Mamma Mia, Miranda! How could directors resist you?

DESPITE not being cast in the Mamma Mia! sequel, which stars Meryl Streep and Colin Firth, Miranda Hart has nevertheless decided to make her own mock trailer for the film.

The 44-year-old shared this video on social media, made while on holiday in Greece, which kicks off with the 6ft 1in comedian reclining on a white sofa in a blue dress and sunglasses, singing the 1975 hit Abba song, before rising to boogie outside her villa.

Despite her off-pitch delivery, fans were impressed. ‘Best audition ever. How disappointing that they didn’t cast you,’ remarked one. ‘You would have been great.’
