Celebrity Traitors star visits Agatha Christie's Oxfordshire grave

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Oct, 12:02 · Archive

Miranda Hart, a contestant on BBC One's Celebrity Traitors, visited Agatha Christie's grave in Oxfordshire.

Miranda Hart, a cast member of the second series of BBC One's Celebrity Traitors, has visited St Mary's Church graveyard in Cholsey, Oxfordshire, where crime novelist Agatha Christie is buried. The graveyard visit appears connected to Hart's approach on the game show, in which she has adopted the character 'Miss Marple', the amateur detective created by Christie for her crime novels.

Agatha Christie, known as the 'Queen of Crime' for writing 66 detective novels, lived much of her life at Winterbrook House near Wallingford in Oxfordshire. Hart shared a photograph from the windswept graveyard visit on social media, writing that 'sometimes when it's not happening you just have to step away from the desk and go on an adventure to reset'.

The Celebrity Traitors, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, launched on BBC One this month with an all-star cast including Richard E. Grant, Michael Sheen, James Blunt and Rob Beckett. Hart has enjoyed success in the opening weeks of the series using the Miss Marple character to help identify the show's traitors.
