Stunt coordinator Alex Anlos has opened up about his 'fond memories' of a secret holiday romance with actress Sheridan Smith. The pair met while working on Sheridan's 2023 Paramount+ drama, The Castaways, in Greece.

From Stunt Rehearsals to Romance

Anlos, 42, revealed that he and Sheridan, 44, bonded during their time together on set. The Greek stuntman admitted he was 'flattered' that Sheridan had spoken about their relationship, describing her as a 'great person' and expressing his desire to see her again.

'We spent three months together. Part of that was our holiday romance and we became good friends,' Anlos shared with The Sun. 'We could talk, we got on, on a lot of levels. I always think of her fondly.'

Sheridan's Confession

Last month, Sheridan confessed to the holiday fling during an appearance on Alan Carr's Life's a Beach podcast. She described the romance as 'so romantic,' recalling how Anlos taught her to swim, which she found particularly endearing.

'I did have a holiday romance actually. I was filming in Greece and the stuntman – I'm giving so much away – he taught me to swim, so he was holding me,' Sheridan shared. 'And the next thing we did have a bit of a romance – it's an exclusive! It's so romantic and it's the heat and the bodies are all out!'

Social Media Glimpses

During filming in Greece, Sheridan shared a behind-the-scenes Instagram snap with Anlos, writing: 'Hanging out after stunt rehearsals with @that_stunt_dude Greece. This guy has made me look bad a***.' She also posted a second photo, captioning it: 'Love filming here in Greece. With my set bff @that_stunt_dude. I was a non-swimmer till we met!'

Sheridan's Past Relationship

Sheridan split from her fiancé, insurance broker Jamie Horn, in 2021 after three years together. The couple had met on dating app Tinder and moved into a £1.5 million Essex home before getting engaged in 2018. They welcomed their son Billy in May 2020 before parting ways.
