OHMYGOSSIP — ‘No Return’ star Sheridan Smith flew a nanny to Spain so she could film her new role.
The 40-year-old actress – who welcomed her son Billy in May 2020 with ex-fiancé Jamie Horn – felt “very grateful” to have the additional help, and admitted she doesn’t see why people are sometimes “embarrassed” to say they’ve had assistance.
She is quoted by the Daily Star newspaper’s Hot TV column as saying: “I had a nanny, Yvonne, to help me. Nannies are amazing. I wouldn’t be able to be working if I wasn’t for her.
“People sometimes are embarrassed to say they’ve got a nanny. But if I’m working full-time, there’s no way I could have him on set with me with him running around like he does at home.
“She was brilliant. I was very grateful to her because I would not be able to do the job otherwise.”
Sheridan, who will be playing a mum in the four-part ITV drama, admits she finds it tough working away from Billy.
She added: “I was in Budapest for six weeks on another job and I didn’t see him because we were just coming out of the pandemic. I missed him so much.”
The former ‘Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps’ star credits motherhood for making her a better person.
She said: “Becoming a mum was a great thing for me. I’m not selfish anymore. I don’t go home constantly thinking, ‘Was that scene all right?’ I just want to go home and see my son.”
Sheridan – who will be playing Kathy, the mum of a 16-year-old son who is accused of sexual assault on the holiday from hell – recently admitted she has been in tears over her role.
She previously said: “Playing roles before I had Billy to playing ones now I’ve had him, is totally different.
“People had said you can’t understand the protectiveness and the overwhelming fear when you have a child and, he’s not even two yet, but I feel it. I hope it will resonate with the audience, they’ll be feeling all the angst as well. It’s every parent’s worst nightmare. I love playing protective mums like that. Kathy is a lioness.
“I’ve never been to a read-through like the one for this. It was so powerful. I mean, I cried all the way through.”
