Sheridan Smith

When I was 16, I played Tallulah in 'Bugsy Malone' at the Queen's Theatre. Me and five others shared a flat together in Blackheath. It was brilliant being 16 and living in London with my mates.

I think the first album I bought was The Jackson Five, but the first CD I was given was 'Cotton-Eyed Joe,' the single! Bless my mum - don't know what she was thinkin'!

I've got mates who have got married through meeting on Internet dating sites, so it really can work out - even if sometimes it does go disastrously wrong.

Why do men fight who were born to be brothers?

I'm a working stiff, baby, just like everybody else.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
