Miranda Hart reveals the FOX tried to sneak up her STAIRS

She revealed last week that she woke up face-to-face with a wild fox after sleeping in her kitchen while trying to combat the sweltering heatwave.

And just days later Miranda Hart has had another encounter with the friendly creature, who was trying to make its way up her stairs into her bedroom.

The comedian, 47, said she was sleeping upstairs when she was alerted by the sound of an intruder, before going to search the house to see what was going on.

However rather than being met by a burglar, Miranda was startled to find the furry intruder had made it’s way back into her home and was half way up her stairs.

Taking to her Twitter account, Miranda wrote: ‘Fox update – I was lying in bed, upstairs this time, and I hear noise on the stairs.

‘A brief moment of “there’s someone in the house and how can my dressing gown because a weapon”. Then I slowly go to the top of the stairs.

‘The fox is half way up TO MY BEDROOM. UNACCEPTABLE.’

The actress told fans on Twitter last week that she had been suffering like most Brits in the heatwave that has hit the UK, which saw temperatures reach 20C overnight in London. 

She came up with the ingenious idea of getting some rest on her kitchen floor so she could open up the doors leading to her garden to let some fresh air into her home, but got quite the surprise when she woke up to find a fox in the room.

Detailing the unexpected encounter with the urban scavenger on Twitter, Miranda – who lives in west London – posted: ‘In other news… I slept on the kitchen floor (my bedroom is a very HOT room – not in a good way).

‘I had the doors to the garden open. At one point before dawn, this happened – I WOKE UP TO FIND MYSELF FACE TO FACE WITH A FOX… (sic)’

Miranda admitted the incident was the type of mishap her namesake in the BBC sitcom Miranda might find herself in.

Teasing that she could imagine it making a great comedic moment in the series, she added: ‘I may have to do more Miranda to do that scene.’

Miranda ran for three series from 2009 to 2015 on the BBC and featured the clumsy joke shop owner getting involved in various mishaps and accidents.

In July Miranda entertained her followers by sharing a rap she had written about putting on weight in lockdown.

She  shared an amusing clip featuring her new song to both Instagram and Twitter, as she admitted she was ‘over [her] weight’ in quarantine and wanted to make the song for her ‘love of clowning’. 

Dancing to the upbeat track while wearing a hoodie and jogging bottoms, she said: ‘I’ve put on weight. I am over my weight.

‘Over my weight, for me, I don’t say overweight for that dictates a universal way woman need to be. 

‘And that’s not right, but it’s right if I want to lose weight for me, because I feel, I don’t know, uncomfortable and tight, and that’s not right. 

‘We need to be true to who we are, in all the ways, the standard and the bizarre. But even with the self-acceptance that flows through me, I still, like this, feel like hiding, like despite the weight gain I am somehow less.

She concluded the rap by saying: ‘But no and bear with, for I say with respectful loving kindness that I’ve always been, and I always will be, a work in progress.’
