5,6,7,8... teaching dance Steps

Pop star Lisa juggles life on stage with running school

- James Ingham

HER first pop hit sounded like something from a maths lesson – so it is fitting Lisa Scott-Lee is now headteacher a teacher.

We can reveal the Steps star, who hit the charts with 5, 6, 7, 8, now runs a performing arts school in Dubai and to the 600 pupils, she’s simply “Miss Lisa”.

Lisa, 45, took on the job after moving to the United Arab Emirates with her Hear’Say star husband Johnny Shentall, 42, and their two children.

The couple launched the Dubai Performing Arts Academy in 2014, which Lisa runs in between traveling the world to perform.

Lisa said: “Steps is my life. It has been my life for the last 24 years, but being principal of the school is my day job.
