Daisy May Cooper and publisher conduct dispute via Carole Baskin videos

Daisy May Cooper stars in This Country alongside her brother Charlie

This Country star Daisy May Cooper and her publisher are conducting a dispute via Tiger King star Carole Baskin.

Actress and writer Cooper claims Penguin Books has not yet paid her in full for her memoir, Don't Laugh, It Will Only Encourage Her.

Last week, the Bafta-winning star commissioned Baskin to film a video demanding payment on her behalf.

On Tuesday, Penguin responded in similar fashion, after Cooper's agent stopped returning the company's calls.

When Cooper posted the first video last week, she wrote in the caption that she was "refusing to communicate unless it's through Carol Baskin" until she received the final instalment of her fee.

In the video, Baskin demanded: "Pay Daisy her money. What is the matter with you guys? Pay her what you owe her, for crying out loud."

In a tongue-in-cheek reference to the Netflix show that made her famous, Baskin added: "What were you thinking? Daisy and I are going to come after you and we are going to put you in a cage, just like the animals that you are, for not paying what she is owed."

She joked that the pair were "going to be coming after you with nets and leashes and tranquiliser darts, for crying out loud".

Carole Baskin is one of many celebrities making a living by sending personal video messages

On Tuesday, Cooper posted another Carole Baskin video - apparently commissioned by Penguin - with a caption saying "my agent has refused to take their calls".

This time, Baskin is seen declaring: "Daisy, will you or your agent please pick up the phone, we can't keep communicating via Carole Baskin!"

Baskin charges £182 for personal videos on the popular celebrity video messaging site Cameo and £364 for one for a business campaign.

The BBC has asked Cooper and Penguin for a comment.

Cooper's book topped the Sunday Times general hardback bestsellers list this weekend.

She is best known for her role as Kerry Mucklowe in the BBC comedy series This Country and is one of the team captains on the rebooted version of Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

Last month, it was confirmed that Cooper is writing a new comedy thriller for the BBC.

Baskin had a long-running feud of her own with Joe Exotic in last year's Netflix docu-drama about a US zoo. Exotic is currently serving a 22-year sentence for plotting to have her killed, and animal abuse.
