Sheridan Smith gets a visit from close friend Charley Webb as she films BBC One drama The Cage in Liverpool


The actress, 43, who plays a thief named Leanne, was greeted on set by the soapstar, 37, as they caught up between takes.

Written and created by BAFTA nominated Tony Schumacher (The Responder) the drama follows Leanne (Sheridan) and Matty (Michael Socha) who discover they are both robbing from the safe at the inner-city casino they work in. Announced in 2021, the tell-all book was intended to explore the actress's darkest moments, including her battles with alcohol, mental health struggles and high-profile relationships, such as those with actor James Corden and Jamie Horn, the father of her son. 'The public always stood by me... People were stopping me and cuddling me on the street,' she shared in a recent interview, expressing gratitude for the understanding she received during that time.
