She dated someone else after that but is currently single. (Laughs)”ĭuring our last chat with Sheryl at the 8days.sg Top 12 shoot, she mentioned that she had just ended a relationship with her musician ex-boyfriend. “So usually I just say I’m in the entertainment industry. In fact, Sheryl admitted that she doesn’t like telling strangers she’s an actress ‘cos she’s afraid it’ll be awkward when they don’t know who she is. Not that she would enjoy being recognised. (Laughs) But I think it’s a good thing ‘cos it means I can blend into any role.” “She said I’m 'finished' ‘cos no one can remember my face. “Once, my father’s friend sent him a picture of me on TV, and my dad had to do a double take ‘cos he wasn’t sure if it was me! (Laughs) And that happens to me sometimes too! So it’s very strange.”Įven the director of the drama she’s currently filming, Leave No Soul Behind, made a similar comment. “I’ve been told that I look very different on screen and in real life,” she said.

Now, almost two years - gosh, already!? - after the Star Search finals, the 22-year-old (23 on September 6) has landed her first lead role in Mediacorp crime thriller Key Witness alongside Desmond Tan, 34. While the leggy 1.75m-tall lass didn’t win (that honour went to Zhang Zetong instead), Sheryl, like her fellow finalists, was offered a Mediacorp contract and she's since appeared in dramas like All Around You, Mister Flower, Watch Out! Alexius, and Fresh Takes! short Remember to Forget. She told 8days.sg that she almost wanted to back out when she realised that it was an open audition instead of the more private closed-door one she was expecting, but she soldiered on… and on… and on… all the way into the Top 12. When Star Search 2019 finalist Sheryl Ang signed up for the competition at the suggestion of her modelling agency, she only did it ‘cos they said it would be a good way for her to pick up acting that might help her land more gigs.
