Charley Webb watches pal Sheridan Smith stumble through the streets of Soho while filming scenes for new musical Opening Night


The former Emmerdale star, 36, wore an oversized knitted jacket which she layered over a black boob tube and joggers.

The Scapegoat star has officially began a 21-week sting in the new musical Opening Night which is based on the namesake 1977 film about the actress who is left traumatised by the death of a teenage fan. Her dressing room, which she calls her 'shrine', is littered with pictures of her three-year-old son Billy and it's where she recuperates after performing her main drunk scene, which she'll improvise each night, that is so physically demanding she joked about needing to use shin pads. In MailOnline's exclusive footage earlier last week, Sheridan puffs on a cigarette and drunkenly falls to her knees during a scene that sees the rest of the cast discover her character Myrtle in an intoxicated state.
