Miranda Hart has taken to social media to play down her role in a new gardening series being made for More4.

Writing on Twitter Hart responded to media reports that she was making a TV comeback in Down The Garden Path, which her mother Dee Hart Dyke will be presenting.

The sitcom star set the record straight by writing: "No. I am doing the voice over and have a little cameo. It's my Mum's show and all the better for it."

According to the Sun Hart said: “I may not know a thing about how to garden but my mum is amazing. She fills me with immense joy and laughter as she talks about her passion. The innuendos in gardening never seem to stop.”

She does have a role offscreen though. The three-part series is made by King Bert Productions, the production company she formed with David Walliams.
