‘I CAN'T WAIT TO CELEBRATE BILLY'S FIRST CHRISTMAS!'

ACTRESS SHERIDAN SMITH OPENS UP TO OK! ABOUT MOTHERHOOD, MOVING HOUSE AND HER FRIEND DAVID WALLIAMS

- EMILY WHITWAM

From the first minute of meeting Sheridan Smith, OK! can tell she’s loving every second of motherhood. The actress, who gave birth to her first child, Billy, in May with fiancé Jamie Horn, can’t stop smiling as she talks about her gorgeous little boy.

We’re interviewing the actress about her involvement in not one, but two Sky productions – Jack And The Beanstalk: After Ever After, airing this Christmas, and Hansel And Gretel: After Ever After, which is appearing on screen next year. Both have been penned by her friend, David Walliams.

And Sheridan is super excited, not least because she’s longing for little Billy to see her on the small screen. “I can’t wait for Billy to watch me on telly,” she confesses. “He’s amazing.”

The star is looking forward to her first Christmas with her boys in the house they’ve just moved into. It’ll mark a big change for Sheridan, who lost her beloved dad, Colin, to cancer four years ago this month, a loss that has since tinged her festive season with sadness. “The last few years I haven’t enjoyed Christmas,” she says. “But with Billy, I’m excited again.”
