Actress Sheridan Smith has disclosed a holiday romance with a stuntman while filming a drama in Greece. The 44-year-old star shared the details on Alan Carr's podcast Life's a Beach, explaining that the fling occurred during the production of the TV series The Castaways.
Smith, who had recently separated from fiancé Jamie Horn, said the stuntman taught her to swim. “The way he was holding me! The next thing, we did have a bit of a romance,” she told Carr. The comedian quipped about holidays making people “horny,” to which Smith replied, “It's the heat, and the bodies are all out.”
During the Greek shoot, Smith posted a selfie with stuntman Alex Anlon on social media, captioning it: “Love filming here in Greece. With my set bff @that_stunt_dude. I was a non swimmer till we met!” Fans responded with comments like “You make the perfect couple.”
Smith, known for roles in Gavin and Stacey and playing Cilla Black, has a new drama The Cage airing on BBC One. She also reflected on being an “adopted Scouser” after portraying Cilla, saying Liverpool fans have “taken me under their wing.”
