Miranda Hart opens up on embarrassing first date with new hubby — before they bonded over pizza
MIRANDA Hart says she farted within ten minutes on her first date with her new hubby — before they bonded over sloppy pizza.
The comedian, 51, who wed Richard Fairs earlier this year, told a podcast: “We were chatting, all very fun from the off.
“Then the pizza comes but it had shunted up to one end, mozzarella was leaking everywhere.”
Miranda said she “went on and on getting full-on teenage grumpy”, but was delighted that “shy and sweet” Richard was too.
She added: “We formed this delicious connection.
“It kickstarted the freedom for us to start meeting and connecting.”
When Richard texted about another date, she said: “I was like he does like me because I was who I was, and probably farted within ten minutes.”
She has been off screens recently as she battles chronic fatigue.
Earlier this month, the BBC favourite revealed she had secretly got married following a debilitating health battle.
The Miranda star, 51, then shared a first look of her husband after she was spotted enjoying a bike ride with a mystery man months before confirming her nuptials.
Now she had shed light on their relationship history – and everything wasn’t completely smooth.
In her new book, she told that she “briefly” split with the building surveyor before he popped the question in Kew Gardens.
In her tome, I Haven’t Been Entirely Honest With You, Miranda wrote: “I admitted that I was longing for love within a romantic relationship too, for that one person who truly got me, but my hope for that was very, very slim.”
