Miranda Hart has opened up about her emotional nature, revealing that her husband Richard Fairs often finds her “having a weep” at the kitchen table.
The 52-year-old TV favourite confesses to shedding tears “pretty much every day”. Initially, Richard was worried about Miranda’s frequent crying, but he has since grown used to it.
Miranda attributes her tearfulness to being a “highly sensitive person,” a trait she feels she inherited from her father, Naval officer David Hart Dyke, and one that her mother, Diana Luce, found difficult to comprehend.
On the Therapy Works podcast, Miranda shared: “I have a weep pretty much everyday, certainly every other day, usually a weep of joy but sometimes my husband will find me just sitting at the kitchen table and he’s got used to it now. Normally he would rush like ‘oh my god, are you alright? ‘ but I’m just letting something go, I’m absolutely fine, it’ll be over in five minutes.”
“Now he just comes in ‘hello’ and the tears are pouring down. He doesn’t bat an eyelid. But my mother never understood that,” reports Leicestershire Live.
Miranda is widely recognised for her self-titled BBC sitcom Miranda. Her career boasts roles in several popular TV series, including Call The Midwife, Not Going Out, Smack the Pony, The Vicar of Dibley, and Absolutely Fabulous.
The comedian revealed that she tied the knot with her partner Richard in a private ceremony last year, three years after they started dating. She shared the news of her marriage in her book I Haven’t Been Entirely Honest With You.
In an appearance on The One Show, Miranda gushed about her marriage, saying: “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. He’s my best friend, we had the best fun and I’m just thrilled to be a young bride at 51.”
Miranda is set to appear on Michael McIntyre’s Big Show on BBC One tonight at 6.50pm, alongside darts pro Luke Littler and M People singer Heather Small.
