Sheridan Smith admitted that “it’s hard to let someone into your world” while opening up about her love life.

Sheridan has now revealed that he has been trying dating apps but hasn’t been able to find her.
She admitted that she is “still figuring out” her love life, but is more than “happy” to spend time with her son.
When asked if it’s easier to date someone public, the singer said Sunday weather: ‘I don’t know. I tried both. I’m still figuring it out. To be honest, I don’t know what I was thinking when using those apps.
Sheridan Smith admitted that “it’s hard to let someone into your world” when opening up about her love life on Sunday.
The actress, 42, welcomed her son Billy in 2020, with ex-fiancé Jamie Horn, whom she split from in 2021 (pictured together in 2020).
“It’s hard to let someone into that world, and for someone to want to be a part of that world too, so who knows what the future will bring, but I’m happy.”
Sheridan went on to say that she thinks she is good at being single, however, her friends would disagree.
He added: “Of course, I would love to grow old with someone, but if I don’t, I have my son and I live for him.” It’s him and me against the world. Everything is for him, so now I don’t feel the need to date like always. I hope one day someone will love me for who I am.”
It comes after Sheridan insisted he has “no regrets” taking on the lead role on its failed West End opening night.
The actress’ return to the West End has been plagued with difficulties, including poor reviews and poor turnout, and as a result the musical was canceled and will end two months earlier than originally planned.
speaking to The timesSheridan became emotional as she explained that she was “heartbroken” for the cast and crew who worked on the play, but said she would do it all over again “in a heartbeat.”
“I feel bad for the team and all the work they did, but I’m at that age now where I want to be challenged,” the acclaimed actress explained.
‘I want to do new things, I don’t want to do the same old boring things. I would do it again without hesitation, so I have no regrets.’
She admitted that she is “still figuring out” her love life, but is more than “happy” to spend time with her son.
It comes after Sheridan insisted she has “no regrets” taking on the lead role on its unsuccessful West End opening night (pictured as Myrtle Gordon at the Gielgud Theatre).
Opening Night tells the story of alcoholic actress Myrtle Gordon (Sheridan) who gets a second chance; is based on the 1977 drama film starring Gena Rowlands.
Sheridan admitted the role forced her to confront her own problems after suffering a well-publicized nervous breakdown while performing in Funny Girl in the West End in 2016.
She said she was “very ashamed of that time in her life” and took on the role to “show she could do it.”
The actress added that she is now “much stronger” after going off the rails and hanging out with all the wrong people “during the crisis.”
Opening night will now end at London’s Gielgud Theater on May 18, rather than July 27, with producers blaming a “challenging financial landscape” for the decision.
Announcing the news in April, the production team said the play “may not have had the life we hoped for.”
Sheridan recently implored people to come see the show after theatergoers criticized it as “boring” and left halfway through.
However, it appears that their petition was not enough to mobilize audiences in favor of the poorly reviewed play, directed by Ivo Van Hove and featuring music by Rufus Wainwright, which the producers have now admitted was “always a risk”.
Announcing the early end of the run, producers Wessex Grove said: “It is an honor to produce this beautiful new musical in the West End, and everyone at Wessex Grove is proud to have delivered the artistic vision of Ivo Van Hove and Rufus Wainwright and his incredible team, led by the exquisite Sheridan Smith.
‘In a challenging financial landscape, opening night was always a risk and while the production may not have had the life we hoped for, we are immensely proud of the risk we took and this extraordinary production.
‘Our world-class cast puts on a brilliant show night after night, and there are still five weeks left to see Sheridan Smith in the role of a lifetime. What is safe and secure has its place.
‘But Wessex Grove exists to produce great artists in the West End and to provide the space for original artist-led productions in the commercial sector – productions exactly like Opening Night.
“We are grateful for all the support everyone gave us while making this show and look forward to celebrating the rest of the way.”
Next up for Sheridan is the lead role in a brave new drama.
The actress, 42, will play Ann Ming, the mother who fought to change the law after her daughter Julie Hogg was murdered by her ex-partner in 1989.
The new ITV drama, due to begin later this year, will be based on Ann’s book, For The Love Of Julie.
After fighting for 15 years, Ann managed to change the 800-year-old double jeopardy law, which meant people could not be tried twice for the same crime.
Speaking about the new role, Sheridan said: “I am so honored to have been asked to play the role of Ann Ming, a mother so determined to fight for justice for her murdered daughter that she spent 15 years campaigning for justice. Double Criminality Law to be changed.’
Fans were left bewildered and bored with the production, with dozens of viewers leaving the show almost every night since its March 6 debut.
