Daisy's been the centre of plenty of Weatherfield drama this year... so she's hoping for a peaceful festive season. Actress Charlotte Jordan shares her favourite things about Christmas ahead of this year's yuletide episodes.
What would you buy your character for Christmas?
I just want to give Daisy some warmth and support and some love! It's been lacking for most of her life and I think if she had more love she would act more normal.
What is your character’s Christmas wish this year?
To not be alone.
How do you normally spend Christmas?
I spend it with my family. I have a small family so I spend part of Christmas with my dad and part of Christmas with my mum.
What is your favourite Christmas memory?
I really enjoy Christmas because we go really hard on the food front and that brings me pure joy.
Do you have a Christmas tradition?
We always put up the tree with snacks and bubbles.
What’s your favourite Christmas present you’ve ever received?
My dad likes to think of himself as a bit of a joker and I remember my brother and I unwrapping these massive boxes and we were really excited because we were really young so we thought that it must be the biggest toy in the world. In the end, it was just a helmet and we didn’t understand why we had just been given a helmet. We were very confused and we had to wait until the end to find out that actually my dad had got us little matching quad bikes. It was great and my brother and I spent most of Christmas racing around each other, I was probably about 9 or 10, maybe younger. It was a great memory.
Have you ever re-gifted a present?
Guilty! Yes, I have. Let’s not dive into what in case they find out!
What is your favourite part of Christmas dinner?
How can you pick one?! The whole day! It is like a marathon; you have to really limber up, get your stretchy pants on and just enjoy the whole day. I can’t pick one, it genuinely is not possible.
What is your favourite Christmas movie?
Elf! and Miracle on 34th Street, that’s another classic because it’s very heartwarming.
What is your favourite Christmas song?
That’s tricky because I don’t want to hear any of those songs unless it’s Christmas! Anything by Michael Buble and Kelly Clarkson’s Christmas album because I like to hear their voices over the Christmas period.
