Sherrie Hewson on finding happiness after divorce

You do come out of it

Sherrie Hewson on overcoming the pain of a relationship breakdown

Actress and former Loose Women panellist Sherrie Hewson has opened up about finding happiness and rediscovering herself after the heartbreak of divorce, insisting there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Sherrie separated from her husband of 28 years in 2001 and, according to research, January is the most common time for couples to file for divorce.

Despite the 16 year passage of time, Sherrie told Lorraine you never forget the pain of a marriage breakdown, but said it is possible to find the strength and confidence to overcome adversity.

As part of our Brand New You campaign, which aims to find a healthier and happier you in 2017, Sherrie met 56-year-old Carole Pridmore, from Essex, who reinvented herself after her divorce in 2014.

Determined not to be beaten by the collapse of her 31-year marriage, the inspirational 56-year-old decided to turn her life around. She shed six stone with a healthy and active lifestyle, had breast enlargement surgery and teeth whitening treatment.
