PURE and simple delight came to St Gabriel's RC High when former Hear'Say star Suzanne Shaw popped by.

Twenty-two-year-old Suzanne was back at her old school in Bury to see a performance of a Christmas Carol and sign autographs afterwards.

Suzanne, who shot to fame with the TV talent show Popstars three years ago, also found time to chat with pupils and her former teachers.

John Keating, head of drama, said: "The pupils thought it was wonderful and were very excited about her coming. They were chatting away to her and she was quite happy to answer their questions."
