Call the Midwife star Miranda Hart admitted her horror battle with Lyme disease “took everything” from her in a heartbreaking admission. The sitcom star, 52, opened up to fans about her condition in her tell-all memoir I Haven’t Been Entirely Honest With You after keeping it secret for years – and also came clean about her secret marriage to husband Richard Fairs.

Now she has confessed that the illness has changed her for good, telling The Mirror: “When an illness takes everything away from your life, it rammed home to me sayings like, ‘You are not what you do’, and ‘You can’t take it with you’, and all that stuff. It was so easy to hear. Until you are older and you are faced with suffering, you don't realise how true that is.”
