I find Miriam Margolyes one of the funniest and drollest female comedians around.

The comments were made on a comedy show.

It was said for effect, obviously.

She said: 'So then I wanted him to get better, which he did do, he did get better. But he didn't get better as a human being. And I really would prefer that. So, we're in the s**t, basically, here.'
