Who is Count Binface's wife, Sarah Daykin, who starred in Fleabag and Slow Horses? Her job and family life

Just when you thought the Count Binface lore couldn't get any better, please allow us to introduce his wife, Sarah Daykin – an actor, fellow comedian and writer who has appeared in everything from Fleabag to Slow Horses.

But, on today of all days (that of the Clacton by-election), she is most notably the woman behind the man inside the bin, who is attempting to take on Reform UK's leader, Nigel Farage.

When he's not wearing a giant rubbish receptacle on his head and attempting to become an MP, the man behind Count Binface (comedian and writer, Jon Harvey) is married with two children.

Like Jon/Bin, Sarah has also spent years working in comedy, both on and off-screen, and has even got involved in her husband's slightly unusual political career too, having been spotted dressing up as a fellow alien to help him on the campaign trail when he was trying to take on Boris Johnson in a political race.

So, who exactly is Sarah Daykin? Here's everything you need to know about Count Binface's wife (the... Countess?), from her acting and comedy career to their family life.

Sarah Daykin is a British actor, comedian, voice artist and writer who is married to Jon Harvey – aka the man underneath Count Binface's giant silver helmet.

The Guardian describes her as a comedic actor, while her own professional website explains she has worked across stage, television and voice acting, with credits spanning the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Sky.

Sarah has worked extensively alongside her sister, Lizzie, with the pair performing together as dark comedy double act. Their live shows have made it to the Edinburgh Fringe, Soho Theatre and Bloomsbury Theatre.

Sarah is currently 42 years old (we think!). In an Instagram post shared on 10 December 2020, Sarah revealed she'd just turned 37, suggesting she will celebrate her 43rd birthday at the end of 2026.

If Sarah looks familiar, there's a decent chance you've spotted her on TV before. One of her most memorable – if brief – roles came in the very first episode of Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Fleabag in 2016, where Sarah was hilariously credited simply as 'Drunk Girl' (I mean, we've all been there?).

More recently, she popped up in series five of Slow Horses as police officer Lisa Sass.

Sarah also played Winky in the comedy Chickens, starring Simon Bird, Joe Thomas and Jonny Sweet, and Hermione in BBC Three sitcom Together. She's also appeared in Stath Lets Flats, Boarders and Here We Go, among others. Sarah is also an experienced voice actor.

Anyone feel like this would just be a really fun family to have dinner with? Cause same.

The Countess absolutely does: Sarah and her sister Lizzie have formed their own alien-adjacent alter-egos, The Recyclons, who are described by their agency as the 'sidekicks' of Count Binface.

Sarah was seen supporting Jon during his bid to take on Boris Johnson in the 2019 general election:

Sarah announced that she and Jon were engaged on Valentine's Day 2021, sharing the happy news on Instagram, and there was another major announcement just a few months later when the couple revealed in June 2021 that they were expecting their first child.

Their son, Rowan, was born in October 2021, before Sarah and Jon tied the knot the following year, marrying in September 2022.

Yes, Sarah and Jon have two children together. Their son Rowan was born in October 2021, around a year before his parents got married. The couple have since welcomed a daughter, Penelope, who was born at the beginning of 2026, making them a family of four.

Adorable! But what we really want to know is who takes the bins out in their house? Is it too traumatic for the Count? Does Sarah stick to the recycling, given her alter-ego? Pls, someone let us know.
