Suzanne Shaw joins her son with Darren Day for rare public pictures on day out

It's nice to see the family all together

| Updated:

We hardly ever see them out together in public as a family, but Suzanne Shaw and fiancé Sam Greenfield looked like everything was going, er, swimmingly at the National SEA LIFE Centre this weekend.

The couple were accompanied by Suzanne’s two sons, Corey, 12, from her relationship with actor and singer, Darren Day, and Rafferty, two, with businessman, Sam.

The Dancing On Ice champion smiled for pictures as the family looked around the attraction in Birmingham.

The National SEA LIFE Centre spokesperson, Chris Coventry said: “We were delighted to welcome Suzanne and her family.

It comes after an intense few months for the former singer, 36, who has just finished a lengthy run at the Hippodrome theatre, playing Cinderella in panto.

Suzanne posted an emotional farewell to the cast and crew on Instagram at the end of Jan, writing: “And we take our final bow!! Goodbye @brumhippodrome it’s been an absolute ball! Couldn’t have had a better experience if I tried.

“A pleasure to work with lovely talented people and to have found some friends for life.”

Suzanne shot to fame aged only 18 in 2000, alongside Kym Marsh and Myleene Klass on early talent show, Popstars.

After Hear’Say disbanded two years later, Suzanne went on to win the third series of Dancing on Ice in 2008.

And proving she’s a triple threat, she also had acting roles in Emmerdale and The Bill.

Suzanne made headlines for her relationship with singer Darren Day. They met on the set of musical Summer Holiday and had son Corey in 2004, before splitting in 2005.

Darren recently spoke fondly of his ex, saying while in the CBB house: “We were together for a year and a half. We got this beautiful boy and at the end of the day, it’s all been a happy ending.”

In 2009, Suzanne married television presenter Jason King, but things ended in 2012, before she met Sam. She and the businessman had their son, Rafferty and got engaged three years ago.

But being a busy mum in the limelight hasn’t always been easy. Suzanne recently spoke to Closer magazine about suffering with post-natal depression.

She said: “When I had Corey, I was 23 and a single mum, so after Raffi was born, I really thought I’d avoid it, because I had a stable family set up.

“[But] Raffi had so many allergies when he was born and struggled with feeding, and it took more than six months to get to the bottom of that. Things got so dark. Then one day Sam was off work and I just couldn’t get out of bed…I thought I’ve got two children, I can’t let this get the better of me.

“The doctor was amazing. He was so supportive and caring. I was hesitant to go on medication again as I know how it can be to stop taking it, but I had to keep reminding myself that I was just taking a painkiller for the mind.”
