Default Any idea what this flower is?

Last year we planted some pots up with Tete a Tete Daffadils, this plant must have been in with the bag of Daffadils.
The plant has similar leave's and size of a Tete a Tete.
Any idea what it is?

Actually, I thought of Star of Bethlehem - except it didn't look quite like the ones I had. My were nutans (nodding) so a bit different.
