Miranda Hart reveals brief split with new husband as she shares new details of 'best friend'

Miranda Hart has been splitting the details of her relationship for the first time after confirming she was married. The comedian and actress this week confirmed that she had tied the knot with her mystery beau after finding love with him a few years ago.

The 51-year-old appeared on The One Show to promote the release of her new book, I Haven't Been Entirely Honest With You, in which she also details her chronic health battle.

Miranda ended up shocking hosts Alex Jones and Alex Scott as she revealed the exciting news that she's tied the knot after it was revealed she wrote about her mystery husband in the book. She confirmed that 'someone put a ring on it!' as she swapped her sparkling ring from her right hand to the traditional fourth finger of the left hand.

The giddy TV star explained she found 'her person' at the age of 49 while battling a chronic illness. She said: "I'm married, I got married at 51 and it's just so lovely! I'd written Gary for onscreen Miranda and it wasn't until I was 49 that I met my person.

"It's a little undercurrent in the book, I'm not going to reveal how we met because that's a little bit of a twist. He's my best friend, we had the best fun and I'm just thrilled to be a young bride at 51."

Now, Miranda has shared that she and her now-husband almost never made it down the aisle. She and her friend enjoyed a 'sore Hart heart party' as she had a brief split from her anonymous man, reports the Express.

In her book, I Haven't Been Entirely Honest With You, Miranda opened up on her relationship with the man who she met during the pandemic lockdown. She met the building surveyor, who she often refers to as 'The Boy', when he attended her home to look at a mould problem.

The pair hit it off and began dating but 'briefly' split before realising the depth of their feelings for one another. Following the 'ghastly' split, the stand-up threw herself a pity party where the two ate crumbles with different toppings and ranked them.

The TV star wrote: "I followed my own advice and had a sore Hart heart party with my friend. I reminded her that I was the appointed Royal Crumble Taster and she should go to the shops immediately to get me all the crumbles and all the possible toppings so I could go through them and decide the best combination."

"She allowed me to wallow with the first crumble as I missed The Boy so very much, but then she made me list my wins and all the progress I had made using the remaining crumbles to celebrate and therefore not to fully crumble!"

Miranda did end up marrying building surveyor this year and she shared that he proposed in Kew Gardens, West London. In her book, as quoted by MailOnline, she wrote: "I met my best friend and the love of my life who brings me more silliness, laughter, joy, support, care and safety than I thought possible in a person, because I lost my house due to mould illness and he was the building surveyor on the house remediation project."

The star explained that she believed that her "hope for finding love was very, very slim." Despite the couple's deepening feelings they were forced to take a break and work out whether their circumstances would allow them to reunite.

While she is working hard to hide his identity, she described her lover as "salt-and-pepper greying hair look on a fine featured man". She later described her husband as "kind, loving, and really fun".
