Sheridan and mortgage broker Jamie got engaged last year after only three months of dating.
The pair met on Tinder, and hit it off immediately – but Jamie made sure he had Sheridan’s mother’s approval before popping the question.
During an appearance on This Morning after announcing their engagement, the actress joked that she was relieved someone was willing to take her on.
“I thought, ‘someone’s gonna have me!'” she said.
“When he asked my mum to marry me she said, ‘Are you sure you can handle her?'”
