Daisy May Cooper wasn't quite coven-ready
...as the witches group she tried to join was a front for swingers!
But it turned out the group’s High Priest and Priestess were just randy swingers who wanted her to join their sex sessions.
She said the truth dawned on her when she had a Zoom interview with the couple — aka Brian and Karen – about joining their coven.
The pair asked if she was comfortable being naked and having orgasms in front of other people at their house.
Daisy said: ‘My brain went into reverse trust as realisation dawned. Brian and Karen were swingers or doggers, or maybe both.’
‘In her new book Hexy Bitch, she added: ‘If I’d wanted a threesome, I wouldn’t have feigned an elaborate interest in witchcraft — easier to put a call-out on Stroud Swingers.’
In the book, she also said she once tried to summon a ghost to get some sex… only to find he looked more like EastEnders hardman Phil Mitchell than the ‘dreamboat Victorian’ she was after.
But she hasn’t given up hope of finding a phantom lover, writing: ‘I’ll just wait until the ghost of my dreams knocks on my door. Just like everything in the paranormal world, I remain open.’
Last year, the Am I Being Unreasonable? star revealed her Cotswolds home was haunted by a topless ghost – a pair of legs in PE shorts.
And she once bought a ghostbusting kit after her cleaner told her a highwayman’s spirit was floating around in her bedroom.
