FORMER pop star Suzanne Shaw joined her co-stars in a new musical and met some of her North-East fans yesterday.

The ex-Hear'Say member is appearing in the musical Summer Holiday, showing at the Newcastle Theatre Royal this week.

The 21-year-old plays the role of pop star Bobby, who attempts to shun the showbiz life by dressing up as a boy and stowing away on the Summer Holiday bus trip.

She visited Top Shop in Eldon Square, Newcastle, yesterday, to promote the show, and is pictured with co-star and former Hollyoaks heartthrob Stefan Booth.

The production runs until Saturday.
