Miranda Hart has shared the first details about her new husband after revealing that she has secretly married after ‘unexpectedly’ finding love at the age of 49.
The comedian, 51, has been Britain’s most single woman for more than 15 years, known for her hilarious romantic mishaps with eligible bachelors (pictured in her comedy).
In her new memoir, she writes: “I met my best friend and the love of my life who brings me more silliness, laughter, joy, support, care and security than I thought possible in one person, because I lost my home due to illness mold and was the building surveyor on the house remediation project.
‘Yes, my love was Mr Mold Man/ My Mr Mold Man/ The Boy/ The Boy from Bristol/ The Boyfriend.
‘I haven’t been completely honest with you, he’s not my boyfriend, he’s my husband. We got married when I was 51 years old.
Miranda explained that her friends couldn’t believe it when she started dating him, due to the UK being in lockdown and her house being on lockdown due to damp issues.
He added: “Every time I told one of my friends that I had met someone, they would all just pause, get confused, and say that with a stay-at-home illness and a global pandemic, it’s not very likely that a gentleman of shining armor appear at the door, but he did. To unmold me…”
Appearing on The One Show on Tuesday night, Miranda couldn’t contain her happiness as she told hosts Alex Jones and Alex Scott, “someone put a ring on it” and revealed she met “my person” at the age of 49 years.
‘I’m married, I got married at 51 and it’s so lovely! I had written Gary for Miranda on screen and it wasn’t until I was 49 that I met my person.’
He continued: “It’s a little backstory in the book, I’m not going to reveal how we met because it’s a little twist.”
“He is my best friend, we have a lot of fun and I am delighted to be a young bride at 51.”

In recent years, the comedian hasn’t starred in as many roles and didn’t return to Call the Midwife due to a chronic, unnamed illness, which she has now revealed is Lyme disease.
He revealed that he was battling a tick-borne bacterial infection, which can cause general flu-like symptoms such as fatigue, headache, joint swelling and fever.
But she wrote in her book that she has returned to a place of joy and peace after “recovering physically in a way I never thought possible” and meeting her now husband.
The couple began their romance over phone calls during the pandemic and enjoyed a first date in their living room sharing a plate of cookies with: ‘Don’t be afraid to participate in the awful first kiss when we had to be six feet apart ‘.
He would take her on walks in the park, to pottery classes and on trips along the coast to Dorset, where they visited Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door.
Miranda said she instantly fell in love with the ‘gray-haired’ man as she explained: ‘I went on a date for the first time in… It doesn’t matter, moving on… it’s really a twist because at one point I’m grieving. My diagnosis in a warehouse during a pandemic and the next I tell you that I met a boy, worthy of considering a ‘date’ with him.
Speaking about how she felt before their first date, she continued: “However, having met The Boy once briefly and having chatted to him a couple of times on the phone (we’re in our nineties), I was already quite taken with him.” .
‘Therefore, I decided that I was going to practice not hiding or concealing any natural emotions. I was going to be vulnerable to forge as honest a connection as possible. When I opened the door, my heart was racing.
The couple later enjoyed a romantic first holiday in Dorset, renting a cottage and falling even more “hopelessly” in love before he proposed.
Four years later, in a moment that would have sent Miranda’s fans into a tailspin, the man popped the question while walking across a wooden bridge overlooking a lake at Kew Gardens in January.
Miranda said: ‘The boyfriend suggested we go to Kew Gardens for a walk. He was a lovely potter and became quite magical as the sun began to break through the gray clouds as we approached a wide, winding bridge crossing a lake.
Miranda also revealed that she had been battling Lyme disease, which had caused her to “gain weight” in recent years (pictured in 2015).
Miranda made this surprising revelation in the final pages of her new memoir, I Haven’t Been Entirely Honest With You, which will be available October 10.

‘I felt The Boyfriend squeeze my hand, which usually meant he was excited by the beauty of something.
‘That was true, but it turned out that his heart was starting to race for another reason.
‘We stood still on the bridge overlooking the lake when the silence was broken when he said, quite seriously: “Miranda.” I turned around and as I did so he knelt down.
For her millions of fans it is a triumph, having spent six years watching her semi-autobiographical character in BBC comedy Miranda struggle to find a husband.
Praising him for “not giving a damn (his words) about what I did for a living,” she wrote: “In fact, on any given occasion, we would talk about my work, laugh at how little he did.” I had seen it.
‘If a show came on with me, I’d turn it off pretty quickly because I didn’t want to meet the person on TV. It was a great gift to have someone say that it was the real me they wanted to know and to be complimented on aspects of myself that I may have forgotten.’
The Call the Midwife star detailed how they took a break because “We didn’t know if it was the right time to become ‘Us.’
But they were reunited and she wrote: ‘The boy became the groom.’ And I never thought I could meet someone who could be so genuinely perfect for me in every way.
Miranda, who is believed to have a net worth of £5 million, rose to fame when her 2009 BBC series starring Patricia Hodge, who plays her overbearing mother, became an overnight hit. tomorrow.
For years, Brits would tune into the comic series on a weekday, laughing (and cringing) at its socially awkward character’s search for love, which would lead to some disastrous dates.
In real life, the comedian also joked about her unfortunate love life, saying: “I was very sexually naive. My first boyfriend asked me to be a missionary and I went to Africa for six months.
While publicizing his autobiography last week, he wrote: ‘Big news: the book will be available in a week. I share a lot of stories from my last decade, mainly what I learned living with chronic illness, but there’s also a lot of fun and some of my big news.’
It came after she revealed she had been battling the secret illness that had caused her to “gain weight” in recent years, making her “feel ashamed” for not feeling like herself.
The caption of the clip read: “I’ve found it incredibly difficult not to feel ashamed about gaining weight over the last three years.”
‘Not because I strive for an aesthetic ideal but because it doesn’t represent me or who I naturally am. But life happens. Illness happens.
‘And it’s a great way to continue focusing on the best healer: self-compassion. Whether I lose it or not, I know I am loved. Peace.’
