No doubt about it, she’s a great actress and a good singer (though I don’t like what I’ve heard of either of her solo albums) and she seems a good-hearted fun lass. Watching the ITV docu though, I wonder if she’s getting too much publicity/coverage, how long her relationship can last while her fiancé plays a support role just laughing at her jokes, and whether she should be eating chips and gravy. Can’t help but feel she needs someone firm to reign her in. Trouble is when stars get that big (in both senses here) everyone around them tells them they’re fab all the time and darent question them. What do you think?

I think she's one of those surprise successes, that people love and she's a good all rounder / girl next door type that we don't usually see anymore, a sort of nation's darling, purely because she is so ordinary and slightly flawed and very relateable. I dunno about her partner ( in this business that's frankly anyone's guess as to who and what lasts and what can't), the odd chips with gravy won't kill her and yeah yes men are the kiss of death with everyone and if she's lucky she'll have someone genuinely watching her back, if she's not it's easy to slither off into a malaise of believing your own hype. x
What I found hard to digest was that it was all about Sheridan losing her father - not an ounce of sympathy shown to her mother who had lost her husband and then was also not having physical contact with her daughter because she couldn't bear to go home and not see her father there.
I think that's part of the problem though isn't it?

I didn't watch so I may be off track - when we get to see glimpses of other people's lives, that's all they are - glimpses.

Was Sheridan's relationship the same with both parents? I know mine wasn't.

It's hard, she's 37 and has spent almost 20 of those years in the business and had hard times (who hasn't) - I hope she finds some comfort in the near future.
Foxlee - I haven't stepped in my fathers house since the day he died. I just can't bring myself to.
ummmm - does your mother or other relative still live in the house?
His partner does. He was with her for 20 years before he died.
no one knows what goes on behind closed doors, or open ones for that matter. Dont' expect a complete autobiography in an interview.

Sheridan was also on the front of my Telegraph and Guardian yesterday, and on the BBC's front page online, so she's obviously done lots of interviews all at once. Then she'll vanish again and nobody will hear anything more for another year except the odd stage or TV role.
she was interviewed on the One Show, she came across a bit needy, not sure she has a great voice, a good one yes.

Whether over her turbulent love life or the loss of her brother and father, SS has shed a lot of tears in public, particularly while performing songs. That’s almost part of her act now. Compared to most people she’s very OTT. In the docu concert, she thanked her loved ones ooop north for “keeping my feet on the ground”. I don’t think they can anymore. And worryingly she always seems one tragedy away from falling apart.
a very fragile soul, with great talent, but I predict a messy and sad outcome

Mystic Murraymints! Do they still make/sell Murraymints?
indeed they do !
Yes Minty is quite right. A very talented actor and good singer, but a troubled individual who becomes emotional, unreliable, drunk, rude, then unwell and ultimately will be unemployable.
I thought it was a one hour commercial for her new album......
She has too many dogs and the one she leaves with her Mum(Dolly Parton) obviously is not part of her pack anymore. Poor Dolly.
A "car crash" waiting to happen... inevitable I fear...
