EMMERDALE star Suzanne Shaw has revealed she no longer speaks to her family after being "cut out" of her dad's will. The actress, 43, claimed that her late cameraman father Vincent Crowshaw, who died in 2012 from a brain tumour, left everything to her stepmum. 4 4 4 Suzanne said it felt like a "slap in the face" and admitted her family became "divided" over her dad's inheritance, with her no longer speaking to some family members. The former Hearsay pop star also claimed that money was intended to be "split equally", but that never happened. Suzanne opened up about her family rift on Channel 5 's Vanessa on Monday. She said: "My dad passed away very sadly. A divided family as he had remarried. My brother got some inheritance but it was only his business he inherited and then my stepmum got all of it and it was meant to be split equally. "She's now remarried, everything has gone to her side of the family and I got nothing out of any of it. It's like a slap in the face. It's like you weren't valued. "I know what it feels like. It is hard. What it causes is divide. We no longer speak to those people who were a big part of our life and that's sad." TV presenter Carrie Grant, 59, told Suzanne that she had recently had a conversation with her husband David about splitting her own estate equally between their four kids: Olive, Tylan, Arlo and Nathan. Suzanne has previously opened up about the heartache of losing her father. Noughties pop star and former soap actress reveals she was 'too scared to leave the house' as she battled crippling depression She said: "What was hardest was witnessing his rapid deterioration. It was a very tough time for the family." In March 2012, Vincent was diagnosed with a grade four glioblastoma tumour and was told he only had 12 to 18 months left to live. Suzanne said: "The experts tell you how serious the situation is but you don't really believe them until you see it and I always thought that 'my dad's invincible, there will be a miracle around the corner. He'll be fine. They'll get rid of the tumour'." Just six months after his diagnosis, Vincent sadly passed away. She continued: "The change in him during those last few weeks was both mentally and physically shocking." "He ended up in a wheelchair in his final days and was having seizures. He was extremely confused, he didn't know what was going on around him and in the end his body just broke down.' "We were all by his side. It was really nice and we all did everything that he wanted to do. We watched his favourite TV shows and everything that he really loved.' "We played his favourite songs and we all sat there chatting and that's the way he would have wanted to go, with his close family around him. We all said goodbye to him and there was nothing left unsaid." 4

'It was like a slap in the face!' Hearsay singer Suzanne Shaw reveals agony of being cut out of her father's will as she claims her stepmother inherited everything
Hearsay singer Suzanne Shaw, 43, has revealed that she was left out of her father's will which she described as 'like a slap in the face'. Her cameraman father Vincent Crowshaw died in September 2012, and the pop star has claimed that her family became 'divided' in the aftermath of his death. The former Emmerdale actress confessed she no longer speaks to members of her family following the fallout over his inheritance and claims her stepmother pocketed the cash that he had intended to 'split equally'. Speaking on Channel 5's Vanessa, the singer opened up about the dramatic rows that followed her father's death from a brain tumour. Suzanne said: 'My dad passed away very sadly. A divided family as he had remarried. My brother got some inheritance but it was only his business he inherited and then my stepmum got all of it and it was meant to be split equally.' 'She's now remarried, everything has gone to her side of the family and I got nothing out of any of it. It's like a slap in the face. It's like you weren't valued. 'I know what it feels like. It is hard. What it causes is divide. We no longer speak to those people who were a big part of our life and that's sad.' She made the shock confession on Vanessa Feltz's Channel 5 show on Monday. TV presenter Carrie Grant, 59, told Suzanne that she had recently had a conversation with her husband about splitting her own estate equally between her children. She added: 'You're literally setting your children up for war aren't you?' Supernanny Jo Frost took to Instagram to give her views on the conversation between the pair. She said: ' a sad set of responses from both ladies, and might I add common, one feeling undervalued because of money and one afraid it will create divide.' 'Families you need to have conversations now and make decisions based on what is morally right and raise your children with no expectation of your wealth. None of us are entitled to another person's purse. Have the conversations.' Suzanne has previously spoke of the pain of his death, she said: 'What was hardest was witnessing his rapid deterioration. It was a very tough time for the family.' In March 2012, cameraman Vincent was diagnosed with a grade four glioblastoma tumour following blood tests and an MRI scan. Courses of radiotherapy and chemotherapy failed to shrink the growth and the family received the devastating news that Vincent's condition was terminal and he had between 12 and 18 months to live. Suzanne said: 'The experts tell you how serious the situation is but you don't really believe them until you see it and I always thought that, "My dad's invincible, there will be a miracle around the corner. He'll be fine. They'll get rid of the tumour".' In September 2012, and with his daughter and the rest of his immediate family at his bedside, Vincent died just six months after his diagnosis. 'The change in him during those last few weeks was both mentally and physically shocking,' actress Suzanne has said. 'He ended up in a wheelchair in his final days and was having seizures. He was extremely confused, he didn't know what was going on around him and in the end his body just broke down.' 'In the summer he got to the point where he realised he was going to die. He just said, "I'm going to live the rest of my life the way I want to live it," and that's exactly what he did.' 'We were all by his side. It was really nice and we all did everything that he wanted to do. We watched his favourite TV shows and everything that he really loved.' 'We played his favourite songs and we all sat there chatting and that's the way he would have wanted to go, with his close family around him. We all said goodbye to him and there was nothing left unsaid.' Her agony was made more difficult for Suzanne as it coincided with the breakdown of her three-year marriage to Radio 1 DJ Jason King. Suzanne said at the time it was only her son Corey, from her relationship with actor Darren Day, who kept her going. 'There were many days when everything felt too much and things got on top of me,' she said. 'That's part of grieving but I just coped by taking it one day at a time. It was a really tough part of my life but you look back and it makes you stronger.'
