Comedian, actor and writer Miranda Hart has taken inspiration from her eponymous character and added a new credit to her CV. No, she’s not opened a joke shop, but Hart has undertaken training to become a life coach.
Hart told the Radio Times: “I have heard from people who got through grief by watching something that made them laugh; people with chronic illness finding joy in their lives, which in turn has led to symptom relief; young women who conquered anxiety and depression by believing that if Miranda could find love and accept herself then they could, too…
“Ironically, for the past three or four years, I’ve been researching the ‘keys’ to wellbeing, taking courses and training to be a life coach.
“Yet, within Miranda I was writing most of the keys without knowing it! Now, as a result of my research, personal experience and fans’ letters, I can pass them on with authority.”
Hart has discussed her own struggles with her mental health which resulted in her leaving the role of Chummy in BBC’s Call the Midwife and a remake of Frankie Howerd’s Up Pompeii! However, Miranda fans will be glad to know that Hart is returning to our screens on New Year’s Day to mark the 10th anniversary of Miranda at the London Palladium.
The Miranda cast will reunite to look back on the show and reveal behind the scenes gossip. Such fun.
