I bought a largish potted outdoor plant in Lidl last summer that produced daisy looking flowers during summer and early autumn.Sorry, I don’t know the name of it! It now appears to be dead, all the branches brown and crunchy, no green on it whatsoever. Should I chuck it out or do you think it might be an annual that will come back in summer? And if so, what should I do with it in the meantime as it looks rather dismal at the moment.

This sounds like the Paris daisy or marguerite, Argyranthemum, which is not hardy and has probably been killed by frost. It can survive a mild winter not too far from the coast, but not last winter.
It is wise to take cuttings from this and similar tender plants in the first week of August as insurance against losses.
