Chatting on the Chris Evans Breakfast Show, she said: ‘It’s basically the two sisters going on these two different journeys, and I end up on this castaway island and go from this wallflower to this warrior over five episodes.
‘I can’t swim. I’m scared of heights. I’m scared of spiders. I’m scared of everything. And I took this job.
‘I took it on one episode. I’d read one episode, which was the plane crash, and I thought “I can deal with that”.
‘Then suddenly, I’m in the water for four episodes… and I can’t swim. And also jumping off cliffs.’
‘But I’ve conquered some fears! I’m pleased I did it. It’s really action-packed and so different from anything I’ve done before,’ Sheridan explained proudly.
Sheridan revealed there were also scorpions and added: ‘It was like being on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
‘Well, I don’t know. I would never do that, [it’s] my idea of hell, but it was not far off that.
‘The worst thing for me was I couldn’t go underwater without holding my nose. So I had to have loads of lessons with all the stunt team, because I spend most of my time in the water, diving.

‘At one point I open my eyes and scream underwater. I conquered a few fears, which is good.’
The Gavin & Stacey star went on to tease more about the plot: ‘There are so many twists and turns, and then also once I’m on the island, the survivors of the plane crash, there’s all kinds of suspicions going on.
‘My character is immediately suspicious of people.’
The Paramount+ mystery thriller series is based on the namesake novel by Lucy Clarke, and follows Lori Holme (played by Sheridan) and her sister Erin (Celine Buckens) – whose holiday quickly turns into a nightmare.
In a twist of events, both sisters will have to fight for survival after they get separated in different unknown lands.
Also starring in the show is Avatar actor Brendan Cowell – who plays suspicious pilot Mike Brasse.
Belgian-British beauty Celine, 27, is known for her role in War Horse starring alongside Tom Hiddleston and Benedict Cumberbatch, but fans will also remember her on series like Showtrial (2021) and The Ex-Wife (2022).
Dominic Tighe – known for his role in Hotel Portofino – plays fellow stranded passenger Daniel Eldridge, while Lasarus Ratuere (The Tourist) also joins the cast as Felix Vatuba.
The five-part series comes as the second Clarke’s tropical thriller adapted by Paramount Plus, after the success of No Escape earlier this year.
