“Acting abilities aside, the characteristics which make Sheridan Smith a star are her authenticity and lack of pretension. Both qualities shone brightly throughout “Sheridan Smith: Becoming Mum”, an affecting documentary, in which Smith assessed how success had affected her mental health and explained why she desperately hopes the arrival of her new baby will open a fresh chapter in her life.” – Adam Sweeting, The i
“The star’s battles with drink and depression have played out in public, and worsened following the death of her father Colin from cancer in 2016. But she has never talked so frankly about them before, and her openness is timely: countless women must be struggling with anxiety and mental health problems as she has during lockdown. Her courageous honesty will have given strength to a lot of people.” – Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail
