Sheridan Smith has explained why she made a string of worrying tweets last month, admitting she was drunk when she posted them.
The actress, 38, accused her fiancé Jamie Horn of threatening her and said his mum murdered her dog.
She's now explained that she was tipsy and "upset, emotional and angry" as she revealed her regret at making the extreme claims.
Sheridan told Stella magazine: "I was drunk, upset, emotional and angry.
"Can you believe I, of all people, went and put it on Insta again. How many times can I rant off on Insta and regret it and then do it again? I'm such a k***."
In the since-deleted tweet, the actress appeared to claim partner Jamie 'hates me' and branded his mum a 'nut job'.
"FYI if I ever go missing look straight and Jamie and his nut job mum x" she wrote.
"She killed my dog so this woman is capable of anything," she continued.
"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"
It's not clear which dog she was referring to, but in a subsequent video, her beloved pooches Ronnie and Dumbo were very much alive and well.
In the interview she also revealed how she was trying to give up drinking, and was getting support from Jamie.
She added: "You can't do it without support but he knows and I know I'm so much better for not drinking."
It comes after the blonde beauty shared the truth behind the wedding ring she's been wearing recently.
She says she hasn't secretly married fiancé Jamie Horn, despite her new piece of jewellery.
She said on This Morning: "I do wear two bands on my hand, mainly because this one is too big and it does keep it on.
"But Jamie does wear his wedding ring, we're not actually married, we just do it. My friends do it but no one actually talks about it."
