‘Life works in mysterious ways!’ Sheridan Smith reunites with ‘fit’ ex-boyfriend Alex Lawler… two months after splitting from fiancé Jamie Horn

Sheridan Smith has hinted at new romance with an old boyfriend after reuniting with hunky fellow actor Alex Lawler – two decades after they last dated. 

The celebrated British star ended her engagement to Jamie Horn – who she met via dating app Tinder – in July following a three year relationship. 

But a new Instagram post suggests Sheridan, 40, hasn’t let the grass grow under her feet by reconnecting with old flame Lawler, whose acting credits include 2001 comedy Mike Bassett: England Manager and ITV football drama Dream Team.

Jamie proposed to Sheridan in May 2018 and the couple were living together in a rented property in North London.

He later appeared onscreen alongside her in a one-off documentary, titled Sheridan Smith: Becoming Mum, filmed for ITV. It was released in 2020 and followed her pregnancy as a first time parent.
