“Let’s hope I find my Costas!” Sheridan Smith wants to meet her real Greek lover just like Shirley Valentine as she flies to Greece after her stay in the West End
Sheridan Smith hopes to find her real Greek lover, just like her character Shirley Valentine did when she was preparing for her next work commitment.
The actress, 41, is coming to the end of her one-woman West End play about a Liverpool housewife who falls in love with Costas, a Greek taverna owner.
After her last six shows, Sheridan heads to Greece and Fiji to star in a new Paramount TV production The Castaways about two sisters embarking on the vacation of a lifetime.
The singer told her Instagram followers that she couldn’t wait to land in Greece and meet the man of her dreams.
She wrote: ‘God I will miss this show, the team and the audience! Was my favorite job ever! Thank you to everyone @dukeofyorksIdn and everyone involved and who came to support.

The actress, 41, is nearing the end of her West End one-woman play about a Liverpool housewife who falls in love with Costas, a Greek tavern owner (the film in 1989)
‘So overwhelming. 6 more Shirley Valentine’s and then I’m really going to Greece to film for 6 weeks. You couldn’t write it – let’s hope I find my Costas. Not the coffee!
‘Thanks to everyone who came and if you ever want chips and eggs I’m your girl x’.
Sheridan is currently single following her divorce last year from boyfriend Alex Lawler after four months of dating.
She shares son Billy, three, with insurance broker Jamie Horn with whom she dated for three years.
It comes after Sheridan shared a series of adorable snaps and gushed about her son Billy as she celebrated his third birthday last month.
The Cilla and Funny Girl actress took to Instagram to mark her son’s big day with a touching tribute, telling fans he “changed her life.”
She also shared a nice selection of snaps, including old photos from when he was just a few weeks old, and more recently from his lavish Grand Prix-themed birthday party.
She captioned the photos: “3 years ago today this little angel changed my life. Congratulations Billy on your 3rd birthday! You are my world! 3/5/2020.”

In one photo, the star can be seen gazing adoringly at her son as he sings into a microphone – proving he’s just like his famous mother.
Looking radiant in an instant, Sheridan opted for a white sweater, black pants and stylish white sunglasses.
In another photo taken just days after he was born, Sheridan cuddles up to Billy on the couch after breastfeeding him.
This time around, the star appears makeup-free with her locks tied up in a bun.
A beaming Billy also grins from ear to ear as he sits down to unwrap his birthday presents.
She announced her divorce from Jamie in July 2021 after nearly three years together.
And Sheridan shared an inside look at her son Billy’s epic third birthday celebration — complete with a winner’s podium, ball pits, and race-themed chocolates.
Sheridan spared no expense as she outfitted her Kent venue for a perfect Grand Prix-style party with the help of friends.
