Comedian Miranda Hart has candidly revealed she has been battling a secret illness, which has led to significant weight gain over the past three years. In a video promoting her new book, 'I Haven't Been Entirely Honest With You,' Hart expressed the shame she felt, not due to aesthetic ideals, but because the weight doesn't represent her true self. She emphasized her journey towards self-compassion and dismantling negative feelings about her body. Despite not disclosing the specific illness, Hart's openness has garnered significant support from her fans. She also addressed past Twitter abuse where trolls targeted her weight gain. The video post underscores her message of self-love and acceptance in the face of life's challenges.
