and tied the knot earlier this year. Speaking on the How To Fail With Elizabeth Day podcast, Miranda said that at the time they met, she was figuring out how to be herself. "It's very silly but I met him at the point where, unexpectedly to me, this story and discovery of this time is learning to be who I am and how to be a kind, loving version of me,'' she expressed."

"I'm not going to say sorry unless I really need to. I'm going to be me. I'm not going to rein myself in. We were chatting, all very easy, all very fun from the off. Then we get a pizza delivery, the pizza comes and I haven't shied away from saying how excited I am about pizza because I think pizza's very exciting. And he found that, I'm pleased to say, charming. He was like, 'I'm excited about pizza too'."

In a hilarious recount, Miranda shared how a pizza delivery turned into an emotional rollercoaster. She shared: "But my pizza arrived and it had done that thing of shunting up towards one end. Mozzarella was leaking everywhere. It flipped a bit so it looked a bit like a calzone, but I don't like calzones - so I, in the spirit of just being authentically me, I go off on one, I get full-on teenage grumpy. I went on and on and on."

Reflecting on her date's reaction, the comedian said: "He was a bit sort of wide-eyed. He's very shy. He's sweet. The inner critic came in and went, 'apologise, do your thing, say sorry I'm an absolute idiot, I don't know what I was doing, I'm only joking'." However, standing her ground, she chose not to apologise: "I thought, 'no, I'm not going to'. In that moment I was p***** off and there was a slight moment and he went, 'that mozzarella's not doing what it should do' and I said, 'exactly'."

Miranda added: "We formed this delicious connection and actually sat eating the pizza in a bit of silence. It kickstarted the freedom for him and for me to just go let's start meeting and connecting and if this is going further in this way, let's not do formal, let's not do small talk, it's not we are."

Revealing the cheeky side to their exchanges, she added: "It's such a silly example but it's also really important because I wouldn't have done that." She admitted to being overjoyed by a text from Richard asking: "When shall we see each other again?" Miranda said: "I was like, 'he does like me' because I was who I was and probably farted within 10 minutes as well."

Asked if she still did fart, she replied: `Absolutely, it's the funniest thing ever.'". Summing up the essence of their bond, Miranda concluded: "It is lovely. For some reason I didn't think it was possible for me, didn't think it would ever happen. And then he came along."
