The actress came from humble beginnings in Epworth, Lincs, and didn't go to a fancy stage school like many aspiring actors.

She thought she had no chance of being taken seriously by the industry.

Opening up about her career, Sheridan admits: "I never went to drama school. I haven't been trained as an actor... I'm just grateful for every job."

Sheridan got her first big TV role in the late 90s on classic comedy, The Royle Family.

After that she appeared on hits including Fat Friends, Gavin & Stacey and Benidorm.
