Sheridan Smith regrets getting so many tattoos.
Sheridan Smith was full of regret after having to cover her tattoos for a new role
The 42-year-old actress has a large inking on her left hand as well as a half-sleeve as well as more on her other arm and ankle - Sheridan has now admitted she wishes she hadn't gone under the needle because it was hard work getting all her body art covered up with make-up for her new TV show 'The Castaways'.
She told Radio Times: "I had a call three hours before anyone else. I couldn't use my usual stuff [make-up] to cover them up, it had to be waterproof!
"So three people were dabbing away every day to cover it all. I never regretted my tats so much."
Sheridan went on to vow she has no plans to have any more designs inked on her body, adding: "I'll never have another one. Actors – just don’t do it. It’s the most ridiculous thing."
The actress stars in the new drama for Paramount+ which based on Lucy Clarke's bestselling novel, and Sheridan has admitted she lost a lot of weight while filming because the part was so physical.
She explained: "I had a challenge this year, the most physical part I've ever done. Running up and down a beach, climbing trees to pick fruit, jumping off cliffs, going through jungle, falling over, cutting my legs, then they say, 'Go again,' a few times more. I lost so much weight!"
Sheridan had to face a number of fears to play missing woman Lori Holme including her terror of spiders and heights, but she overcame it all and ended up having a wonderful time.
She added: "It's so much fun! Hair wet, dirty, scratched, shorts or bits of clothing from the luggage in the plane, getting more and more wild as Lori goes from wallflower to beach-warrior-queen! That transition was such fun.
"I was covered in freckles, and it's quite nice having no face make-up, just yourself."
