Personal life In May 1996 she was presented with the Rear of the Year title. She had a series of high-profile romances including one with Alex Moscovich and also an engagement to Darren Day, which led to an array of media stories of cocaine use.

She married Robert Ashworth in June 2001, but a series of early problems occurred including a row on a return flight from the Caribbean after she had been filming ITV's Wish You Were Here...?. In 2015 Ashworth blamed phone hacking for ruining his career and marriage.

In 2003, her father Karl Shaw was featured in an article in the News of the World, and said that Shaw survived on "three bottles of wine and a packet of crisps a day". He also said that if "she carries on this way it will kill her". She made moves to turn her life around including spending two months in rehab in America and leaving her husband.

The couple currently live in Caversham Heights, Berkshire and have two sons Louis (born February 2005) and Luca (born September 2006)
