This Morning: Ben asks Sheridan Smith about her love life <\/p>\n

Actress Sheridan Smith<\/a> has opened up about her romantic life, revealing that her son frequently questions her about it.<\/p>\n

The 44-year-old joined Thursday’s This Morning <\/a>to speak about her latest drama, The Cage, with hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley.<\/p>\n

The forthcoming BBC<\/a> thriller, set to broadcast on BBC One on 26th April, sees Sheridan portray Leanne, who conspires to rob her local casino with colleague Matty (Michael Socha).<\/p>\n

Penned by Tony Schumacher, Sheridan was delighted to express her enthusiasm for the upcoming production with the This Morning hosts.<\/p>\n

However, as the discussion turned to Sheridan’s previous and future projects, Ben felt compelled to ask the Gavin and Stacey actress about her romantic situation and whether she’s currently in a relationship, reports the Daily Star.<\/p>\n

Following their conversation about Sheridan’s forthcoming work in Australia, Ben enquired: “What about, because 2026 is a big year for you Sheridan, what about love?<\/p>\n

“Is there any, you know… I feel like someone with your energy and passion, is that part of your thinking?<\/p>\n

“Australia might be some new areas for you to explore?”<\/p>\n

Sheridan responded: “People do keep asking me, actually and since I had my son, he’s the man of my world, but even he’s asking me now! He’s even asking, ‘are you gonna get a boyfriend, mummy?'”<\/p>\n

The actress then suggested she might “manifest” a new partner while filming her latest drama in Australia. Reports suggest that Sheridan has experienced a turbulent love life, which has included a romance with her Gavin and Stacey co-star, a relationship with a Hollyoaks actor, and a broken engagement.<\/p>\n

Heartbreak has continued to follow her, as one of her ex-partners \u2014 whom she dated several years ago \u2014 passed away aged 39 last year.<\/p>\n

Sheridan’s love life came into question<\/p>\n

Sheridan had a brief romance with celebrity stylist Graham Nation in 2017, at the time describing him as her “dream man.”<\/p>\n

However, following their split, reports emerged that she was left devastated when he moved out of her London home. At the time, a source told The Sun: “There is no animosity and Graham is still there for her, but she feels quite lonely at the moment.”<\/p>\n
