Miranda Hart will be releasing a memoir titled I Haven’t Been Entirely Honest with You.
In this new book, Miranda opens up about her "unexpectedly difficult decade", where she experienced private health issues and other hardships that have reshaped her life.
She says in the book's promotional material: "I shall be honest about those [hardships], because what I discovered in the difficult times were my, what I call, treasures.
"Treasures – practical tools, values, ways, answers researched from some great scientists, neuroscientists, therapists, sociologists (all the ‘ists’) out there – that have genuinely led to a sense of freedom, joy, peace and physical recovery I never would have thought possible. Life now, amazingly, with what I will share is – SUCH FUN! (Always important to quote your own catch phrases…)

"If you fancy having a listen, then I hope my story might help your story. After all, we are in this beautiful, mysterious, challenging life together. Rest assured there are funny stories along the way – we will have a laugh too, my dear chum. Oh, and I couldn’t possibly say if there is a love story in it."

One section of the book deals with health-related weight gain and how she learned not to feel "shame" about the way her body has changed.
"I have found it incredibly hard not to feel shame from gaining weight over the last three years," she wrote on Instagram. "Not because of striving for an aesthetic ideal but because it doesn’t represent me and who I naturally am. But life happens. Illness happens. And it’s a great way to keep focusing on the greatest healer – self-compassion. If I lose it or not I know I am loved. Peace out."
The comedian is best known for starring in semi-autobiographic BBC sitcom Miranda, which ran for three seasons on the BBC. She has also regularly appeared in Not Going Out as well as Call the Midwife and the 2020 film Emma.
