Miranda Hart to make telly return for Comic Relief as panellist on Let’s Sing And Dance

She had hoped to return for the sixth series and the Christmas special but was unable to.

The good news is she will make her long-awaited return to our screens soon, as a member of the judging panel on a Comic Relief special series of Let’s Sing And Dance on BBC1, featuring celebrity contestants.

An insider said: “Miranda had a rotten year after being ill and it’s great she can take part in Comic Relief.”
