The series is filmed in Northleach, but is loosely based on her and her brother’s life in Cirencester.
She plays Kerry Mucklowe, while Charlie plays her cousin Lee 'Kurtan' Mucklowe and their dad Paul - who is starring alongside Daisy on Celebrity Gogglebox - plays Kerry's selfish dad, Martin.
Thanks to her brilliant performance as Kerry, actress Daisy won the 2018 BAFTA TV Award for Best Female Comedy Performance.
Before starring on This Country, Daisy landed her first role as a young mother in the ITV series Doc Martin.
