Sheridan Smith received high praise for her performance in the one-woman play Shirley Valentine on Wednesday night.
The actress closed her stunning performance by welcoming her 22-month old son Billy onto the stage as she struggled to hold back tears while receiving a standing ovation from the adoring crowd.
Sheridan welled up after a pyjama-wearing Billy joined her on stage before the pair waved goodbye as the actress thanked the crowds and left the stage.
