Daisy May Cooper spills the beans on her ghostly encounter in her new book and it's utterly hilarious!

Daisy May Cooper, the comedic genius behind the hit show *This Country*, has once again captivated audiences with her unique brand of storytelling. In an exclusive extract from her new book, Daisy offers us a glimpse into her quirky adventures, where the realm of the living collided with the ethereal—specifically, her attempt to, shall we say, get jiggy with a ghost. Yes, you heard that right! This is not your average ghost story; it’s a comically awkward encounter that only someone as wit-infused as Cooper could narrate.

The escapade kicks off when Daisy finds herself in a haunted location, armed with nothing but a cheeky attitude and an open mind. With a penchant for the bizarre and a fearless approach to exploring the supernatural, she boldly decided that perhaps a ghost could be her date for the evening. As she navigates the dimly lit room filled with dust-covered furniture and cobwebs, her enthusiasm remains undeterred. After all, she believes that love knows no bounds—especially when those bounds include the afterlife!

What follows is a rollercoaster of hilarity, as Daisy recounts the ghost's less-than-inviting responses to her flirtations. Instead of romantic banter, she is met with chilly silence, strange noises, and an array of hilarious misunderstandings. This urban comedy takes a turn when Daisy realizes that even in the world of spirits, things aren’t always as romantic as they seem. Who knew that wooing a ghost could lead to such slapstick moments?

In perfect Daisy-style, the narrative ends on a high note, leaving readers both entertained and introspective. She ponders whether these spooky tales reflect a desire for connection, or if it’s simply her unique sense of humour at play. Combine that with her witty commentary about the awkwardness of modern dating, and you have a winning combination that makes you rethink your own romantic escapades!
