Daisy May Cooper highlighted her weight loss in a new family photo shared on Instagram.
The This Country star, 39, showcased her transformation in an all-black outfit while hosting a superhero-themed party for her six-year-old son Jack.
In the snap, Cooper posed with her 15-month-old son Benji in front of a birthday banner, thanking the party company for organising “the best surprise.”
“Thank you so much to the Magical Character Company for the best surprise for Jack's birthday,” she wrote.
She then joked that her youngest, Benji, appeared to be “attacking” her partner Ant Huggins, cheekily shoving his hand into his face during the photo.
The comedienne, who is also mother to daughter Pip, has been candid about her changing appearance in recent years, explaining she was motivated to do so for her health and has since lost 10 stone.
“I’m so for body positivity, but when I was at my biggest, I was at my most miserable and I had a massive food addiction,” she shared on the How To Be In The Spotlight podcast. “I wasn’t healthy. I couldn’t breathe when I was walking up the stairs. I was so unhappy.”
The BBC star initially turned to the keto diet, a strict low-carb regime, but later confessed that while it delivered results, she “wouldn’t recommend it.”
She previously told Daily Mail she developed kidney stones as a result of the diet, explaining: “Because all I was eating all meat and cheese, like Henry VIII.”
Before adding: “The pressure on women to lose weight – at any cost – it’s insane. It’s horrendous.”
Cooper began her fitness journey between filming the first and second seasons of her hit series, Am I Being Unreasonable?, over the course of three years, 2021 to 2024.
The BBC comedy centres on two women who enjoy a fun-loving life, before things begin to go pear-shaped.
Reflecting on the shift, she told The Sun TV Magazine how surreal it was to compare her past and present self on screen: “It was a bit mad as since we filmed the last series and this series.
“I’ve had my lips done and lost about ten stone so in those flashbacks, we were just killing ourselves laughing as we don’t even look the same people. But it was fun.”
Cooper has remained open about the difficulties of her weight loss journey, including the criticism she faced when she first revealed her slimmer appearance back in 2019.
She told Grazia: "I've had some messages like, “Well, now you've lost the weight you're not funny any more." What the f***? Why do women have to be f***ing fat to be funny?
“That makes me so angry. I champion anybody. I think everybody should be happy with their body. But I wasn't.”
