Actor Sheridan Smith has said she’s changed as a person since she stopped relying on alcohol to help her to cope with life, and instead sought guidance through professional therapy.
The Royle Family star, 44, who’s starred in acclaimed biographical dramas including Cilla as Cilla Black, Mrs Biggs as Charmian Biggs (wife of Great Train Robber Ronnie), and The C Word as cancer patient Lisa Lynch, said she previously used “acting as therapy” before reaching a turning point.
