On Saturday night (March 27) Sheridan and her fellow judges Adam Lambert, Jason Manford and Beverley Knight were presented with tribute acts for Lionel Richie, Justin Timberlake, Miley Cyrus and Amy Winehouse.

And it was the Amy acts that Sheridan had wiping away the tears.

After they had performed her iconic hit Rehab, host Olly Murs threw straight to Sheridan stating she was a friend of Amy’s.

“I did know Amy,” Sheridan said as her voice broke and she wiped away a tear.

“She was so much more than the beehive and the tattoos, she was a beautiful soul.”

Sheridan’s tears for her dad

It’s not the first time Sheridan has become tearful on the show.

After a performance by a group of Celine Dion superfans in February, Sheridan gave her critique.

“I was so spellbound by you girls,” she said.

“Esther and Frankie smashed it out of the park. I loved all of the moves. Celine is dramatic and I love that about her, you nailed it.”

But she then singled out the third performer: “And Kayla, now I’ve got to not cry when I tell you this.”

Sheridan proceeded to open up about her dad’s death.

“I lost my dad and I stopped acting because of it. You keep doing what you love because you will have made him so proud tonight.”

Starstruck airs on Saturday night’s on ITV.
