Actor Warwick Davis has said the woman who helped him ‘find love again’ reminds him of an unlikely comedy character played by Daisy May Cooper.
While receiving his Bafta Fellowship award, the 55-year old star of the Harry Potter and Star Wars film franchises thanked an anonymous woman called ‘Sponge’ for their help after his wife, Samantha Davis, died last year.
Speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show, Warwick said the woman reminded him of Daisy – who was also on the ITV talk show – playing Kerry Mucklowe in the BBC’s Cotswolds-set series This Country.
Warwick referenced the name sometimes given to Harry Potter antagonist Lord Voldemort – He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named – to avoid identifying the mystery woman.
He said: ‘I can reveal, sticking with the Harry Potter theme, Sponge is indeed She-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named.
‘Sponge very much reminds me of Kerry. Some of the things she says and her accent.’
Kerry is a character created and played by the Am I Being Unreasonable? star in the Cotswolds-based mockumentary series This Country, which follows the lives of two cousins living it up in a small village.
Daisy and her brother Charlie Cooper, star of the BBC show Myth Country, won Baftas for the series, including for their acting performances.
The Jonathan Ross Show airs tonight, March 8th, at 9.20pm on ITV and ITVX.
