"Our little man has arrived! We are both completely overwhelmed with love 💙,” she wrote at the time.

Former insurance broker Jamie, 28, proposed to Sheridan with a £10,000 ring and the couple has moved into a rented home in North London.

Heavily pregnant Sheridan Smith brings viewers to tears with emotional performance

Just a month before her pregnancy news was revealed back in October, Sheridan admitted she was ready to start a family after working with children on the cast of her West End show Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

Meanwhile, Sheridan has been keeping busy during lockdown, recently portraying a single mum-to-be in ITV's Isolation Stories.

Filming in her own home in Kent, Sheridan played Mel, a heavily pregnant woman isolating alone.

After enlisting the help of Jamie to help her shoot her scenes, Sheridan said: "I am heavily pregnant and have been isolating at home so I jumped at the chance to make a drama about the massive drama going on all around us right now.

"I think it's really important to try and reflect what's happening to us whilst it is still actually happening."
