Speaking about the early stages of parenthood and giving birth in lockdown, Sheridan said: “It’s surreal. You’re kind of walking around in a bit of a daze.

“If it hadn’t been a pandemic, we would have had more people to rely on so we could both get some rest.

“But thank goodness we had each other, because Jamie took a lot of time with the baby as well — so I got to sleep in-between breastfeeding.

“But we were walking around like zombies and we didn’t really know what day it was.

“When there’s this bundle of joy, though, the good times make up for the bad. It was just us as a little three, without other people to rely on.

“But everyone who has had a baby always says you just get on with it and do it.”
