In a statement on Twitter, Sheridan said: “So I’ve lost my voice due to laryngitis and not sure when it will be back.
“So sorry for Car Fest where I am meant to be gigging today and just hope it comes back so I can finish Joseph.
“On vocal rest for now until it gets better. So sorry guys.”
Sheridan has been inundated with well-wishes from fans, with one replying: “Oh no, so close to the end of Joseph. You’ve been amazing, get well soon.”
Another said: “There’s nothing worse than being too poorly to perform in a show that you have worked so hard on.

In 2016, Gavin and Stacey star Sheridan decided to take a two-month break from the London stage show Funny Girl after her father Colin fell ill with terminal cancer.
Her decision came after a very public struggle to continue with the show, all while she was secretly battling the trauma of her dad’s illness.
Speaking to the Guardian about her two-month hiatus, which she initially felt she couldn’t take, Sheridan has since said: “I’m proud of that, that I was able to get myself back together to be there. Sponge his mouth. Be by his side. He knew.”
