Sheridan Smith is ready to start a family with her fiancé Jamie Horn.
The 38-year-old actress admitted that she is growing increasingly broody and said that starring as the narrator in ‘Joseph And The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat’ only made it worse as she loved working with children during the show.
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I can’t tell you how much I love the kids. I am gonna miss them so much. They are all an utter joy and have made the whole experience for me.
"I will cherish the memories and watch their careers flourish. Me and Jamie now are thinking of making me a mamma. All thanks to these amazing souls."
Sheridan’s baby plans will come as a surprise as she previously revealed she wasn’t sure if she could cope with being a mother.
She said: "Oh God, I don’t know. Yes on the one hand, but then am I actually ready? Could I cope? I have to ask myself serious questions like this. ‘My mum tells me she knows I could. She watched me with my dad in the last few days of his life and told me if I could be that caring I would be a perfect mother – but I don’t know. ‘I just know I’m not perfect."
Sheridan and Jamie got engaged three months after they met on dating app Tinder.
The star – who has moved to the countryside to live with Jamie – previously admitted she was stunned when the 28-year-old insurance broker popped the question.
She said: "I can’t believe it, someone’s going to have me! When he asked my mum for my hand in marriage, she said, ‘Are you sure you can handle her?’ I’m in a really good place, I feel really happy.
"I just never pictured myself as a wife and mother, but Jamie is making me so happy that we’re able to have these conversations about our future. We’ll see what happens. It’s so different from what I used to get up to a couple of years ago.
"Sometimes I’m in bed by eight. Gone are the days of me falling out of the Groucho Club at three in the morning. I feel that it’s my little sanctuary, away from the madness. Having to care about things other than yourself is healing. Animals don’t judge you … I love being a farmer’s wife, though. And Jamie calls himself a farmer’s husband. We’re not married yet, but we’re enjoying being engaged and marriage is the next step."
