"I wanted you guys to be the first to see my new album cover!" she wrote.

Sheridan announced her album back in August, saying that it had always been an ambition of hers to make her own record.

“It has been an ambition since I was a child to record my own album," she explained at the time.

"So, I'm incredibly excited to be recording some of my favourite songs and working alongside an amazing team at East West Records."

East West Records' president Dan Chalmers added: "We're very excited to work with Sheridan, I've admired her for many years and she has an incredible voice.

"When I first saw her performing I knew that I was in the presence of real talent – she's up there alongside the all-time greats.

"I have no doubt that Sheridan will have a long and exciting career because she's genuine and knows how to connect with an audience, her fans love her and she's one of the country's finest all-round entertainers."

Sheridan, who has previously starred in stage musicals Little Shop of Horrors, Legally Blonde and Funny Girl, will promote her album in a "one-off TV extravaganza" for ITV, singing tracks from the record as well as musical numbers.
