Miranda Hart has squashed rumours of her hosting a Generation Game reboot.

While Hart revealed she had spoken to the BBC about the show, she said that the story "got massively blown out of order".

Speaking to BBC News about her negotiations with the broadcaster, the 42-year-old insisted: "It was literally an informal chat with the BBC.

"We talked about it and whether the format would work for a modern audience - but that is literally all it was, just a chat, nothing more."

Hart added: "It got massively blown out of order in the press and, no, we are not doing it right now."

The classic BBC TV game show, which has previously been presented by the likes of Bruce Forsyth, the late Larry Grayson and Jim Davidson, was reported to be returning last year.

The Miranda star was previously rumoured to be in talks to present it, after appearing on a one-off special of the show for Comic Relief in 2011.
