Background
Daisy May Cooper and her brother Charlie, known for the BAFTA-winning mockumentary 'This Country', have previously described their family as 'dysfunctional' while growing up.
The siblings were raised in a two-bedroom council house by their parents and faced financial struggles. Their father Paul also plays their on-screen father in the hit series.
Despite past difficulties, Daisy and Charlie are now incredibly close to their father, but they revealed that it hasn't always been happy families.
Current Situation
Speaking on Fearne Cotton's Happy Place podcast, Charlie said: 'We did have a period where we just talk and it was all about stuff that happened as kids.'
Daisy added: 'It was like childhood stuff that you are just remembering stuff together and you go, "F***, our dad is a f****** narcissist and he f***** us up really loads." That's the only thing we came to a conclusion on. We don't know whether ghosts exist, but we know our dad's a f****** narcissist.'
The exchange continued with Charlie saying 'You take after him!' and Daisy responding 'Yes so do you, yes you f****** do'.

Impacts
The comments come as Daisy May Cooper continues to navigate her career and personal life. Last year, she discussed how her 10-stone weight loss and lip filler treatment delayed filming of season two of 'Am I Being Unreasonable?'.
She reflected on continuity challenges: 'Series one is meant to be 30 seconds before series two and in that 30 seconds I've lost about 10 stone and had my lips done. I saw the rushes and I said to the BBC, "God, we're going to have a disclaimer at the beginning saying - Daisy has had her lips done, go with it and please don't judge".'
Discussing her appearance, the mother-of-two told the BBC podcast 'How To Be In The Spotlight': 'I'm so for body positivity but when I was at my biggest I was at my most miserable and I had a massive food addiction.'
Future Outlook
Scenario analysis: The possibilities below are not certain predictions.
If the siblings continue to discuss their childhood publicly, it may further shape public perception of their family dynamics, but it remains unclear whether this will affect their relationship with their father.
Daisy May Cooper's career may continue to thrive despite personal revelations, as she has previously addressed sensitive topics in her comedy and interviews.
Should the podcast episode gain widespread attention, it could lead to more discussions about family and mental health, but any such impact is speculative at this point.
