Sherrie Lynn Hutchinson (born 17 September 1950) is an English actor, presenter, broadcaster, television personality and novelist. She is known for her roles on the ITV soap operas Coronation Street (1993–97, 2006), Crossroads (2001–03), and Emmerdale (2004–06).
She was a panellist on lunchtime chat show Loose Women (2003–2016) and currently plays Joyce Temple-Savage in the ITV sitcom Benidorm (2012–present). In 2015, she came sixth place in Celebrity Big Brother.
Born in Nottingham, Hewson was brought up in Burton Joyce in a show-business family; her father was a singer and her mother was a model. She began performing at the age of six, touring the UK's theatres in revues with her own signature song, "You've Got to Have Heart". She was granted a scholarship to attend the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.
Hewson's television and screen career began in the early 1970s with early television appearances in Z Cars, The Moonstone and Within These Walls. In 1975, she joined the Carry On team for the film Carry On Behind and was subsequently cast in several episodes of the Carry On Laughing television series.
As well as further film roles in The Slipper and the Rose with Richard Chamberlain and Edith Evans and Hanover Street with Harrison Ford, Hewson became a regular fixture on television, most notably as part of a young cast of future stars in Love For Lydia. She also had a brief role in the 1979 Alan Bennett drama Afternoon Off as Erin, the ultimately unworthy object of the protagonist Lee's quest.
