Suzanne Shaw has revealed her engagement to boyfriend Sam Greenfield, in an exclusive interview with HELLO! magazine. The couple got engaged after a whirlwind 12-month romance – and the former Hear'Say star says she has finally got her happy ending after several years of turmoil which included a divorce, a broken engagement and the death of her father.
"He is everything I've ever wanted in a man," she told HELLO! magazine. "Strong, protective, sensible, intelligent, affectionate, good-looking – he ticks all the boxes. I now understand the term, 'My other half.'

"People say it all the time, but now I know what it means to feel part of a team moving in the same direction."
She says that, following a failed marriage to DJ Jason King and a broken engagement to Darren Day, she appreciates the fact that Sam isn't in show business. "He's like a breath of fresh air," Suzanne – due to star in About Miss Julie in London - said.
"He hasn't had the drama I've had but can still empathise. I am, at heart, a laid-back person; complications come to me. But I don't want the drama any more. I'll keep the drama to the stage."
