Filling Daisy’s shoes while she juggles motherhood will be brilliant funnywoman Sophie Willan, 36. Sophie will be warming the captain’s throne until Daisy returns for the Christmas Special of the Buzzcocks. Daisy showed some love to her fans on Instagram, thanking them all for their “beautiful messages” following the unplanned early arrival of baby Benji.
