Can anyone please help me identify a plant that has shot up in my garden?

It is about 4.5 feet high and has recently begun to put out flower buds.
It is in a bright East facing corner in Surrey.

Some pictures can be found he

Looks as if you have a caterpillar leaving droppings over the top leaf and
the flower buds.

It reminds me a little of chicory, but that usually is branched and not
such
cut leaves.(Has blue flowers)

So complex that it has to be suffering from 'fasciation' to some
degree. Could be Verbascum!?
