The show won two BAFTAs in 2018, for Best Scripted Comedy, and Daisy nabbed an award for Best Female Comedy Performance.
The cast were left heartbroken last year following the death of 33-year-old co-star Michael Sleggs – who played Slugs in the series – after he lost his battle with a long-term illness.
Daisy and Charlie previously opened up on his death and how it was hard to film the upcoming series without Michael.

Charlie said: “It was tough having to do it without him because he’s such a huge part of the show both on-screen and behind-the-scenes.
“He embodied the spirit of the whole thing, so his absence was really hard. He had such a great sense of humour.”
Daisy added: “He definitely wanted to be in it. He wanted it to be funny.
“His family really wanted that and [said] that we should mention it [his death] in a funny way. I hope that we’ve made him proud.”
