Daisy Mae Cooper revealed that she has named her son after the late co-star of This Country co-star Michael Slighs

Daisy May Cooper paid tribute to her late baby boy Michael Sliggs upon naming her newborn.

The 34-year-old star of this country welcomed a baby boy on September 1, but stayed in hospital for “a painful few days” after suffering complications from labor.

In a cute post on Instagram on Friday, the actress revealed that all is well now that she announced the name of her little girl.

Next to the picture of the newborn, she wrote, “Many of you ask what the bubble is. We named it Jack Michael Weston.

“Michael’s middle name is after our dear friend Michael Slighs who we lost last year. Long live the spirit of sloths!” Willwestonlandscape [sic]”.

Michael passed away in July 2019 of heart failure at the age of 33.

Just two months ago, in May, Michael revealed that he was terminally ill after a “fairly rapid” deterioration, later explaining that he had heart failure.

He played Slugette by Michael Slugs on the BBC Three sitcom This Country alongside Daisy, who plays Kerry Mucklowe.

The show traces the daily exploits of best friends Keri and Curtin in rural England.
