Now we can reveal that she wed surveyor Richard Fairs, 60, in July last year.

The pair struck up a romance in lockdown — and celebrated their nuptials with a Hawaiian-themed party following a ceremony at a country church.

They were pictured enjoying a bike ride close to her £4million London home earlier this year.

The star — famed for her role as unlucky-in-love Miranda on the BBC sitcom — revealed this week she had secretly married having found love with the project manager, who cleared mould from her home in 2020.

In her book, I Haven’t Been Entirely Honest With You, she wrote: “He’s not my boyfriend. He’s my husband. We got ­married when I was 51.”

And then — after confirming the wedding on The One Show on Wednesday — Miranda teased her Instagram followers by ­posting a video in a taxi.

She showed off her gold ­wedding ring and said: “I just wanted to say thank you so much for the lovely messages.

“I’ve got my best friend to do life with and it’s wonderful.”

She high-fived her hubby, who was out of sight of the camera.

We can reveal he popped the question by getting down on one knee next to a lake in Kew Gardens, West London.
