John George Shentall (born 3 September 1978) is a British pop singer. He was first a member of the pop group Boom! before joining another pop group, Hear'Say in 2002. He is married to Steps band member Lisa Scott-Lee.
Shentall first became a member of short-lived pop group Boom! in 2000. They scored one hit single with "Falling" in January 2001.[1] In early 2002, Shentall then joined another pop group, Hear'Say, after winning the auditions as a replacement for Kym Marsh who had left the group. Hear'Say disbanded later that year.
Shentall has worked extensively in musical theatre, including performing in 2006 as Chuck Cranston in Footloose at the Novello Theatre in London's West End, as well as Hip Hopper and understudy Greaseball in Starlight Express.[2]
He was one of the celebrities that took part in ITV2's CelebAir. His wife, Lisa Scott-Lee, also took part in the programme. They were both ‘sacked’ on 2 October 2008 in a double elimination, as they abandoned their duties as cabin crew to go clubbing in Ibiza, where they were at the time.
