In my head, I have the most sensational singing voice. I perform concerts to thousands in the shower. The reality is I can hold a tune. The dream is a West End musical one day - no, really! Miranda Hart concertdaydream Change image and share on social
I'm quite a confident person in many ways, but there's only so much you can hear about being compared to Hattie Jacques. For the record, she was a comedy goddess, but she was 25 stone. I hope I'm right in saying I'm not in any way nearly 25 stone. Miranda Hart comedycompareconfident share on social

It's a vicious circle. If you feel hideous, you convey it to people.

I never admitted what I wanted to do for a career to anyone until I was 26. I wish I'd piped up at 18. Miranda Hart admitcareerpipe Change image and share on social
I'm very much in denial that I can't dance. I really go for it, which is almost more embarrassing. Miranda Hart dancedenialembarrass Change image and share on social
However much I might have yearned to be one of The Beautiful Ones, particularly at those ghastly school discos, where any desperate attempt to impress the opposite sex lead to at best deep humiliation, I now feel extremely blessed that I wasn't. Miranda Hart attemptbeautifulbless share on social
