Miranda Hart has been moved to tears after her emotional Celebrity Traitors speech about the importance of 'connection and laughter' during her struggles with chronic illness sparked a viral trend.
During Friday's episode of the BBC fan favourite, the comedian, 53, broke down in tears after her pal Joe Lycett was banished.
After the pair struck up a firm friendship in the castle, Miranda couldn't bring herself to vote for Joe at the roundtable and broke down in tears when he left the castle, after revealing his Faithful status.
Confiding in James Acaster, she said: 'I can't believe how emotional I'm getting.'
The star then made reference to her battle with Lyme disease and ME, also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, as she told viewers: 'Connection and laughter and joy are bigger than this game.
'And to meet someone and just play and laugh, it is all us humans need. I've had times in my life when I haven't had that through illness, and it has brought up that silly, sensitive soul.'
