Sheridan Smith takes her mind off split by spending quality time with son Billy

Sheridan Smith is putting her heartache to one side by giving her full attention to her adorable 14-month-old boy Billy and her two dogs.

The actress and fiancé Jamie Horn have called it a day - and the star is said to be struggling with the sudden split.

The TV favourite met him on dating app Tinder in 2018 and they got engaged shortly afterwards having quickly falling madly in love.

They welcomed Billy in May last year and are now working on arrangements for the future.

She is said to be hoping that they can give the relationship another go, but she's not holding out much hope it has been claimed.

Sheridan is taking her mind off things by getting in as much time with her son as possible.

She posted several snaps on her Instagram of the tot playing with the family dogs in his play pen.

He was standing up, wearing a cute top which read 'The Dog Did It'.

Then she added another photo with his face covered with a big heart emoji.

Captioning the picture, Sheridan simply wrote: "My world".

A source close to the star told OK! magazine that she is finding it hard going after her three-year romance with Jamie came to an end.

"Sheridan is struggling to get through the split - she put him out there for everyone to see and she really thought he was The One," the insider said.

"Sadly it hasn't worked out and she's devastated. This has brought back all the feelings of missing her dad because he was her tower of strength.

"In her heart she's hoping they can make it right, but it doesn't look like there's any way back. They have a baby together and it's tough. She's heartbroken."

Their time together had sometimes been rocky and in 2019, Sheridan accused Jamie's mum of killing her dog and threatening her "every day" in a now deleted tweet.

She later apologised for the tweet.

The source added: "She had the public falling out with his mother and they got through all of that, but sadly it hasn't worked out."

After speculation of their breakup began to swirl, Sheridan and Jamie confirmed their breakup in a joint statement.

They said: "It is with great sadness that we have decided to have some time apart. We both remain completely committed to raising our beautiful boy Billy together."
