Sheridan Smith in floods of tears while filming new ITV drama after painful family death
Sheridan Smith has been left with raw emotions after filming her new ITV drama I Fought The Law following the death of her brother Sheridan Smith was left emotionally shattered whilst filming her latest drama I Fought The Law. The BAFTA-winning star portrays campaigner Ann Ming, whose daughter Julie was brutally killed in 1989. The role brought back painful memories of her brother's heartbreaking death from cancer when she was merely eight years old. She revealed: "This is the first real life story I've taken on since becoming a mum and there are different things I tap into now being a mother myself, especially with what Ann went through." It comes after a Midsomer Murders star was revealed as Sheridan's replacement in a 'gripping' thriller. "I've played parents that lose their kids before, and having lost my older brother, I would always think about what my mum must have gone through. While playing Ann, those feelings were much more raw to tap into." The programme follows Ann's battle to overturn an 800 year old double jeopardy law in her quest for justice for her daughter. Taking on such a weighty subject matter took a devastating toll on Sheridan, reports the Daily Star. She continued: "Whenever I play a real person, I really want to feel how they felt. I didn't go to drama school and I haven't been trained as an actor, so I don't really know how to turn those feelings on and off. "I just really try to go there emotionally. Ann was obviously in a state of angst from the minute Julie went missing, because she had that mother's instinct, she just knew. "And she fought and fought for justice. So she was in a state of anxiety for years, and I really tried to go there." Shooting I Fought The Law has proved the most challenging role Sheridan has ever undertaken. Yet she's not grumbling because her struggles pale in comparison to what Ann experienced. She explained: "I love playing real people because this job is all about people's hearts and getting their stories out there, so if it causes me a few months of distress, that's nothing. "It's just important for me to do Ann justice. Playing her has hit me more than any other role. "There were some really intense days on this job, but the emotion was a fraction of what it must have felt like for Ann, so you just get on with it." The programme will broadcast this autumn on ITV1.

Taylor Swift emotional as she reveals family's role in regaining her masters
Taylor Swift emotional as she reveals family's role in regaining her masters Taylor Swift has opened up about the day she got her masters back, admitting that she 'very dramatically hit the floor for real' when she found out the news Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift had plenty to say on the latest New Heights podcast Taylor Swift became tearful whilst reflecting on a momentous occasion in her life so far, as she recalled the moment she finally regained ownership of her master recordings. The pop icon appeared on her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason's podcast New Heights to share details with her fans about the forthcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl. Prior to discussing the tracklist and the album's origins, Taylor revealed intimate details about the day she regained control of her masters. Taylor confessed that she had been putting money aside from a young age with the goal of owning her music. She elaborated on how re-recording her tracks was what she considered the nearest thing to actually possessing them. Following the Eras Tour, Taylor convened with her team to contact Shamrock Holdings, who held ownership of her masters. For Taylor, controlling her catalogue represented far more than financial gain; it encompassed her artistic work, personal diary entries spanning her entire life, and compositions from different periods, many of which she had personally financed. Taylor became visibly emotional as she described receiving the news Article continues below Instead of involving solicitors, she arranged for her mother and brother to meet with Shamrock Holdings. After conveying to the firm how significant this would be for Taylor and attempting to devise a strategy, her mother, Andrea Swift, rang to inform Taylor that she was uncertain where this might lead, reports the Mirror US. A visibly moved Taylor continued, saying: "A couple of months after the Super Bowl in Kansas City, I get a call from my mom. She's like, 'You got your music.' I very dramatically hit the floor for real. Bawling my eyes out, weeping, like 'Really! ?'" She continued, "I said to myself, 'Go tell Travis in a normal way,' he was playing video games, and he put his headset down. I was like 'I got my music back!' And I was in heaven crying. This changed my life." Article continues below Back in 2019, Scooter Braun's firm, Ithaca Holdings, purchased Big Machine Records, which owned the rights to the pop star's initial six albums. The following year, he offloaded the masters to Shamrock Capital for $300 million. The Grammy-winning artist revealed the news through a statement on her website and Instagram on May 30. Taylor shared an image of herself against a white backdrop wearing a relaxed blue polo shirt and jeans, positioned amongst her first six records, with the caption "You belong with me" and various coloured heart emojis representing each album.

Taylor Swift gushes over boyfriend Travis Kelce during album launch: ‘He's like a human exclamation point'
Taylor Swift has openly gushed over her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, as she made her podcasting debut on New Heights alongside his older brother, Jason Kelce. During Wednesday's episode —which also featured the Grammy winner announcing her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl — the pair discussed their relationship and how it first started almost two years ago. It all began when the Kansas City Chiefs tight end admitted on New Heights that he tried — and failed — to give Swift his number after attending one of her Eras Tour concerts. He revealed on July 26, 2023, that he made Swift a friendship bracelet, in line with Swiftie tradition, but he was left 'disappointed' when things didn't go according to plan. 'He didn't even reach out to our management... He thought that 'cause he knows the elevator lady, he could talk to her about just getting down to my dressing room,' the 'Karma' singer recalled. Despite his initial failed attempt, the two later got together, where Swift admitted that during their first few dates, it 'kinda felt more like I was in an 80s John Hughes movie and he was standing outside my room with a boom box like 'I wanna date you!' 'I was like if this guy isn't crazy, which is a big if, this is sort of what I've been writing songs about wanting to happen to me since I was a teenager,' she said. 'I knew that he wasn't crazy the first couple of times that we talked, I was like he's truly getting to know me in a way that's very natural, very pure, very normal.' 'Just the way that he could make me laugh so immediately about normal things. Travis is a vibe booster in everyone's life that he's in. He's like a human exclamation point,' she added. Travis also took the opportunity to praise his girlfriend as he told both the podcast listeners and her, 'She makes me so much better…It's like I've known you like you've knocked my socks off.' 'She blew me away,' he added. The couple first confirmed dating rumors in September 2023, when the 'Mean' singer attended a Chiefs game alongside Travis's mother, Donna, where she appeared to yell 'let's f***ing go' in response to his third-quarter touchdown reception. Later, the two were filmed leaving Arrowhead Stadium together — with Kelce wearing a 1989-inspired denim outfit, no less. The two escaped the crowd in Kelce's convertible, according to photos and videos posted online, and he reportedly rented out a restaurant for a private, post-game celebration.
