Miranda Hart would love to compete on 'Strictly Come Dancing' - if it wasn't on TV.

Although the 'Miranda' actress has had to learn some moves for her role in West End show 'Annie', she appreciates how tough it is to master the routines and show them off for an audience.

She told Heat Magazine: "I would love to do 'Strictly' - if it wasn't on telly. I think anyone who does it is so brave.

"I am now learning to dance for a musical theatre role I start at the end of May, and it's very hard when you haven't danced before - very exposing and vulnerable-making.

"So anyone who does a different dance every week on 'Strictly', well, my hat goes firmly off to them."

But if she was ever convinced to take part, 6ft Miranda thinks it would be hard for bosses to find a partner to suit her.

She said: "Ian Waite is the only dance partner who is tall enough for me.

"Luckily, I love him and think he is fab."

Meanwhile, the 44-year-old comic admits nothing makes her happier than animals.

Asked what makes her happy, she said: "Animals, in particular my dog Peggy. Animals have always made me smile - their behaviours and brilliant silly faces.

"I will get myself pronto to a YouTube animal clip for guaranteed mirth.

"Watching other people happy and laughing.

"And when someone farts. Do I really need an explanation? Always funny."
