Yahoo News This Country's Daisy May Cooper names son after late co-star Michael Sleggs
Daisy May Cooper has paid tribute to her late co-star Michael Sleggs while revealing her newborn son's name.
The BAFTA-winning actress, who co-created and starred in the popular BBC mockumentary series This Country with her brother Charlie Cooper, announced the arrival of her son on September 1.
After giving birth, the actress was kept in hospital due to complications, but she's now back home and sharing plenty of updates about her new family member.
In her latest Instagram post, Daisy revealed that her son is called Jack Michael Weston. His middle name is in honour of Sleggs, who sadly passed away last year.
Alongside an image of Jack sleeping in a car seat, Daisy wrote: "Lots of you have been asking what the bubbas name is.
"We have named him Jack Michael weston. The middle name Michael after our dear friend Michael sleggs who we lost last year. May the spirit of Sluggs live on!️ @willwestonlandscape."
Sleggs played Michael 'Sluggs' Slugette, an annoying neighbour of the show's protagonists Kerry (Daisy Cooper) and Kurtan (Charlie Cooper).
Last week, Daisy thanked the medical team at her hospital for helping her through her complicated pregnancy.
"Cannot thank @deliverysuitegrh for all they are doing for our little bubba and me," she wrote. "Its been quite a traumatic few days and they have gone above and beyond."
In a later post, Daisy thanked the midwife who "practically saved my life" during her first pregnancy, and this time stopped her from being "consumed by my own farts when I was in agony with trapped wind".
