Sheridan Smith's documentary, Becoming Mum, airs tonight on ITV at 9pm - the actress candidly opens up about her pregnancy mental health.

Actress Sheridan Smith has spoken frankly about her mental health struggles during her pregnancy - and why she thought it was important that she share her own story and those of others.

' think when you’ve had mental health issues in the past you worry that it’s going to appear again suddenly in pregnancy and I think that was most women’s response to the tweet I put out. And I didn’t know what was out there and you always feel quite ashamed to say it, especially when you’re pregnant, I think, when you’re going to be a mum. You feel like a bad mum. How can you be having these thoughts? And so we went on this journey and met the most amazing people.

'I went and spoke to a psychiatrist in the documentary called Dr. Alan Gregoire and he told me that there is actually a lot of medications that you can take during pregnancy, but a lot of women won’t admit to their doctors that they’re on medication, and will try and just stop. And he said that’s not the right thing to do and you can actually be pregnant on some of these medications.

But speaking to Holly and Phil this morning, she admitted a lot of her issues were triggered by the death of her beloved father too.
