Miranda Hart shares details of 'dark days' after chronic illness diagnosis

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Miranda Hart has opened up about the 'dark days' she faced having battled a chronic illness in private for 10 years. The comedian and actress, who appeared in her own semi-autobiographical sitcom Miranda, went public with her secret illness in August.

She will now reveal all about the debilitating illness in her new book I Haven’t Been Entirely Honest With You, which is out on Thursday (October 10) and hopes that by telling the story of her health struggles in her upcoming memoir it will help others going through tough times.

When first talking about her health over the summer as she revealed her new book, Miranda at first joked she had "lost all of the midlife weight that was lumped on in the last three years".

She then whispered: "I haven’t," before pointing to the title of her book.
