Miranda Hart is set to return to screens as a contestant on the next season of The Celebrity Traitors, with multiple outlets reporting she has signed up to the show after stepping away from the spotlight due to health problems. The programme’s second run is scheduled to begin next month and features a cast of 21 celebrities.
Hart has spoken about managing chronic illness, including ongoing fatigue and pain. She tells the BBC that elements of ME still affect her day-to-day, and that while she feels well enough to take on the challenge, she expects it could be physically demanding. The Mirror frames the decision as following “health issues” and explains that her participation comes after years out of the public eye.
Across coverage, Hart also shares personal context from her time away, including that she was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome after contracting Lyme disease, and that she quietly married her husband during that period. She describes her motivation as returning to the experience of making television with other contestants, while acknowledging she may need support during the competition.
