Miranda Hart was in great spirits as she greeted hordes of gathered crowds outside the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, London amid her book tour.

The comedian, 51, flashed a smile as she left and waved to fans, who had waited for over an hour to catch a glimpse of her.

And Miranda showed her appreciation for her supporters as she gave out high-fives and cheerfully acknowledged them as she made her way towards her waiting car.

The star rocked a simple black tunic paired with black trousers for the outing, adding a selection of silver jewellery to her look.

Security were on hand to ensure Miranda's transition into the vehicle went smoothly before she went about her evening.

Miranda has been busy of late promoting new book I Haven't Been Entirely Honest With You, in which she writes about her battle with Lyme disease as well as her new husband.

Earlier this month, Miranda surprised her fans as she confirmed live on The One Show that she had secretly tied the knot with a mystery man.

Shortly after her appearance, Miranda teased her new husband's identity for the first time as she shared a video with him on the way home from the studio.

The short clip only revealed her partner's hand as she showed off her wedding ring and thanked fans for their support after sharing their happy news. 

Speaking to Alex Jones and Alex Scott on the show, Miranda, 51, declared 'someone's put a ring on it' as she revealed she met 'my person' at the age of 49. 

'I'm married, I got married at 51 and it's just so lovely! I'd written Gary for onscreen Miranda and it wasn't until I was 49 that I met my person,' she declared, but insisted she would keep her husband's identity a secret.

'It's a little undercurrent in the book, I'm not going to reveal how we met because that's a little bit of a twist. He's my best friend, we had the best fun and I'm just thrilled to be a young bride at 51.'

The star added that she hoped readers of her book will feel hope from her love story, explaining; 'The fact that I met someone during a pandemic, during chronic illness, when I couldn't get out of bed or out of the house... I really, really wanted to meet someone, I didn't want to do life on my own anymore.'

'The fact that I could meet somebody, it's not some some of romcom story but it's hope. Whatever situation you are in, there is always hope, things really do change.' 

After the show, Miranda teased fans at the end of the video as she high-fived her husband, after thanking fans for their love and support following the happy news.

She said: 'Hello, just on the way back from The One Show with little Patty [her dog] falling asleep on my lap and I just wanted to say thank you so much for all the lovely messages about the news.

'It's really very touching that you should be very happy that I'm happy and I really, really am.

'I've got my best friend to do life with and it's wonderful. And I'm also utterly thrilled to be back in tele land and having a book out.

'Um so yeah, thanks so much for all your support.'

She finished: 'High-five husband.'

'Ho ho. Exclusive, his hand. Bye!', she quipped. 

Alongside her sweet speech, Miranda captioned her post: 'Thank you for being happy that I am happy. You’re very sweet and kind. And how we met is a little reveal in the book I hope you enjoy. X❤️'

Fans were itching to get a closer look at her new hunk and commented: 'You’re such a wonderful-hearted (if that’s a word!) person I’m so pleased your heart is as wonderfully happy!',

'Congratulations to you both, it was great to see you on the telly x'; 'Nobody deserves it more than you ❤️'; 'Congratulations on this fabulous news about getting married ❤️❤️'; 'How did I miss this?! Oh my goodness, utterly made up for you both !!!'

Miranda, who has been Britain's most single woman for more than 15 years known for her hilarious romantic mishaps with eligible bachelors, has offered more of of an insight into her relationship in her new memoir.

She confirmed she has tied the knot with man she met during lockdown when he came to fix the mould in her £2million house.

Referring to her new husband only as 'The Boy from Bristol' or 'The Mould Man', the comedian kept his identity a secret but gushed over how handsome he is with 'fine features' and 'salt and pepper grey hair'.

Miranda made the shock revelation in the final pages of her new memoir, I Haven't Been Entirely Honest With You.

In the book, she writes: 'I met my best friend and the love of my life who brings me more silliness, laughter, joy, support, care and safety than I thought possible in a person, because I lost my house due to mould illness and he was the building surveyor on the house remediation project.

'Yes my love was Mr Mould Man/ My Mr Mould Man/ The Boy/ The Boy from Bristol/ The Boyfriend. 

'I haven't been entirely honest with you, he's not my boyfriend, he's my husband. We got married when I was 51.'
