The 25-year-old shot to stardom with the release of Star Wars The Force Awakens two years ago and tomorrow fans will be able to see her in the hotly anticipated follow-up.
However Daisy has revealed she didn’t feel comfortable starting The Last Jedi.
Appearing on Lorraine this morning, the Rey star said: “I didn’t feel as comfortable going into it because the first film had just come out and it was nuts.
“And I was like, ‘Arrghh! I don’t know how to do this again’, like I didn’t know what I did first time round.”

Daisy continued: “But I think by the end of it, I was like, ‘Now I have a sense of her, which was great. Right at the end of it.”
According to Rolling Stone, the 25-year-old said: “Everyone was saying it was going to be Rian [Johnson, The Last Jedi director] and everything, so I was genuinely quite surprised.
“And was like ‘Oh my god!’ and I started crying immediately with three people in the office.”

Daisy added: “And they were like, ‘What the f*** just happened?' So I emailed J.J. saying, ‘Oh my god I am crying.’
“And he goes, ‘Oh my god, me too.’ And then we had a conversation a few days later and we stay in touch. But we stayed in touch the whole time anyway.”
Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi is released in UK cinemas tomorrow.
