‘BEING A MUM changes your perspective'

While 2020 hasn’t been the best for a lot of people, Sheridan Smith and her fiancé Jamie Horn, 30, were overjoyed when they became parents for the first time in May, during lockdown. Now the 39-year-old actor has opened up about the first seven months with her baby boy Billy.

Talking, too, about her upcoming role as The Woman With No Name in close pal David Walliams’ adaptation of Jack and the Beanstalk for Sky One, Sheridan reveals how the 49-year-old comedian – who is dad to seven-year-old Alfred – is partly to thank for encouraging her to become a parent.

Hi, Sheridan! How was it for you, giving birth in lockdown?

Lockdown was OK at first when I was really heavily pregnant and just sitting around. But Billy came along about three-and-a-half weeks early, so it was quite a surprise and a bit of a panic. We were still in lockdown for eight weeks after that with no help and no antenatal classes, so that was a bit of a scary time, but he’s amazing now. He’s seven months old, and he’s a little chunky monkey. He’s gorgeous.

What’s the best thing about being a mum?
