She went on to explain how despite the “wobbles” she suffered at the time that led her to pull out of Funny Girl, the public was able to forgive her.Sheridan added: "But at the time I was thinking, 'Hang on a minute, reality check, I don't want to leave my dad'."My dad was saying the same - 'Don't worry about me' - but how can you not, he was my rock.

I just didn't want to go back."I went back and I got on the train to do the show and I thought, 'I can't do it.' It just felt so weird.

Everyone has wobbles in life, don't they?"Sheridan also cancelled a headline slot at the Royal Variety Performance, explaining she had been suffering from "stress and exhaustion”..
