Sheridan Smith piled on the weight for her role of Julie Bushby in The Moorside .

She played Karen Matthews' best friend in the BBC drama about the 2008 disappearance of Shannon Matthews.

But Sheridan confessed she's struggling to lose the weight as she turned up to the Olivier Awards tonight, in a floor-length black dress.

Speaking to The Sun, she said: "I put on some weight for The Moorside and Ive still got a load, but Im trying to lose it.

I wanted to get into the character and became very good friends with Julie. Julie is a lot taller than me so it was about bulking up.

We spoke lots and I tried to get her accent, shes an incredible woman and we still speak a lot.

Sheridan also admitted she enjoys playing real life characters, like Julie, so she can become "obsessed" by them.

The star of stage and screen, 35, has played Ronnie Biggs wife Chamian and Cilla Black as well as Julie on TV, and more recently Broadway star Fanny Brice in Funny Girl on stage.

Speaking at the Olivier Awards, she told The Mirror: I really do like real life characters and I keep doing it.

"Everytime I get a script and it's not a real life person I'm like 'hmmm'.

"I mean, I'll still do those roles that are fictional but there's something about getting under the skin and doing a role and getting to know them that I love. I know that sounds really weird and actory.

I usually get a bit obsessed by the real person. I think maybe I just enjoy losing myself in other people rather than just being me. But that's something that I love and I'm just so honoured that they would let me get to know them and play them. It's a massive trust thing for them.

"They trust you and I love that.
