Career

[edit]

Shentall first became a member of short-lived pop group Boom! in 2000. They scored one hit single with "Falling" in January 2001.[1] In early 2002, Shentall then joined another pop group, Hear'Say, after winning the auditions as a replacement for Kym Marsh who had left the group. Hear'Say disbanded later that year.

Musicals

[edit]

Shentall has worked extensively in musical theatre, including performing in 2006 as Chuck Cranston in Footloose at the Novello Theatre in London's West End[2], as well as Hip Hopper and understudy Greaseball in Starlight Express[3].

Television

[edit]

He was one of the celebrities that took part in ITV2's CelebAir.[4] His wife, Lisa Scott-Lee, also took part in the programme. They were both ‘sacked’ on 2 October 2008 in a double elimination, as they abandoned their duties as cabin crew to go clubbing in Ibiza, where they were at the time.
