This one-off TV extravaganza will see the multi award-winning actress and singer headline her very own show, Sheridan, for the first time.

The star of ITV shows such as Mrs Biggs and Cilla - for which she won a BAFTA TV Award - will showcase exclusive performances of songs from her new album, as well as an array of stunning musical numbers, all accompanied by a live orchestra.

Sheridan will also be speaking all about her life, stratospheric career and status as a national treasure.

The show, made by ITV studios, is sure to be a wonderful celebration of Sheridan, one of Britain’s most recognisable stars of stage and screen, and her love of music and performing.

Sheridan said: “I am so excited to be performing my songs and sharing my journey with my fans, friends and family. It’s a dream come true...”

Lee Connolly, Creative Director for ITV Entertainment, said: “With such a stellar career as an actor, it’s easy to forget that Sheridan is also a wonderful singer. With brilliant performances in ITV’s Cilla and as Fanny Brice in Funny Girl it reminded us why Sheridan is such a special and unique performer and we are delighted to be making this one off special with her.”
