Daisy May Cooper has revealed her surprising saviour when she hit rock bottom amid her divorce from Will Weston.
The comedian, 38, and ex Will, who share two children together, filed for divorce in July 2021 after just two years of marriage.
Daisy has now revealed that she turned to internet forum Mumsnet as her marriage broke down during the Coronavirus pandemic, admitting the women that replied to her ‘f***ing saved me’.
Speaking on Olivia Attwood’s podcast So Wrong It’s Right, Daisy opened up about the ‘lowest point’ in her life and revealed her hit BBC series Am I Being Unreasonable? was inspired by the website where parents share advice and support.
She said: ‘The new series is more intense and people may hate it…. the name comes from Mumsnet. It was during lockdown and I was at my lowest and my marriage was breaking down and I didn’t know where to turn.
‘I posted anomalously and had all these women, I will never know who they are and they won’t know they’ve helped me, but they gave me the most amazing advice and they f***ing saved me.

‘Their reassurance saved me, honestly, and I suppose, Am I Being Unreasonable? is my ode to them.’
The This Country star is a proud mother to daughter Pip, five, and three-year-old son Jack with her ex husband Will and welcomed son Benji in June last year with her boyfriend Anthony Huggins.
Daisy added that she doesn’t have anything to do with her children’s schools due to not having a phone for the past two years.
She explained: ‘Because of work I don’t do the school gate stuff – my ex-husband, who has been brilliant, he does all of that.
‘So, I don’t have to do any of it, and I tell you what, it is absolutely brilliant. I don’t get any PTA emails, I’m not in any WhatsApp groups because I haven’t owned a phone for like two years [because] of my crippling anxiety and WhatsApp was just literally sending me over the edge.
‘Social media was just awful, so everything goes to my partner’s phone and he just tells me.’
It comes after Daisy revealed she doesn’t want any more kids after her ‘terrible experience’ with childbirth.
She admitted that having a third child has in ‘no way’ made her want to have any more because the premature birth was so ‘scary’ last time.

She told Closer in October: ‘No way, Oh my God. It was terrible. It was so scary having him seven weeks premature.
‘I don’t think I’ve quite processed it. It’s one of those things that five years down the line I’ll think…”F***, how did we get through that?”‘
The TV star. who tends to keep her children out of the public eye, admitted that the little one is ‘fine now’ but jokingly called him a ‘miserable b******’.
Daisy and Anthony met after matching on Hinge. They were first seen together attending a car boot sale in Cheltenham, but the TV BAFTA Awards were their first notable public appearance as a couple in May.
She previously told Fabulous Mag: ‘Now I understand a relationship shouldn’t be rowing at 3am, then walking out and turning your phone off.
‘That’s not what love is. Love is being able to live together on a day-to-day basis, enjoying each other’s company, being completely yourself and having that accepted.

Daisy divorced Will shortly after her second child was born, and it came about after she read about a woman who felt as if she had become ‘trapped’ by marriage.
Speaking about their split, Daisy gushed that Will is ‘amazing’ and an ‘incredible’ father but admitted lockdown ‘shone a spotlight’ on their marital difficulties.
She said they both realised that ‘there wasn’t real love there’ and said she felt that she needed to be by herself.
Daisy said she thinks Will would agree with her and that they both felt pressure to get married and settle down once they reached their thirties.
