Chart-topping singer, ‘Dancing On Ice’ winner, and star of stage and screen, Suzanne Shaw, has been announced as the second celebrity judge for Worksop’s Got Talent 2024.
Since her debut on Popstars 24 years ago, Suzanne has achieved a UK #1 album, two UK #1 singles, won Dancing On Ice in 2008, joined the cast of Emmerdale, and starred in various West End productions, including Chicago, Snow White, and Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
On joining Worksop’s Got Talent, Suzanne said: “I am so honoured and excited to be joining Worksop’s Got Talent as one of their 2024 judges! I started out on a talent show, so I know what amazing opportunities can come from taking part in one. I can’t wait to find Worksop’s next winner! See you in November!”
Suzanne will be joined on the celebrity judging panel by award-winning Coronation Street actor Jude Riordan, along with two other famous faces. Jude joined the cast of the UK’s biggest soap in 2020 and has since won a National Television Award for Best Newcomer and several other awards.
