SHARON HORGAN’s relationship with Madchester star Tim Burgess is truly surprising.
The Bafta-winning Irish actress was spotted making out with The Charlatans frontman on the side of a busy road this week.

It is said that Sharon has been a fan of Tim since he became famous with the hit “The Only One I Know” in 1990 when she was a teenager.
They got to know each other after he tweeted about how much he loves her on the C4 Catastrophe show.
And as their friendship developed, she even sang on The Charlatans’ 2017 album Different Days. A source said: “Sharon and Tim kept their relationship under wraps, but that didn’t stop them from kissing next to a busy road in London.
“They seemed lost in each other and didn’t seem to care who saw them.”
Sharon was married to producer Jeremy Rainbird for 14 years and has two children with him.
Tim has a son with electronic musician Nick Kolk Void, but it is not clear if they are together.
He gradually got to know Sharon after she retweeted his praise of “Catastrophe”. He said: “We had a little trip to meet at music festivals, and Sharon came to see how we play in New York.”
Tim was then invited to the set of Divorce, starring Sarah Jessica Parker, for which Sharon wrote and produced from 2016 to 2019.
Representatives for Sharon and Tim declined to comment.

The Anywhere singer, who is working on her third album, said of living in the spotlight, “It’s definitely a shock to your body because you’ve never experienced it before.
“People ask me all the time, ‘What is fame like? And it’s really hard to explain fame if you’re not in it. This is a very strange concept. I don’t really think of it as a reality. . . I don’t carry it home with me.”
In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar Australia, accompanied by this photo and the exposed belly below, she continued: “I like to think of myself as a normal person. When I go outside, I know it’s work time.
“People can come up and talk to you. People can come and take pictures of you. It’s just something that comes with territory.
“You also have to understand what you’ve signed up for and choose the places where you’d like to keep it private.”

“I asked the girls if they wanted to ask me anything. There was a long silence until a voice called out, “What shoes are you wearing?”
“There was a sharp breath in the room. I said, “Hush, puppies.”
“The girls looked at each other and one of them said, ‘It’s okay, we can hire him.’
