STEVEN Houghton might be remembered for his appearances in London’s Burning, Coronation Street, or for his pop career.
But these days, he has a very different job running a performing arts school.

Actor and singer Steven, 52, released his first single – Wind Beneath My Wings – in 1993, which shot to number three in the UK.
But his follow up track the next year, Truly, only made it to 23 – with his self-titled album peaking at 21 that year too.
Around this time, he was playing Gregg Blake in ITV drama London’s Burning, before taking up roles in The New Adventures of Robin Hood, Bugs, Holby City and Doctors.
More recently, Steven starred in Corrie as Jeff Cullen. But that was for only 34 episodes, and was all the way back in 2011.

Since quitting fame, though, he’s thrown himself into his work at the Footloose Stage School.

Steven also enjoys the odd night out in the West End, according to his Instagram profile.
It comes as no surprise as he did tour the country with The Sound Of Music, Grease, Miss Saigon and Annie Get Your Gun.
He once told On: Yorkshire Magazine, “From when I started I still think I can’t believe everything I have done.
“All the different jobs I’ve had, be it in theatre or TV or even a recording contract. When I was younger, all I wanted to be in was The Brian Rogers Connection.
“I’ve just done so much more than that, more than I ever thought I would. And if I never did anything else after this job, then it wouldn’t matter.”
Steven and his wife Jennifer are thought to share two children together, a son and a daughter.
