Daisy May Cooper Talks Ghosts, IKEA Boyfriends & Tattoos | Under Your Skin with Grace Neutral

In the very first episode of Under Your Skin, Grace Neutral is joined by comedian and actor Daisy May Cooper for a conversation that starts silly, gets strange, and ends somewhere surprisingly moving. What begins with jokes about ghost boyfriends, bad old jobs, and eyeball tattoos slowly opens into a raw chat about creativity, sudden success, online abuse, family, fear, and grounding yourself when life changes overnight. Along the way, Daisy shares an extraordinary personal ghost story that inspired the tattoo she receives — and things get genuinely emotional. Funny, unfiltered, and unexpectedly therapeutic, this episode sets the tone for what Under Your Skin is all about: laughter first, honesty always, and stories that stay with you.
