Sheridan Smith looks in great spirits as she shares a giggle with the crew on the set of her new BBC drama The Cage in Liverpool


Sheridan Smith looked in great spirits on Thursday as she was pictured on the set of her new BBC One crime drama The Cage in Liverpool.

Written and created by BAFTA nominated Tony Schumacher (The Responder) the BBC One drama follows Leanne (Smith) and Matty (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. Her most recent West End play, Opening Night, which she described as 'close to the bone', highlighted the parallels between her own struggles and those of her character, a functioning alcoholic actress unraveling under pressure.
