In the second episode of the series, Bottom legend Adrian Edmondson plays cleaner Costello's client, artist Lenny, who is living in a filthy flat.

While Costello cleans, "proud pervert" Lenny, who is sick and in bed, masturbates as she watches in uncomfortable scenes.

Talking about the new series to Saturday's TV Mag, Daisy said: "I was such a fan of Ade Edmondson. I always thought: 'I will work with him one day.' I never thought the first scene I would be doing with him was him having a w**k. 

"It's extraordinary and it was the most surreal, bizarre thing ever. He is such a great actor to work with.

Poldark's Jack Farthing plays Costello's eccentric and wealthy gay best friend Selby.

Daisy said: "It’s weird because Daisy and Selby are at obvious ends of the class system. But they are sort of like best friends.
