Steps star Lisa Scott-Lee hits back after she’s accused of using fame to skip bar queue
STEPS star Lisa Scott-Lee has hit back after being accused of using her fame to skip a bar queue.
Lisa is a 47-year-old Welsh singer-songwriter best known for being in 90s band Steps, and she was recently spotted partying in Brighton's Legends bar after headlining the city's Pride concert.
And while there it was reported that, despite the singer’s career in such an iconic band, not everyone knew her name.
“At the bar, she tried to order a drink from an area that wasn't in service. When a bartender told her she'd need to move round to the other bit to get served, she replied ‘...but I'm Lisa Scott-Lee?’” writes Popb****.
Continuing: “The singer looked baffled when the young staff member didn't recognise her and was forced to queue with the masses for her prosecco.”
And Lisa has since responded with a playful snap of herself sat at the bar looking less than impressed.

She shoots a glance at the bartender in her photo, who can be seen holding up a sign that reads: “No service on this side of the bar thank you.”
Lisa penned as her caption: “This was my ‘end of the night’ photo after @brightonprideofficial after party at @legendsbrighton No service’!!
“This person meant business, and held this sign with pride, and a brilliant expression. Respect.”
Fans were loving Lisa’s response, as one wrote: “Ha Ha Loving this Darling No one refuses our Lisa,” and someone else penned: “but you're Lisa Scott-Lee.”

A third wrote: “This is so iconic, I absolutely love it,” and a fourth added: “You should have been allowed to nip round and get your own!”
A far cry from her singing days, Lisa now works as a headteacher in Dubai after moving to the Middle East with her family.
Lisa lives in the UAE with her husband Johnny Shentall and their two children Jaden and Star Lily.
They moved to the country in 2011, before launching the Dubai Performing Arts Academy together three years later.
The school educates around 600 pupils ages between three and 18 and includes a 500-seat theatre.
But she has still found time to join her band-mates for performances after they reformed for a second time in 2017.
While Lisa describes Steps as "her life", she says being a headteacher is her "day job.”
