The song was originally a duet sung by Elaine Paige and Barbara Dickson, which was released in 1985.

Amanda, who signed a recording contract with Virgin EMI Records last year, gushed about new mum Sheridan in a separate Instagram post on Thursday evening.

Posting a picture of them cuddling up to one another, she wrote: "I’ve adored @sheridansmithster for years and we’ve always hugged when we met but we didn’t know each other very well.

"I really wanted her to duet with me on ‘I Know Him So Well’ so I just asked her. She was heavily pregnant, but she couldn’t have been more enthusiastic or wonderful when I called her, and the final result is better than I even imagined ❤️."

Sheridan is no stranger to being in a recording studio, and in the music video for the new single, she looks right at home.
