LISA Scott-Lee performed in packed-out stadiums with Steps in the nineties, but she's now turned her hand to teaching.<\/p>\n
The singer and her husband Johnny Shentall-Lee run a stage school in Dubai after quitting the UK.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They moved to the country in 2011, before launching the Dubai Performing Arts Academy together three years later.<\/p>\n
The school educates around 600 pupils ages between three and 18 and includes a 500-seat theatre.<\/p>\n
Lisa, who has two children with Johnny, is the school's founder and principal.<\/p>\n
Johnny, who was in Hear'Say after he replaced Kym Marsh, is the creative director and choreographer. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Despite being very busy, Lisa has still found time to join her band-mates for performances after they reformed for a second time in 2017.<\/p>\n
While Lisa describes Steps as "her life", she says being a headteacher is her "day job" and struggles to switch off from teaching.<\/p>\n
There is crossover, too, as she will often be working on her laptop while rehearsing with the band.<\/p>\n
Lisa works six days a week at the school focusing on its day-to-day running, while her husband is the creative director and main teacher.<\/p>\n

When a bartender told her she'd need to move round to the other bit to get served, she replied \u2018…but I'm Lisa Scott-Lee?\u2019\u201d writes Popb****.<\/p>\n Continuing: \u201cThe singer looked baffled when the young staff member didn't recognise her and was forced to queue with the masses for her prosecco.\u201d<\/p>\n And Lisa has since responded with a playful\u00a0snap\u00a0of herself sat at the bar looking less than impressed.<\/p>\n She shoots a glance at the bartender in her photo, who can be seen holding up a sign that reads: \u201cNo service on this side of the bar thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n Lisa penned as her caption: \u201cThis was my \u2018end of the night\u2019 photo after @brightonprideofficial after party at @legendsbrighton No service\u2019!!<\/p>\n \u201cThis person meant business, and held this sign with pride, and a brilliant expression. Respect.\u201d<\/p>\n Fans were loving Lisa\u2019s response, as one wrote: \u201cHa Ha Loving this Darling No one refuses our Lisa,\u201d and someone else penned: \u201cbut you're Lisa Scott-Lee.\u201d<\/p>\n Steps has sold more than 20 million albums worldwide since they formed in May 1997.<\/p>\n The band released its sixth studio album, What The Future Holds, in November 2020.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In July, the band said that they were "taking a break" to focus on thier solo careers. <\/p>\n Claire Richard insisted she and her bandmates –\u00a0Ian \u201cH\u201d Watkins,\u00a0Lisa Scott-Lee,\u00a0Lee Latchford Evans\u00a0and\u00a0Faye Tozer\u00a0– are not disbanding forever.<\/p>\nSophie Turner downs shots on wild night out just days before announcing divorce<\/h3>\n
