Steers suffers from Allergic rhinitis, Allergy to Dust mites, Allergy to White Wine and Allergy to cats, as well as also being lactose intolerant.[7]

Career

Whilst training at SLP College, Steers performed in the play Snoopy at the SLP College Studio Theatre, as well as That's Entertainment at the Bradford Alhambra Theatre, Caberet at The Met Hotel in Leeds and Hey Mr. Composer at the Grand Opera House York.[5] As a singer-songwriter, she released a single titled "Taking Back My Life" in 2019 as part of her upcoming album, which was originally scheduled to be released alongside her solo concert on 2 March 2020 at the Arts Theatre, although it has since been postponed until further notice due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[8][9] Steers was also a backing singer for Sheila Ferguson on BBC Radio 2's Wake Up to Wogan.[10] She is currently a client of Shepherd Management.[11] Steers currently appears in the West End production of Six at the Arts Theatre alongside principal cast colleagues Jarnéia Richard-Noel, Courtney Bowman, Natalie Paris, Alexia McIntosh and Sophie Isaacs. Steers was also due to feature in a Live Drive-In UK Tour of Six presented by Utilita Energy, in association with Live Nation. The performances were due to take place in compliance with the HM Government's COVID-19 social distancing measures at various venues across the UK. However, promoters Live Nation announced the cancellation of the tour due to fears over potential localised lockdowns in response to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.[12] Steers also launched 'Six Scents', a candle producing company in collaboration with business partner Maddison Firth in July 2020.[13]
