Hear'Say girl on the hard times

Former Hear'Say singer Suzanne Shaw tells Hello! she nearly went bankrupt after the band collapsed, going without food so her son could eat.

Former Hear'Say girl and, I'm reliably informed, most recent 'Dancing On Ice' winner Suzanne Shaw, has told reporters that after the Popstars band collapsed she almost went bankrupt. The financial woes got worst shortly after her split from Darren Day, apparently. She told Hello!: "I was told by four different debt advisers that I had no option but to go bankrupt . But I refused. I crawled on the floor to hide when bailiffs came knocking". On being broke while bringing up a young child, she continued: "I went without food so Corey could eat and kept a penny jar, where I would save enough to make sure I could buy bread and milk when I ran out of food. At one point my mum, Janet, who was living in New Zealand, had to order food parcels from a British website". Poor girl. Still, the ice dancing victory should guarantee her a few quid in the coming months, enabling her to replenish that penny jar.
