Sheridan Smith has taken a swipe at a 'fake' Tinder profile used under her name.

The actress and singer was reportedly forced to take action against the dating app after someone created a profile using her photographs.

The profile is thought to have featured six snaps of the City of Stars singer, listing her job as being at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London’s West End.

Her profile biography reportedly read: “I like changing my hair colour, dogs, laughing and sleeping.”

No flirt: The Tinder user accused Smith's profile of being flirtatious

One Tinder hopeful who claims to have spoken to the person behind the profile, told The Sun: “She was quite flirty at first but as soon as I asked her about her job it got her back up a bit.”

A spokesman for 36-year-old Smith told the publication: “I can confirm this is a fake account and I have reported it to be taken down.”

Smith was last romantically linked to Graham Nation, who she began dating in August last year but split from after three months.

A source told the Sun at the time: “She really fell for Graham... so when they decided to end things recently, it hit her very hard.”

“There is no animosity and Graham is still there for her, but she feels quite lonely at the moment.”

The pair has not been seen together since November.
