SHERIDAN Smith flashed a huge smile during a night at the boxing just days after a huge career U-Turn.
The actress and singer beamed as she glammed up for the sporting event in Sheffield, opting for bold red lippie and gold hoop earrings.
Sheridan, 43, donned an all-black outfit accessorised with a chunky chain necklace.
The Gavin and Stacey star swept her blonde hair into a chic up-do and added a pop of colour with a lilac manicure as she glammed up for a night in the crowd.
Later in the night, she whipped out her phone to capture the action at the Canon Medical Arena.
The northern venue was playing host to the True Grit event, which saw Callum Simpson and Steed Woodall battle it out in the British and Commonwealth Super Middleweight Championships.
Sheridan was then seen cheering as Caroline Dubois and Jessica Camara locked horns in the World Lightweight Championship.
Her night out came after she spent her “favourite Christmas yet” with actress pal Charley Webb.
It was a wonderful Christmas-time for Sheridan, who resumed her role as Rudy in the Gavin and Stacey finale, before confirming her latest acting project.
ALL CHANGE
Yet her outing also comes amid a huge change in career plans for the beloved telly stalwart.
Sheridan previously vowed the “truth will come out” in her tell-all autobiography – yet The Sun recently revealed she has now shelved plans for the book completely.

Sheridan, who appeared in Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps from 2001 to 2009, had worked with a ghostwriter but the book has now been axed.
She was set to open up about her struggles with alcohol and mental health.
The West End star was also expected to cover her romances with actor James Corden and insurance broker Jamie Horn, with whom she has son Billy, four.
In 2021, she revealed the book would delve into “my darkest moments”.
She said: “A lot of truths will come out!”
Yet now, the plan has changed.
An insider recently told us: “Sheridan’s book has, to all intents and purposes, been shelved.
“It’s not going to see the light of day.
Sheridan has had a busy few years and didn’t have time to put the finishing touches to the book. Her mindset is different now and she doesn’t want this version to come out. She felt unsure whether she wants to put all of her life on pages for everyone to read.”
Those close to Sheridan insisted she still wants to finish her book in the future, but that she has been too busy.
