Suzanne Christine Crowshaw, known professionally as Suzanne Shaw, was born on September 29, 1981, in Bury, Greater Manchester, England. Her rise to fame began at age 19 when she won the groundbreaking talent contest “Popstars” and became a member of the pop group Hear’Say alongside Myleene Klass and others. Though the band achieved initial success, they disbanded after just 18 months together.

Following her pop career, Suzanne successfully transitioned into acting and stage performance. She appeared in numerous West End productions, including prominent roles in “Chicago” and “The Rocky Horror Show,” showcasing her versatility as a performer. Her television career expanded when she joined the cast of “Emmerdale” in 2010, playing the character Eve Jensen for 18 months.

In 2008, Suzanne demonstrated her athletic abilities by winning the third series of ITV’s “Dancing On Ice” with partner Matt Evers, earning perfect scores for their Madonna routine. Her success led to an invitation to return for the show’s final series.

Beyond her entertainment career, Suzanne has navigated personal challenges openly. In 2020, she made a significant life change by becoming sober, celebrating four years of sobriety in 2024. This personal transformation led her to a new career path as an alcohol-free coach, where she now helps others facing similar struggles.

A multi-talented performer, Suzanne has continuously reinvented herself throughout her career—from pop star to actress, reality TV winner to wellness advocate—demonstrating remarkable resilience and adaptability while maintaining her presence in the public eye.
