Miranda Hart was left ‘bedbound for years’ after her sitcom ended: ‘I lost my joy…’

OHMYGOSSIP — Miranda Hart was “bedbound for years” after her sitcom ended.
The 51-year-od comedienne wrapped filming on her eponymous BBC show in 2015 and was suffering with undiagnosed Lyme disease, which eventually became myalgic encephalomyelitis, a condition more commonly known as chronic fatigue syndrome.
She told The Times: “I lost my joy and know that I hadn’t enjoyed my career in the way that I knew I could have if I hadn’t been ill.
“I was housebound and bedbound for years. I didn’t have a job, I didn’t have a social life. I didn’t have any responsibilities or identities.”
The TV star noted that she had a “total collapse” in the years that followed the conclusion of her acclaimed sitcom and eventually learned that she had contracted Lymes when she spent some time in the United States as a teenager.
Miranda appeared in the feature film ‘Emma’ in 2020 and in 2017 starred as Miss Hannigan in the West End revival of ‘Annie’ for a period of time but apart from that has remained largely out of the spotlight over the last decade.
She is “not fully” recovered at the moment, but is feeling optimistic over the future.
She said: “I believe I will get better. I’ve only recently been out in the world again. If this was a named condition and this is how you manage it then I could handle it.
“I think the hardest thing about these sort of fatigue-based conditions is that lack of understanding, lack of never knowing when there’s an end date.”
During her time away from television, Miranda also tied the knot with Richard Fairs, 60, who works as the manager of a building company.
She said: “I think I fell in love ­immediately.”
