Sheridan Smith is seeing WWE fighter Stuart Tomlinson after recently splitting up with her ex
The Sun revealed last month that the actress had split up from her model boyfriend Graham Nation
SHERIDAN Smith has been on a series of dates with an ex-wrestler called The Tank.
The actress, 36 — who recently split from on-off boyfriend Graham Nation — has secretly been seeing heavily tattooed Stuart Tomlinson.
Stuart, 32, took to the ring as Hugo Knox and got his nickname because of his musclebound physique.
He took up wrestling in 2014 after quitting professional football, but has switched back and is a goalkeeper for non-league Altrincham FC.
A source close to him said: “Sheridan and Stuart have been seeing each other for a while — they began speaking around October and have met quite a few times.
“Usually Stuart goes to her flat in North London.
“It’s casual so far, but they really enjoy each other’s company.
“Sheridan likes guys who have muscles and tattoos, so Stuart is her type.”
Despite claiming to be “on her own”, Sheridan hinted at romance on TV’s Jonathan Ross Show last month.
Asked if she had a new man in her life, she said: “I don’t know what I’m in at the minute".

"I’m just having a bit of fun, but I’m kind of hanging out with somebody.”
The source added she was referring to Stuart.
Sheridan has previously said she is a “disaster” in relationships.
