Daisy May Cooper almost got hit by a confetti cannon
The 'Password' star - whose new show starts this weekend on ITV1 - has opened up about a scary moment during filming, when the crew accidentally set off the prop right next to her while celebrating a contestant's big moment.
As quoted by the Daily Star newspaper, she said: "There's confetti cannons that go off if you win the £10,000.
"We won 10k for this guy and the confetti cannon was fired almost point black into my eyeball.
"I hope they do a slow motion replay because it nearly knocked me out."
It's said medics were quick to respond and make sure the 38-year-old star was able to continue with filming.
Daisy is a team captain on the show, and she loved the chance to help contestants win the cash prize.
She added: "When you win somebody the jackpot, it's amazing, it's euphoric.
"There was one woman who wanted a new wheelchair and the pressure of that, knowing how desperately she needed it, that was intense."
And despite her near miss on set, Daisy would love it if the gameshow was renewed for a second series.
She said: "I'd do another series in a heartbeat."
Last month, it was revealed Daisy is taking a break from her role as team captain on 'Never Mind The Buzzcock's after becoming a mum for the third time.
She gave birth to son Benji in early June, and will be replaced by comedian Sophie Willan, 36, for the upcoming fourth series until Daisy returns for the Christmas special.
Daisy had taken to Instagram to say she was very grateful to everyone for their “beautiful messages” after the arrival of her baby boy – who she said arrived a “bit earlier than we expected”.
She wrote on Instagram: "You came a bit earlier than we expected and gave me the worst post op constipation that I nearly had to phone the Samaritans but my god you are perfect.
“I cannot thank @deliverysuitegrh enough. The way you looked after us through such a scary time was above and beyond.
“You are all superstars. I am so blessed. Welcome to the world little Benji, ya nutter Born 06/06/24.”
