Sheridan Smith has shared the first photograph of her newborn baby boy after giving birth on Saturday.

The 38-year-old actor said that she and fiancé Jamie Horn are “completely overwhelmed with love” following the birth.

Sharing a picture of her son holding on to one of her fingers, she wrote: “Our little man has arrived! We are both completely overwhelmed with love.”

The Cilla star revealed the gender of her baby to fans in November.

Last week she said that she felt “lucky” to be pregnant during the pandemic, adding that it gives her life “focus”.

Sheridan has starred in ITV lockdown drama Isolation Stories, where she played a heavily pregnant woman who faces childbirth alone.

Her episode, entitled Mel, was filmed by her fiance at their home during lockdown.

She is also known for her roles in TV series such as Mrs Biggs and Gavin & Stacey, and for her work on stage in Legally Blonde and Funny Girl.

Famous faces including broadcasters Steph McGovern and Stacey Dooley, football pundit Gary Lineker and actress Michelle Hardwick all sent their best wishes to the star following the birth.
