Daisy May Cooper reveals she was fooled into joining a swingers club when she tried to follow her interest in becoming a sorceress. 

The actress, 38, took part in a Zoom interview with the group’s High Priest and Priestess – Brian and Karen – during lockdown. 

However she began to grow suspicious when instead of asking her about her passion for witchcraft, they quizzed her on how she felt being ‘naked’ and having ‘orgasms’ in front of other people at their house. 

‘My brain went into reverse trust as realisation dawned. Brian and Karen were swingers or doggers, or maybe both,’ Daisy reveals in her new book Hexy Btch*, according to The Sun. 

‘If I’d wanted a threesome, I wouldn’t have feigned an elaborate interest in witchcraft easier to put a call out on Stroud Swingers.’

Despite turning down their offer, Daisy reveals she did instead try to pursue a ghost for sex. 

But she says her fantasy of a ‘dreamboat Victorian’ visiting her quickly fell flat, with a ghostly presence ‘looking like Phil Mitchell’ instead greeting her.  

She writes: ‘I’ll just wait until the ghost of my dreams knocks on my door. Just like everything in the paranormal world, I remain open.’ 

Daisy says her interest in ghosts began after the death of This Country co-star Michael Sleggs.

Michael, beloved for playing Michael ‘Slugs’ Slugette in the BBC Three comedy, died in 2019 aged 33 after suffering ‘complications’ following a battle with heart failure.

Daisy told The Times this week, Michael’s death was when she began to believe in paranormal activity.  

‘What kicked everything off was losing Michael Sleggs. When he was in palliative care near the end, he’d been in agony for his whole life, he was frightened of dying. 

‘But then he phoned me up and said, “I’m not scared any more, I felt this angelic light at the bottom of the bed that told me within seven days at midnight I’d have a new body”. And he died within seven days, at 11.59. That brought so much comfort.’

Daisy said she told Michael he ‘has to come back and tell me you’re ok’. 

She continued: ‘He would have! But I hadn’t heard anything. It made me doubt myself. Then I woke up here and the duvet was being lifted, with no draught in the room. Then there was a banging, a musical hammering on the bedroom door. And Slugs had said, “I’m gutted I’m gonna miss the Phoenix festival”.’ 

Daisy revealed Michael loved the festival held in Cirencester, which had a Guns N’ Roses tribute band playing that year. 

She added of the hair-raising experience: ‘Is that coincidence?’ and said she has since experienced more supernatural encounters following his death.
