Celia Daisy Morna Haggard (born 22 March 1978) is a British actress.
The daughter of film director Piers Haggard and his wife Anna Sklovsky, she was raised and educated in Dulwich, South London at the James Allen's Girls' School. Her grandfather was the actor Stephen Haggard and her great-great-great-uncle was the author H. Rider Haggard.
Haggard's television acting debut occurred in "Heartstones", a 1996 episode of ITV's Ruth Rendell Mysteries directed by her father. Piers Haggard had asked his daughter to help him during the audition process by reading opposite the candidates. She later reported that because she is dyslexic "he had to work on it with me so that I didn't ruin it for the other person reading." During the auditions, the producer stated that he wanted to audition Daisy, despite opposition from her father who did not want his daughter to take up the difficult life of an actor.
Haggard later graduated from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. She appeared in the BBC Three sketch show Man Stroke Woman, and in the Channel 4 sitcom Green Wing as Emmy. She also made a brief appearance in an episode of Peep Show, playing a nurse, and in the BBC 2 comedy Psychoville by The League of Gentlemen writers Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith, in the role of a pantomime actress, Debbie. She was Emma in the BBC2 sitcom The Persuasionists.
