The 51 year old actress and comedian confirmed that she had tied the knot to her mystery man while appearing on The One Show on Tuesday evening, 8 October. Showing off her wedding ring to hosts Alex Jones and Alex Scott, she called her husband her "best friend" and gushed that "someone put a ring on it" after years of being “housebound with chronic illness”.
Opening up about how he popped the question in her new book, I Haven't Been Entirely Honest With You, Miranda, who starred in her self-titled TV sitcom from 2009 until 2015, explained that he suggested going for a walk around London's Kew Gardens on an "ordinary January day". She wrote: "We stood still on the bridge overlooking the lake when the silence was pierced as he rather seriously said, 'Miranda.' I turned around and as I did he got down on one knee.
'Miranda...
' I don't remember anything else because I simply burst out out crying, apparently saying yes before he had finished the sentence (awkward if he'd been tying a shoelace...
)" She continued: "I didn't think a traditional proposal would affect me so. But there was someone knowing all my ridiculousness and brokenness and still willing to bend down, lookup and commit to loving me and standing by me for the rest of his life." She then described her husband as "kind, loving, and really fun," before writing: "He's not my boyfriend.
He's my husband. We got married when I was fifty-one."

I'd written Gary for onscreen Miranda and it wasn't until I was 49 that I met my person.
It's a little undercurrent in the book, I'm not going to reveal how we met because that's a little bit of a twist. He's my best friend, we had the best fun and I'm just thrilled to be a young bride at 51." She continued to talk about finding love after a tough time with her health, saying: "The fact that I met someone during a pandemic, during chronic illness, when I couldn't get out of bed or out of the house.
.. I really, really wanted to meet someone, I didn't want to do life on my own anymore.
"The fact that I could meet somebody, it's not some some of romcom story but it's hope. Whatever situation you are in, there is always hope, things really do change.".
