Sheridan Smith ‘upset’ after ‘not being treated with kindness’ on Jonathan Ross Show

Sheridan Smith has reportedly had a backstage row after growing “furious” during her time on The Jonathan Ross Show.

The actor and singer, 40, will appear on Saturday’s episode of the ITV series (27 November) alongside Gary Barlow, with whom she has recorded a Christmas duet, as well as Jeremy Clarkson, Riz Ahmed and Sting.

However, it’s being claimed that she had a fight with her team and made accusations of “male chauvinism” after recording had ended.

A source told The Sun: “She claimed the atmosphere was chauvinistic and there was an air of misogyny. She also claimed that she felt she had not been treated with kindness.”

A spokesperson confirmed to the outlet that Sheridan “appeared to become upset” after her time on the show despite seemingly having “a great time” during filming.

They said this “upset” prompted Ross to ask Smith if she was OK, to which she responded: “Don’t worry, it’s not you.”

“So Jonathan assumed it was a personal matter between Sheridan and the group of people she’d come with,” the statement continued.

“We will investigate immediately. I hope Sheridan knows we would never take a claim of this kind lightly.”

The Independent has contacted ITV and Smith for comment.
