Star of Real Housewives of Cheshire Sheena has spoken about what her home and private life is like now after husband Shane Lynch quit showbiz. The former Boyzone star has decided to give up TV appearances and the showbiz life to focus on his businesses after the couple moved from the South to Cheshire.
Shane's most recent TV appearance saw him disappear early as he quit before the final episode of Pilgrimage: The Road Through Portugal.
Now, speaking to friend and skin care expert Scott McGlynn for his Instagram show Celebrity Skin Talk, Sheena confirmed that Shane has quit the entertainment industry.
She has spoken about how they now spend their days.
Sheena, who also gave a detailed account of her make-up and skin-care routines - and has spoken about joining Real Housewives.
She said: "We moved up from London up North to here, We were just moving in, and people said to me now that I live here you should join the housewives show, I was just laughing it off, but Shane said 'Babe I think you should do it'. Management set up meetings.
"I felt nervous in front of the camera. I'd never done things on my own, it's always been with Shane and the focus will be on me. I was scared to do it, but I promised myself if anything comes my way that scares me, I've got to do it."
Speaking about how she met Shane, and how he came to the decision to quit, Sheena said: "We did meet back in 2000 at a Party at the Park. I was there singing, Shane was partying after the gig.
"I was in the food tent and he just happened to be there backstage also, and we just started talking and we married in 2007."
Turning to the decision to quit, Sheena added: "He's made a really big decision, and the right decision for him, he's just not doing any more TV or singing.
"He just focused on business, so he's giving up all the celeb stuff. He spent so many years away from home. I just had a baby and three weeks after he had to go traveling for work, I didn't see him.
"It's just nice he can go out and come back he does most of the cooking."
Sheena said date nights now start at breakfast. She said: "We just love cinema at 11am as a date night. We drop the kids off and we take our breakfast to the cinema.
"It's the time to go to the cinema in the morning, no-ones there. The screen's to yourself."
In the three-part BBC Two series, Irish singer and former Boyzone member Lynch took part in a modern-day pilgrimage with six other celebrities with differing faiths and beliefs.
The show includes actress Rita Simons, reality TV star Vicky Pattison, maths teacher and TV personality Bobby Seagull and comedian Nabil Abdulrashid.
After reaching the end point ahead of a candlelit procession, Vicky Pattison received a voice note from Lynch explaining that he had left and was “heading home”.
He said: “This journey has been so incredible, I have loved every minute of it and thank you guys for being a part of that.
“I have come to the end of my journey and I am very complete and satisfied with what I have done.”
Lynch later explained he would feel like “an imposter” at the celebrations and his journey “ended at the destination Fatima and the square”.
Lynch, 46, previously said his departure from the BBC Two show was brought on because of his phobia of candles.
Speaking of his exit from the show, Lynch said: “…I have a candle phobia. One of the things is you would never get me into that place with 100,000 candles, that is like death to me.
“So rather than saying, ‘listen lads, I’ve got a candle phobia and that sounds ridiculous’, it was easier for me to accept my journey had come to an end and go ‘I got what I wanted from it’, rather than putting myself through a really bad experience at the end.”

He described his departure from the show as an “emotional time” because he did not get to say goodbye to the other celebrities who were on the journey with him.
Lynch also said he had realised on the trip that he had “had enough” of the entertainment industry, including “music and TV”, and joked that he has been “six months clean”.
The Pentecostal born-again Christian said he exited the show in “peace and harmony” which he described as “a beautiful way to do it”.
