Sheridan Smith has got tongues wagging after being spotted out for dinner with a mystery man – sparking romance rumours.
The 41-year-old actress broke up with insurance broker fiancé Jamie Horn last year after three years of being together – and after welcoming their son, Billy, in May 2020.
Fans of the actress may be encouraged to hear reports that she was beaming with happiness while out dining in North London with a male friend over the past week.
The Two Pints of Lager star was spotted in the window of a restaurant sitting opposite a man with sand coloured hair – who she reportedly left with.
The Sun on Sunday have printed a snap of the duo chatting to a woman in the restaurant, while looking happy in each others’ company.
A fellow diner told the publication: “Sheridan arrived with her date at about 6.30 and they sat in the window, enjoying the sun. Neither was dressed up.
“Sheridan was in a black hoodie and sunglasses – but they seemed very happy and relaxed.
“After their drinks and dinner, they left together.”
Back in March, reports said that Sheridan was getting ready to dip herself back into he dating pool after splitting with Jamie.
She had enjoyed a romance with a former flame named Alex Lawler, who she split with in January, and was looking ahead to meeting new people.
A source told Closer at the time: "Sheridan's been through hell over the last year but, after doing a lot of work on herself and getting back to the 'old Sheridan', she's ready to open her heart to someone."
The source said: "The missing piece of the puzzle is finding her 'happy ever after', so she is putting herself out there and hopes she will find her dream man- and even give Billy a sibling."
And Sheridan has previously been open about her dating highs and lows.
She had met Jamie after matching on dating app Tinder in 2018.
And following their split last year, the TV star said: "We both remain completely committed to raising our beautiful boy Billy together. We ask that you respect our privacy during this difficult time. Thank you."
In the past, The BAFTA winner has dated comedian James Corden, 43 and Hollyoaks actor Greg Wood, 42.
Sheridan and Greg even had matching tattoos with Sheridan's reading, 'Gregory's Girl', while Greg had 'My Sheri Amour' inked on his skin each above a heart playing card with 'all in' written underneath.
