A POP-UP statue of This Country favourite Kerry Mucklowe was unveiled outside Swindon Town's County Ground on Saturday.

The character - played by Daisy Cooper - is a star of the BBC comedy hit set in a Cotswold village north of Swindon. The fly-on-the-wall-style show follows the adventures of Kerry and cousin Kurtan.

Kerry is a Swindon Town fan and is frequently seen sporting a Robins shirt. Actress Daisy Cooper attended the Baftas in 2018 wearing a dress inspired by Town's home strip.

Ahead of the team's home clash against Grimsby Town on Saturday a statue of Kerry in the pose of Rodin's The Thinker was placed outside the County Ground. Fans posed for selfies with the bronze.

Brother-and-sister pair Daisy and Charlie Cooper, who play Kerry and Kurtan, will be at WHSmiths on Regent Street on Sunday for a book signing.

What Kerry and Kurtan say about Swindon Town

Kurtan to Uncle Martin: "Ker said to me, 'You know that Luke Norris [former Swindon Town forward]? He gets paid two grand to play football.' I said to her, 'He doesn't get paid two grand to play football, he gets paid two grand to fall on his arse the whole game.'"Co-worker Dan: "Martin's the only one who is allowed to make the jokes on-site. On top of the joke, never, ever joke about Swindon Football Club. Especially Luke Norris. Cos Martin used to play darts with his dad, and he basically sees Luke like a son."

Kurtan: “At Swindon Town FC, everyone comes together and forgets their utter hatred of each other."
