Sheridan Smith hits out at lying ex-boyfriends on new single Priceless
HER messy love splits attracted as much attention as the TV dramas she stars in.
Now Sheridan Smith is setting the record straight on her love life and has hit back at her exes in new single Priceless.
In the tune, she unleashes a furious rant at those who have hurt her in the past, admitting she suffered after being repeatedly lied to but claims to have finally found her self-respect.
Launching into the opening verse, Sheridan belts: “Rock bottom and reckless, I’m running round your one-track mind. I’ve loved hard and too easy and now I’m going to take what’s mine.”
She adds: “I’m priceless, one of a kind. Pack your bags, boy, wait out of line.
“Same old lies, God I must have been blind.”
The lovelorn tracks also see the star show her appreciation to her father Colin, whose death in 2016 contributed to Sheridan going off the rails.
The new release comes three months after I revealed she was channelling her heartache into an album.
Called Northern Soul, the record has been co-written by some of the biggest hitmakers in the world, including Ed Sheeran’s songwriter Amy Wadge and Eg White, best-known for his work with Adele and Florence and the Machine.
Sheridan’s album of cover tunes was 2017’s second biggest debut from a British female after Dua Lipa.
Confirming my exclusive, Sheridan said yesterday: “I’ve been working with some amazing people who can get inside my head and help me write these great songs.”
The revealing tracklisting includes titles Handle With Care, Rock Bottom, The One and Why Can’t I Fall in Love.
Sheridan, who is now engaged to ex-City worker Jamie Horn, had her rockiest split in 2016 when she ditched soap actor Greg Wood.
At the time, Greg was with his wife of ten years Catherine Milburn — and having an affair with on-screen Hollyoaks girlfriend Tamara Wall.
Sheridan has also dated Geordie Shore’s Ricci Guarnaccio, rocker Andy Hopkins and James Corden.
They’ll be on tenterhooks when the album is released on November 4.

Now Gareth is a loser in love
HE is Pop Idol’s most famous loser – having been defeated by Will Young on the TV talent show in 2002.
Now Gareth Gates has found himself losing out again – and this time it’s the one thing he had going for him. His girlfriend.
The failed singer has split from actress Faye Brookes, who plays Kate Connor in Coronation Street, after six years together.
The couple met while playing onstage lovers in the UK tour of Legally Blonde The Musical.
They only publicly announced their split on social media after I put the story to their publicist on Sunday evening – frantically claiming they are upbeat about going their separate ways.
Gareth tweeted: “@Faye_Brookes and I are choosing to take some time apart.
"We remain the very best of friends. We’d like to Thank you for all your support over the years x”.
It’s the latest in a long line of failures for Gareth who has been unable to save his dwindling pop career and has recently been performing gigs at local pubs and bingo halls.
Maybe his ex-lover Katie Price will come to his rescue, although she has troubles of her own.
Blaze erupts in Pricey mansion
KATIE PRICE is used to fighting fires – but the model was left terrified after a real blaze took hold in the bedroom of five-year-old son Jett.
The reality star’s stepfather Paul managed to put out the fire but the smoke damage caused another setback in her attempts to sell the £2million mansion.
A source said: “It’s really bad news. It’s going to cost her a fortune to repair.
“Nobody knows how it started but if Paul hadn’t been visiting at the time, the whole house could have burned to the ground.”
I revealed yesterday how the star’s financial woes are now so dire she’s been forced to buy a motorhome as a plan B in case she finds herself homeless.
The former glamour model is facing bankruptcy when she goes back to court on October 30, after she was given 12 weeks to set up a plan to pay her debts.
Meanwhile Katie, above, who split from husband Kieran Hayler this year, risks having TLC show My Crazy Life axed, after she rapped “I love coke”.
It looks like her house isn’t the only thing that’s going up in flames.
ADELE and her husband Simon Konecki are never going to have an easy ride hiding from onlookers in these loud outfits.
The fiercely private couple tried to hide under their oversized coats in Malibu as they enjoyed a date night at Japanese restaurant Nobu.
Nic's heart's in sex
NICOLE KIDMAN has opened up about her “strong sexuality”, saying that being ruled by the heart means sex can be freer than just going through the motions.
The actress explained: “I always say I’m a pretty even mix, but I’m probably dominated by my heart.
"If you don’t come from a feeling place, you just end up with an enormous amount of technique.
I have brains, but that can be overruled. It fluctuates too.
"I have a strong sexuality. It’s a huge part of who I am and my existence.”
Nicole, married to singer Keith Urban, also spoke up about her struggles with knowing how to feel about movies made by those who have been accused of sexual misconduct, including director Roman Polanski, who fled the US while awaiting sentencing in 1978.
Speaking in the new issue of America’s Marie Claire magazine, Nicole said: “I look at those films that Polanski made and they’re amazing.
"I’m sort of navigating through it myself with my own moral compass.
“Do you ban it, or see it as art? I have no answer.”

Mel B has suggested to James Corden that the US singer may join herself, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm and Geri Horner on a Spice Girls' reunion tour as Victoria Beckham doesn’t fancy it.
Katy teamed her black-and-white ensemble with a yin-and-yang hat – just the thing to ensure Spice Girls harmony.
