Dancing On Ice - Suzanne Shaw talks money
Tuesday, 4 March 2008
Former Hear'Say singer Suzanne Shaw struggled to take control of her financies when she became famous.
Suzanne is currently taking part in Dancing on Ice and is tipped to be in the final. She was named Celebrity Mum Of The Year last week.
Her life is now centered around her son Corey and designer dresses have lost their appeal.
She has told The Sun about the money troubles she experienced while in the band Hear'Say: "I was very young when Hear'Say started and I didn't know what to do with all the money.
"I first realised what was happening when I asked someone if I could afford a laptop and camcorder with the money I had in the bank. They laughed and said, 'Course you can'. I thought, 'Hmm, I've got money'.
"At that point I'd never lived away from my parents, never had a wage packet and I didn't realise I had to save for tax. I didn't have the best advice â but I probably wasn't really paying attention anyway."
Suzanne wasted most of the money she made in the band: "I mainly spent it on clothes.
"I didn't have time for shopping properly so I'd run into a store, sweep up a load of clothes and take them home without trying them on. I ended up giving most of them away."
