Daisy May Cooper has been secretly involved in a whirlwind relationship with a new man for the last nine months – and he’s already moved in with the actress.
The This Country star hinted at a fresh romance on Sunday evening, during which she was seen sharing a passionate kiss with a mystery man outside the Royal Festival Hall venue.
Daisy, who looked incredible in a floor-length pastel pink dress, was seen packing on the PDA with the man as they headed back to their hotel following the ceremony.
The boyfriend is understood to be a Bristol based artist, and friends claim the actress – who separated from husband Will Weston in 2021 – has fallen head-over-heels in love.
A source told The Sun: ‘Daisy is head over heels with her new man and has really enjoyed getting to know him away from the spotlight.
‘Most of the time they lead a very ordinary life together and left fans gobsmacked when they showed up at boot sale together recently.
‘He gets on really well with Daisy’s dad Paul and seems to be a really calming influence on Daisy after a hectic time following the breakdown of her marriage.’

Just two months later though a friend told The Sun: ‘Daisy dumped Ryan because she decided she didn’t want to be tied down again, she loves the single life.
‘Ryan is really gutted it’s all over already – it was a whirlwind which he truly thought could end in marriage.’
They started a relationship after it was reported that Daisy had ended her marriage after two years, with an insider revealing at the time that Daisy ‘had grown increasingly tired of married life and was struggling in her relationship with Will.
‘They ended things for good earlier this year. She has taken off her wedding ring and has been telling her friends their marriage is over.
‘She has also removed Will as a director on her media business. It’s been a tough 17 months for everyone and Daisy and Will were no exception.’
A representative for Daisy May Cooper declined to comment when contacted by MailOnline at the time.
The Cirencester-born star rose to prominence when she created the comedy series This Country alongside her brother Charlie.
The show follows the daily exploits of best friends Kerry and Kurtan in rural England.
Daisy’s hit series This Country was part inspired by her own upbringing and she is once again drawing on her roots for her role in new BBC dark comedy Rain Dogs.

The series is written by the British-Irish author Cash Carraway and is based on her experiences as a single mum fighting her way out of poverty.
Daisy plays single mother Costello, seen just minutes into the first episode being booted out of her flat by bailiffs and desperately trying to find somewhere for her and her ten-year-old daughter, Iris, to live.
Talking about her new part, Daisy said: ‘I can see so much of Costello in me. I recognise that feeling when every day is a challenge, when you don’t have money and you’re just trying to get to the end of the day.’
