The 48-year-old from Sheffield is apparently hoping to get a special consignment of Henderson’s Relish, which is made in the city, sent over when he begins work on the latest series of TV’s Sharpe next month, reports the Daily Express. 

A source said: “The relish is like a smoother version of Worcestershire sauce and Sean likes to have it wherever he is in the world.” 

He’s also apparently hoping to get some Fray Bentos pies sent over, which he presumably wants to smother in lashings of sauce. 

A friend of the star said: “Sean has always been a keen fan of Henderson’s and on visits home makes sure he has it on his fish and chips, polished off with a slice of bread to soak up the relish.”
