SHERIDAN Smith has shaken off the setback of having her West End show ending early and insists: "I feel the best I've ever felt right now.

The actress plays lead character Myrtle who endures personal turmoil in Opening Night at London's Gielgud Theatre.

And Sheridan, 42, revealed the role has been cathartic due to the struggles in her own personal life, even though the production will close this month instead of in July.

She said: "I'm playing someone having a breakdown and I'm managing it. I'm leaving it all on the stage and not having one in real life, so I'm happy."
