Sheridan Smith stars in first trailer for Channel 5 drama The Teacher
The four-part series follows a teacher accused of inappropriate behaviour with one of her students.
Brand new drama The Teacher is set to land on Channel 5 this month, with Gavin & Stacey and Cilla star Sheridan Smith at the helm.
Sheridan plays popular teacher Jenna Garvey, who is accused of sleeping with her pupil, Kyle (Samuel Bottomley), after a night out. Jenna, whose chaotic private life involves regularly blacking out after drinking, has no memory of the night in question.
As her life crumbles around her, Jenna is forced to face a dark event of her past in order to find out what really happened.

"One bad word and your reputation could crumble," she rather ominously declares in the trailer, before she's told to stay away from the school following reports of inappropriate behaviour.
Take a look as she tries to get to the root of what's really going on:
