Miranda Hart confirms she's married and is planning TV comedy comeback
Miranda Hart has revealed that she recently got married and is eager to return to television comedy.
Appearing on The One Show this evening to promote her memoir, I Haven't Been Entirely Honest With You, the comedian and actor - who played a seemingly terminally single woman in her sitcom Miranda, who ultimately married the love of her life, Gary (Tom Ellis), in the third series of the BBC One comedy - disclosed that she has also recently tied the knot, despite having suffered from Lyme disease, a "fatigue-based chronic illness" for a decade.
After recent social media speculation about photos of her wearing a wedding band, she confirmed: "Someone put a ring on it!"
"I'm married! I got married at 51! It was just so lovely. I'd written Gary for on-screen Miranda and it wasn't until I was 49 till I met my person."
She added that she wasn't "going to reveal how we met because it's a little undercurrent in the book" but confirmed that she wasn't, in fact, hitched to Ellis.
Her new husband is "my best friend, we have the best fun" she enthused. "I'm just thrilled to be a young bride at 51!"
"The fact that I met someone during a pandemic, during chronic illness, I couldn't get out of bed or get out the house and I really, really wanted to meet someone, I couldn't do life on my own anymore ... whatever situation you're in, there is always hope."
Reuniting with her Miranda co-star Sarah Hadland on the show, who was promoting her appearance on Strictly Come Dancing, Hart confirmed that she's eager to return to television as soon as possible after her enforced hiatus.
"I'm really keen to get back to some silliness now," she confirmed. "I miss the studio floor, I miss laughter ... I don't have any ideas yet. They haven't percolated through. But I miss fooling around."
Miranda Hart - I Haven't Been Entirely Honest With You
Hello to you, I am with news. I have a new book: I Haven't Been Entirely Honest With You. I know - what an intriguing title!
Basically, I have had an unexpectedly difficult decade - there have been surprising joys, but also deep revelations and challenging lows. I shall be honest about those, because what I discovered in the difficult times were my, what I call, treasures. Treasures - practical tools, values, ways, answers researched from some great scientists, neuroscientists, therapists, sociologists (all the 'ists') out there, that have genuinely led to a sense of freedom, joy, peace and physical recovery I never would have thought possible. Life now, amazingly, with what I will share, is - SUCH FUN! (always important to quote your own catch phrases. . .)
If you fancy having a read, then I hope my story might help your story. After all, we are in this beautiful, mysterious, challenging life together. Rest assured there are funny stories along the way - we will have a laugh too, my dear reader chum. Oh, and I couldn't possibly say if there is a love story in it . . . (There is - shush) Exciting.
