Sheridan Smith admits 'it's hard to let anyone in' as she signs up to dating ... trends now

Sheridan Smith has admitted 'it's hard to let anyone into her world' as she opened up about her dating life.  

The actress, 42, welcomed her son Billy in 2020, with her ex-fiancé Jamie Horn, whom she split from in 2021. 

Sheridan has now revealed she has been trying out dating apps but has had no success in finding the one. 

She admitted she is 'still figuring out' her love life but is more than 'happy' with spending her time with her son. 

When asked whether its easier to date someone in the public eye, the singer told The Sunday Times: 'I don't know. I've tried both. I'm still figuring it out. I don't know what I was thinking being on those apps, to be honest.

'It's hard to let anyone into that world, and for anyone to want to be part of that world as well, so who knows what the future holds, but I'm happy.'

Sheridan went on to say she believes she is good at being single however, her friends would disagree.  

She added: 'Of course, I'd love to get older with somebody, but if I don't I've got my boy and I live for him. It's me and him against the world. Everything is for him, so I don't feel the need now to be dating like I always used to. Hopefully one day someone will love me for me.'

It comes after Sheridan insisted she has 'no regrets' about taking the lead role in her West End flop Opening Night.

The actress' West End comeback has been fraught with difficulties including poor reviews and bad turnouts and as a result, the musical as been cancelled and will end two months earlier than originally planned.

Speaking to The Times, Sheridan got emotional as she explained she was 'heartbroken' for the cast and crew who have 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 put in, 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 that same old boring stuff. I would do it again in a heartbeat, so I have no regrets.'

The critics' views on Sheridan Smith's West End musical Opening Night 

Sheridan Smith and her latest West End musical Opening Night - which is now closing early - received mixed reviews from theatre critics before audiences too were underwhelmed.

The acclaimed TV actress - who endured a public breakdown amid her run in Funny Girl in 2016 - dyed her blonde locks brown especially for the part, but the production received one-star reviews amid some praise.

The Evening Standard

Rating:

Nick Curtis: 'This dismally muddled, self-important, furtively misogynist musical about an actress going to pieces squanders the talents of everyone involved, even breaking’s Sheridan Smith's unique ability to connect with an audience.'

The Daily Express 

Rating:

 

Stefan Kariazis: 'Not even a charismatic, soul-baring Sheridan Smith can save Ivo van Hove's abominable, misjudged musical adaptation of John Cassavetes' iconic, challenging 1977 film.'
