Sheridan Smith has sparked romance rumours after posting a photo of her alongside a male companion and a love heart, much to the excitement of her fans.

The English actress took to Instagram on Monday to share a snap with Dave 'Rocky' Ryan, a former boxer who also happens to be the brother of her friend Sandy Ryan.

Sheridan, 42, is smiling broadly in the selfie with her 40-year-old date as she rocks a pair of black sunglasses on her head and chunky gold hoops on her ears. Dave has only fuelled interest in their VIP relationship over on his own Instagram, sharing a portrait photo from their outing on his Story with a love heart emoji. The smitten pair appeared to be attending a swish do, with Sheridan dressed in a lacy black number with a feathered skirt and Dave donning a white shirt and belted cream trousers. In another post on her Story, the Gavin & Stacey star can be seen puffing on a cigar at a dinner table under the stars. Sheridan appeared not to stay the night, however, following up her smoking picture with a selfie captioned, 'Going Home.'

Dave also featured on the Benidorm star's Instagram last week, after she posted a video of them enjoying a pizza together on vacation.

In January, it was reported that Sheridan had signed up to celebrity dating app Raya in the pursuit of finding a partner. The Lincolnshire native split from former insurance broker Jamie Horn in July 2021, less than year after the pair welcomed son Billy together. It's understood that Sheridan met the 33-year-old on Tinder in 2018. The pair confirmed they'd called it quits on their engagement in a statement, telling the public that "it is with great sadness that we have decided to have some time apart." They also insisted they "both remain completely committed to raising our beautiful boy Billy together."

Sheridan took to Twitter in 2019 to vent about her grievances with Jamie and his mother, telling her followers in now-deleted tweets, "If I ever go missing look at Jamie and his nut job mum x she killed my dog so this woman is capable of anything. Also her son hates me like she does and they threaten me everyday x There it’s out there. God knows how this will end but I love y’all. x."

Sheridan has also previously confused fans about her relationship status with Jamie, with her reference to him as 'hubby' leading folks to believe they'd already tied the knot. "It's just a nickname & I’ll let u know when we decide to get married," she later clarified.
