cried because she’s embarrassed of me. You can’t get anything right,’ Daisy told Ben and Susanna Reid.
Daisy joked during her reveal on Sunday that she did the programme because she “needed the money,” leaving panellists Rita Ora, Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, and Mo in stitches.
On taking part, she added: ‘I loved every single second of it. I did this for my daughter Pip, who is a massive fan of the show.’
Mo, the first panellist to correctly name the celebrity, was pleased.
‘I got one! And it was an otter and I love otters,’ he said.
‘Do you know what it was with you Daisy? You could tell you were a comedic actress because you’re so physical, but you’re a really good singer.’
Host Joel Dommett said: ‘You didn’t stop moving the entire time,’ to which Daisy replied: ‘Tell me about it! Oh my God, why did I put so much energy into the first… and then I had to keep it up. Why couldn’t I have been a sloth or something?’
In explaining the hints, Daisy joked that being in pairs was a reference to her brother, to which she replied, ‘I’m trying to move away from him.’
The This Country actress added: ‘I’ve loved it, I mean I’m exhausted and absolutely relieved.’
