One of her crowning moments was being named Best Actress at the 2013 BAFTA TV Awards and being nominated for an International EMMY for her portrayal of Charmaine Biggs.

The autobiography...
However, while audiences cheered, critics raved, ratings soared and theatres sold out, for Sheridan, however, all this success and attention brought feelings of impostor syndrome, struggles with her mental health and panic attacks.

As she fought to cope, every vulnerability was scrutinised under the glare of the public eye, adding impossible pressure to an already difficult time for her and her family.

In her first memoir, Honestly, Sheridan writes very personally and with powerful immediacy about how she faced her demons down, sought help and fought hard for her recovery. Happily settled with her partner and their son Billy, she is ready to share her journey: from growing up in Lincolnshire and those early talent competitions, her rise to fame on screen and stage, and her life off it.
