In a recent episode of The Jonathan Ross Show, Daisy May Cooper of “This Country” fame shared a hilarious encounter she had with an Instagram troll. If you’re not following Daisy on Instagram, you’re definitely missing out on a treat because her posts are consistently filled with top-quality comedy.
During the show, Daisy revealed that she had been engaged in a fake romance with someone claiming to be a sea captain. Jonathan Ross, the host, shared a tweet from the sea captain where he professed his interest in Daisy and requested to meet her. Daisy responded by photoshopping her face onto Kate Winslet‘s body and humorously replied, “This could be us.” The sea captain, undeterred, asked for Daisy’s name and whereabouts.
Surprisingly, the conversation continued, with the sea captain revealing that he lived in Georgetown, USA, and worked as an officer in the U.S. Army while wearing a naval captain’s uniform. Daisy, not missing a beat, claimed to run a successful dog cloning business without facing any skepticism from the sea captain.
However, it soon became clear that the sea captain was after cash. He asked Daisy for a specific amount of money, $953, claiming it was for a medical bill. He stated that without this money, he wouldn’t be able to fly out and continue their love story. Daisy, rather than complying with his request, decided to play along.
She told the sea captain that she had a friend who owned a private jet and could fly out to see him instead. To make her story seem more convincing, she sent him a picture from a plane. However, the sea captain swiftly denied her offer, appearing panicked by the prospect.
Amusingly, the fake romance took an even more dramatic turn when the sea captain claimed to have been attacked by a bomb, resulting in a leg injury. He then asked Daisy for double the amount of money for another operation. Curious, Daisy requested a picture of the doctor treating him, and the sea captain complies, sending a picture of a bloody doctor claiming to be famous.
As the story unfolded, it soon became clear that Daisy wasn’t the sea captain’s only target. In a surprising turn, Daisy discovered that her fellow celebrities, including Kate Thornton and Spencer from The X Factor, had also received messages from this persistent Instagram scammer.
Despite the humorous nature of Daisy’s encounter, it shed light on the reality that some people do fall for scams like this. Daisy’s quick wit and refusal to give in to the scammer’s demands turned the situation into a hilarious tale that left the audience in stitches.
There is no doubt that Daisy’s appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show provided a great deal of entertainment and showcased her comedic talent on and off the screen. As fans eagerly await more delightful anecdotes from Daisy May Cooper, it’s safe to say that her Instagram followers will be on the lookout for any more encounters with would-be lovers or pesky scammers.
