The stars of hit comedy This Country spent an afternoon at the County Ground and revealed what they love about Swindon.

Famous siblings Daisy May and Charlie Cooper, who play Kerry and Kurtan Mucklowe in the BBC show, were happy to mingle with a long queue of fans at the charity football match as they made their debut at the Swindon pitch.

Daisy got chatting with fans and found out all about their lives - including all the gossip going on at Swindon's schools and how one couple first met at Tesco.

Daisy, ever the entertainer, commentated the match between This Country All Stars and Swindon Town FC Legends in character and, at one point, performed a conversation between Kerry and her mum as she plays both parts in the show.

She even treated fans to a rendition of the famous 'He's dead' chant Kerry and Kurtan sing in the first season.

Daisy was supposed to play in the all-star line-up but had to settle for a manager role because she had "smashed [her] leg to smithereens".

Charlie, who scored a penalty for This Country's side in the 7-3 defeat, revealed he'd been "very nervous" watching Swindon Town's game against Port Vale and described the result as "heartbreaking".

Paul Cooper, perhaps better known as Kerry's dad Martin Mucklowe, praised the Robins' efforts this season and called them "a top, top club".

Paul, who played in goal, added: "I watched the game against Port Vale, and I tell you what this is probably the start to the best period in your history so well done! Upwards and onwards."

Fictional character Kerry is often seen wearing Swindon Town's team shirt in the show and the team is frequently mentioned.

But Daisy revealed what she personally loves about the town.

"My favourite thing about Swindon is the Magic Roundabout because all them b******s [driving round] get so confused."

Charlie added that the best thing about Swindon was the Oasis Leisure Centre - before he was informed of its controversial closure.

Over 1,200 people turned up to watch the match in aid of the National Children's Football Alliance which Paul is co-founder and director of.

The charity brings children from disadvantaged backgrounds from all over the world together on 'peace' pitches; many of the children often come from war-torn countries or communities of concern.

"The reason we wanted to do this match with Swindon is two-fold," Paul said.

"One is that there's the This Country connection between Kerry and Swindonshire. Secondly, Swindon is the first UK professional club to have twinned its pitch with Flanders Peace Field in Belgium which was the site of the Christmas Truce in 1914.

"Children who are involved with the communities where those pitches are around the world have a chance to come to our Global Peace Games.
