Miranda Hart has shared a rare insight into her lockdown marriage, revealing that she and her husband cried on their first date. The comedian and actress, known for her self-titled sitcom, recently disclosed that she married a man she met during the pandemic.
In her new autobiography, I Haven't Been Entirely Honest With You, Hart writes that their first date involved socially distanced tea and biscuits at her home. She described feeling more relaxed without the pressure of a first kiss, but the conversation took an emotional turn when her partner spoke about a dog he had lost ten years earlier.
Hart wrote: 'Yes, we’d been chatting and getting on very well and easily, thank you very much, please. I didn’t police a beautiful, natural, connecting moment when he told me about a dog he’d lost ten years earlier, and how sad he still feels when he thinks of that goodbye. He too welled up a little.'
The couple first met when Hart's husband, a building surveyor, came to her London home to address a mould problem. She affectionately refers to him as 'Mr Mould Man' or 'The Boy from Bristol'. Hart says he is 'the love of my life who brings me more silliness, laughter, joy, support, care and safety than I thought possible in a person.'
