Miranda Katherine Hart Dyke (born 14 December 1972) is an English actress, comedian and writer. Following drama training at the Academy of Live and Recorded Arts, Hart began writing material for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and making appearances in BBC sitcoms, including Hyperdrive (2006–2007) and Not Going Out (2006–2009).

Hart reached a wider audience with her self-driven semi-autobiographical BBC sitcom Miranda, which is based on her earlier BBC Radio 2 radio series Miranda Hart's Joke Shop (2008). The television sitcom ran for three series and several Christmas specials from 2009 to 2015, and earned her three Royal Television Society awards, four British Comedy Awards and four BAFTA nominations. Hart appeared as Camilla "Chummy" Fortescue-Cholmondeley-Browne in the BBC drama series Call the Midwife (2012–2015) and made her Hollywood debut in the action comedy film Spy (2015).

Hart has written five books: Is It Just Me? (2012), a semi-autobiographical book; The Best of Miranda (2014), a compilation of scripts from the TV series; Peggy and Me (2016), a description of her life since owning her titular dog; Miranda Hart's Daily Dose of Such Fun! (2017), in partnership with Comic Relief; and I Haven’t Been Entirely Honest with You (released October 10, 2024).[2]

In 2017, Hart presented the Royal Variety Performance in the presence of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, making her the first solo female presenter in 105 years.[3]

Early life

[edit]

Family

[edit]

Hart was born on 14 December 1972[4][5][6][7] in Torquay, Devon,[6] the child of Captain David Hart Dyke, an officer in the Royal Navy and a member of the Hart Dyke family, and Diana Margaret Luce, daughter of Sir William Luce, Commander-in-Chief and Governor of Aden,[8] and sister of Lord Luce.[9] She has a younger sister. She is from an aristocratic background, but does not consider herself upper class,[8] stating that her aunt and uncle live in Lullingstone Castle.[10]

Her father was commanding officer of HMS Coventry when it was sunk during the 1982 Falklands conflict, and he was badly burned trying to escape the stricken warship.[11][12]

Education and training

[edit]

Hart grew up in Petersfield, Hampshire.[13] She was privately educated at Downe House, an independent boarding school for girls near Thatcham, Berkshire.[13] She was a classmate and friend of the sports presenter Clare Balding, who was head girl.[14] She attended the University of the West of England, Bristol, graduating with a 2:1 in political science. She then completed a postgraduate course in acting at the Academy of Live and Recorded Arts.[15]

In 2002, she performed a solo show in Edinburgh, and in 2004 she pitched a comedy show to the BBC. At her read-through for BBC executives, Absolutely Fabulous writer and star Jennifer Saunders was present.[16]

Career

[edit]

Television

[edit]

Before her own series was commissioned, Hart made appearances in various British sitcoms. In Not Going Out she initially appeared as an acupuncturist. However, her performance impressed producers so much that they wrote a regular role for her as Barbara, a sarcastic and clumsy cleaner. She continued to play the part until the production of Miranda in 2009.[17] Hart earned a British Comedy Award nomination for her role as Teal in two series of the BBC television comedy sci-fi sitcom Hyperdrive, which ran from January 2006 to August 2007.

She also appeared in even smaller roles in French & Saunders, My Family and Other Animals, Nighty Night, Absolutely Fabulous, The Vicar of Dibley as a speed-date programmer, Lead Balloon, William and Mary, Smack the Pony (for which she wrote and performed in a couple of sketches and a number of video diaries), Stupid!, Monday Monday as Tall Karen, and as a minicab driver in the Channel 5 comedy Angelos, which ran for 6 episodes.

Hart is best known for her performance in her self-titled, self-penned and semi-autobiographical sitcom Miranda, which started recording for BBC Two in 2008 and began airing on 9 November 2009.[18] The situation comedy also features Sarah Hadland, Tom Ellis, Patricia Hodge, James Holmes, and Sally Phillips. The series is based on Hart's semi-autobiographical writing and followed a television pilot and the BBC Radio 2 comedy Miranda Hart's Joke Shop.[18][19] Described as an "old-fashioned" sitcom, it received positive comments from critics and Hart won the 2009 Royal Television Society award for comedy performance for her role in the first series.[20]

A second series was commissioned and filming started in mid-2010. The series began airing on BBC Two and BBC HD on 15 November 2010. A third series began broadcasting from 26 December 2012 on BBC One. Repeats of the show have begun airing on UKTV Gold. She also presented a BBC spoof programme looking back over 2009 called 2009 Unwrapped with Miranda Hart. A similar show looking back over 2010 was also broadcast in December 2010. In 2014, she announced that her sitcom Miranda would come to an end after two final episodes due to air in December 2014.

She appeared as guest host of Have I Got News for You in October 2009, December 2010 and again in December 2011. On 27 December, she was a team member on Big Fat Quiz 2011, a quiz about the events of that year presented by Jimmy Carr, appearing alongside David Walliams (team blue). As a fan of the series, Hart has also appeared twice on Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two. On Boxing Day 2011, she appeared in an episode of Bear Grylls' Wild Weekend. She also scaled down one of the Alps with Bear Grylls in a show with him in March 2013. She has appeared on the Graham Norton Show 8 times, on 10 May and 3 December in 2010, 29 April 2011, 19 October 2012, 20 December 2013, 24 October 2014, 8 May 2015, and 11 October 2024.[21][circular reference] In January 2013, Hart appeared on Room 101 along with Reggie Yates and John Craven.[22][23]

In 2012, Hart began to appear in the BBC One drama Call the Midwife,[24] playing the character of "Camilla 'Chummy' Fortescue-Cholmondeley-Browne".

As part of the 60-year Diamond Jubilee celebrations, Hart co-presented a number of segments at the Diamond Jubilee Concert in 2012. In 2013, Hart presented a one-off interview show with her hero Bruce Forsyth entitled When Miranda Met Bruce.[25]

In December 2013, Hart appeared in David Walliams' film adaptation of his book Gangsta Granny. She played Linda, Ben's mother.[26] Also in December 2013, she was lined up to star in To Love, Honour and Betray (Till Divorce Do Us Part), the TV version of Kathy Lette's novel.[27]

In December 2017, Hart took part in Celebrity Send To All in the third series of Michael McIntyre's Big Show.

In 2017, it was reported[28] that her sitcom Miranda may return for a fourth series, and was said to be in the conception stage. However, in early 2018, Hart denied the rumours were true, stating that while she had "thought about" it, "that's all."[29]

A 10th anniversary special of Miranda, filmed at the London Palladium in 2019 and described by Hart as "a party (not a new episode)",[30] aired on BBC One on 1 January 2020.[31][32]

Film

[edit]

Hart played a cameo in David Baddiel's feature film The Infidel and appeared in World of Wrestling, a short film by Tim Plester, in which she played "Klondyke Kate", a wrestler billed as "hell in boots." The film was released in late 2007 alongside its companion shorts Blakes Junction 7 and Ant Muzak. Hart made a cameo appearance as a loan officer in the 2007 comedy film Magicians which featured David Mitchell and Robert Webb, both stars of the long running television series Peep Show.

In 2013, 12 in a Box was released, a feature film in which Hart plays a small role that was originally made in 2007.[33] In 2015, she co-starred in the comedy film Spy, which was filmed on location in Budapest, Hungary.[34] In 2020, Hart played "harmless chatterbox" Miss Bates in the Jane Austen adaptation film Emma.,[a] alongside Anya Taylor-Joy and Bill Nighy.

Radio

[edit]

Her semi-autobiographical series Miranda Hart's Joke Shop was aired on BBC Radio 2 in 2008[36] and went on from there to be developed into the television series Miranda.[citation needed] Hart has also presented comedy specials for the network alongside Jon Holmes.[37] In October 2011 she attracted criticism after co-hosting The Chris Evans Breakfast Show with Holmes while Chris Evans was on holiday. The website Digital Spy reported that some listeners were unhappy with the quality of the programme. The BBC issued a statement in response saying, "Miranda Hart is one of the UK's best-loved comedians and BBC Radio 2 felt it appropriate to bring her warmth to its audience for a week. Jon Holmes is a highly experienced presenter from BBC Radio 6 Music [...] BBC Radio 2 appreciates if their presentation wasn't to everyone's liking, but feels it's important to be able to bring new talent to its output and hopes its audience understands the importance of maintaining a breadth of content on the network."[38]

Live performances

[edit]

Avoiding the normal stand-up circuit for more character-based comedy, including an appearance in the Edinburgh and touring show The Sitcom Trials, Hart has written her own theatre material for the Edinburgh Fringe. Her one-woman shows include Miranda Hart – Throbs, It's All About Me and Miranda Hart's House Party.[39][40] She also performed in Alecky Blythe's 2006 play Cruising at the Bush Theatre.[41]

She was among the performers at the Diamond Jubilee concert held outside Buckingham Palace on 4 June 2012.[42]

Hart embarked on her first tour in 2014, titled My, What I Call, Live Show, performing in arenas in the UK and Ireland. Tickets went on sale on 17 December 2012.[43]

Comic Relief

[edit]

Hart was the second contestant to be voted off the third series of Comic Relief does Fame Academy in 2007.[44] Two years later, she appeared in the final sketch from comedy duo French and Saunders, which was broadcast during Red Nose Day 2009. In 2010, she and six other TV celebrities raised over £1 million for the charity Sport Relief cycling from John O'Groats to Land's End.[45] She starred as a judge on both series two and three of Let's Dance for Comic Relief, alongside other guest judges including Kelly Brook, Rufus Hound and Louie Spence in 2010 and 2011.

In aid of Comic Relief, a Miranda mini-episode set in the world of Pineapple Dance Studios was broadcast on 18 March as part of Red Nose Day 2011. She took part in a Red Nose Day edition of Celebrity MasterChef in 2011, which she won. Hart also co-presented Sport Relief 2012, which concluded with her and fellow comedian David Walliams dancing semi-naked to ABBA's "Dancing Queen".[46] She also donated a signed Miranda script to be auctioned in aid of Comic Relief.[47]

Stage

[edit]

It was announced in February 2017 that Hart would star as "Miss Hannigan" in the West End production of Annie.[48]

Books

[edit]

Hart released a book in October 2012 titled Is It Just Me?, featuring stories, anecdotes and life advice delivered in her own style.[49] In January 2013, it was announced that she was writing a second book, called Peggy and Me,[50] which was to be published on 9 October 2014, but was pushed back to 2015, and finally released in October 2016, due to her laptop being stolen.[51] The Best of Miranda, a compilation of scripts from the TV series Miranda, was published on 23 October 2014.[52] In partnership with Comic Relief, Hart released a book called Miranda Hart's Daily Dose of Such Fun! in 2017, which featured something unique for the reader to do each day in the year. Also in 2017, she published The Girl with the Lost Smile, released in October. Hart's memoir, titled I Haven't Been Entirely Honest With You, was released on 10 October 2024.[53]

Personal life

[edit]

In her early twenties, Hart had an unsuccessful trial at Queens Park Rangers' women's team; she revealed this during Would I Lie to You.[54]

Hart is a Christian; she once said to fellow theist Victoria Coren Mitchell, "It's scary to say you're pro-God".[55] She lives in Hammersmith, West London.[56]

During a special guest exclusive on the BBC Red Button, her first guest was her friend Clare Balding who was head girl in their schooldays.

On 6 July 2023, Hart married Richard Fairs in Hambledon, Hampshire.[57]

Health

[edit]

In August 2024, Hart revealed that she had been chronically ill for three years.[57]

In her October 2024 memoir "I Haven't Been Entirely Honest With You" she revealed that she had been diagnosed with Lyme disease, which led to her becoming bed and house-bound with ME/CFS.[58][59] She has said "Probably when I was about 14 or 15, I got a tick-borne illness... and that's when my symptoms started."[60] She later said the “easy version” of her condition was that she had ME caused by Lyme disease. It had “played havoc with my immune system”, with viral ­infections such as shingles constantly being reactivated.[61] She listed 10 keys to living well, which she says emerged after much research and have helped her 'live a life of joy and meaning and fulfilment in a way I never have before'.[60][62]
