Daisy May Cooper makes shock exit from ITV series before second series

ITV has revealed that Daisy May Cooper will not be returning for the second series of one of their most popular game shows.
Hosted by Stephen Mangan, Password sees team captains Daisy and Alan Carr team up with a civilian contestant to win a £10,000 prize.
Each captain is given a secret word in the show – the password – which their teammate then has to guess based on a one-word clue.
However, according to reports, neither Daisy or Alan will be returning to the gameshow, which comes from the makers of Britain's Got Talent and QI.
A source told The Sun: 'Password did brilliantly on its first outing and it's always a shame to make changes, but Alan and Daisy are both incredibly busy and diaries just wouldn't align.
'Something had to give and sadly it was their roles as team captains.
'But there's an exciting line-up of celebs ready to take part instead, and everyone's confident that the format works without them.'
This comes after Daisy, along with her This Country co-star and brother Charlie, revealed they would not be featuring in the upcoming Celebrity Traitors.
The duo pulled out of the show just weeks before filming, according to the Mirror.
It is believed that both actors decided they did not want to be away from their young families.
In July last year, it was also revealed that Daisy would not be returning for the next series of Never Mind The Buzzcocks.
The 37-year-old This Country star joined as team captain opposite Noel Fielding when Sky brought back the iconic 1990s music quiz in 2021, but she was replaced for the revival's upcoming fourth run.
Following its debut on television in September last year, Password was met with mixed reviews from the public.
Taking to X during the show to vent their frustrations, viewers pointed out a major flaw in the show's format.
Unfortunately for eager participants at home, they were prevented from playing along when the password was announced by a voiceover as the round began.
Writing on X, user originalfran blasted: 'Why ask if we can guess the #Password when some guy announces it at the beginning of each round, then you show it on screen??? What's the point in this show if we can't play along at home?' More Trending
Queenie_2312 agreed: 'When we filmed the #Password pilot, the password was only shown to the audience and not said out loud, they should of kept that format as you can't play along as an audience member at home when the password is being said out loud'.
The reactions weren't all bad, though, as a handful of viewers did warm to the concept. ThisIsMeUK1 said during the launch: 'Been looking forward to this sooooo much!!!'
Metro has contacted Daisy and Alan's representatives and ITV for comment.

Holly Willoughby unrecognisable as she makes big change to her appearance

Holly looked really different in her latest post. Holly Willoughby has shown off the new look she's sporting these days which is a far cry from her ITV looks. The ex This Morning presenter shared a post on Instagram wavy hairstyle and a pair of very bold glasses. The 44-year-old posed up a storm in her car as she joked about being her children's 'personal party driver'. Holly captioned the snap: "Any other mums/dads of 16 year old, post GCSE children suddenly find themselves with a new role of personal party driver? Mums 'Mini' Cabs … and yes… I'm now a Glasses wearer… game changer." ‌ Holly and her husband Dan Baldwin share three children, Harry, 16, daughter Belle, 12, and nine-year-old son Chester. Their eldest son Harry has just completed his GCSE's and it appears like Holly is being his personal chauffeur after completing his exams, writes The Mirror. ‌ In the comments, Holly's fans gushed over her naturally wavy hair as one commented: "Gorgeous. You look so pretty and the glasses really suit you." Another echoed: "Wow!!! Holly you have never looked better." This comes after it was revealed that Holly has been left without an upcoming TV show. The star has been a staple on our screens for years but it seems that she hasn't got any upcoming projects. This is the first time that she hasn't had a programme lined-up in 21 years. This comes as her usual presenting gig on Dancing On Ice has come to an end as the show has been axed. Holly's other job hosting Bear Hunt with Bear Grylls also won't be happening again as that's been axed as well. She has also chosen to step away from You Bet! which means Stephen Mulhern will be hosting the show alone. ‌ It has been reported that Holly's husband Dan Baldwin is working on a reboot of Record Breakers which means Holly could be in with a chance of a presenting job. The Sun reported that a source said it would make "perfect sense" for Holly to be up for the role. They said: "Record Breakers is likely to be a prime time hit and it would make perfect sense for Holly to take the reins. She has worked alongside Dan before and the pair know what it takes to make great telly." Holly has also been in amongst a few names that could be hosting the reboot of Cilla Black's Blind Date. Other celebs that could be up include Claudia Winkleman and Davina McCall. Another show Holly is being looked at for is a new Channel 4 programme where new undiscovered singers are found. Holly first returned back to TV last year after taking an 18 month break. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
