Snoochie Shy is a TV and radio presenter whose popularity soared following her stint on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2021. Her easygoing attitude and hilarious sense of humour were a win with fans of the show, who heaped praised onto her for opening up about her insecurities regarding a facial birthmark.
And now Snoochie Shy has another claim to fame: she's actually the sister of Love Island 2023 star Zachariah Noble! Here's everything we know about the star...
Who is Snoochie Shy?
Snoochie is a 31-year-old DJ from Eltham, East London. Since 2018, she has presented her own show on BBC Radio 1Xtra and she also works for MTV.
In 2022, Snoochie hosted the BBC Three series Hire Me which saw her follow candidates as they applied for their dream job.
Snoochie has dipped her toe into modelling too, working for Nike, Adidas, Dr Martens, Ugg and Vans. She's also currently an ambassador for the clothing brand Hoodrich Women's and regularly shares snaps of her looks to her 190k Instagram followers.
Who Is Snoochie's brother Zachariah Noble?
Snoochie's half-brother Zachariah Noble is a star of this year's summer Love Island.
The 26-year-old PT and semi-professional basketball player - who is a shooting guard and most recently played for Worcester Wolves in British Basketball - entered the villa on night one as series 10's first bombshell.
After her sibling's TV debut, Snoochie took to Instagram to show her support, sharing a carousel of sweet siblings snaps, including some throwback shots.
Dancer and judge Oti Mabuse replied, 'Shut the front door! That is your brother holyyyyyyy molyyyyyyyyy girl… now we get it'.
'He defo learnt the ropes of coolness from big sis,' wrote podcast host Chidera Eggerue.
Snoochie has regularly been answering fans questions about her younger brother's stint on the show, even going so far as to explain why Zach is unlikely to tell his partner Molly Marsh that he loves her... Don't worry it's only because he's apparently intending for that moment to be more private so he likely will once they leave the villa.
What is Snoochie Shy’s real name?
One of the biggest questions around Snoochie is the origin of her stage name. Her real name is Cheyenne Davide, but the I’m A Celeb star decided to use her childhood nickname as her on-air moniker.
‘My nan used to call me Snoochie when I was younger and it was just a name that stuck with me, really, when I came to work,’ she told The Mirror.
‘But then when I went on Urban Dictionary I probably should have checked it before because it actually means you’ve left your carrot in the refrigerator. But obviously when my nan was saying it to me it sounded cute, so… yeah, channelling that carrot energy as well. And Shy, my real name is Cheyenne so it’s short for Cheyenne. But I am a little bit shy as well!’
Snoochie certainly doesn’t seem shy on I’m A Celeb, entertaining viewers and her fellow campmates with her stories and laidback personality.
How did Snoochie Shy become famous?
While Snoochie is a natural presenter, her career began with styling and modelling gigs with Adidas after her blog Yeahitsshy garnered traction at the mere age of 19.
Ten years later, she’s worked with a plethora of top brands and turned her beauty on-screen into on-air talent. Working for MTV UK, Snoochie has even interviewed a number of musicians including Ms Banks, Yxng Bane and Little Mix.
She was previously one of three hosts of the Slide In podcast by BBC Radio 1Xtra, alongside Love Island stars Kaz Crossley and Jordan Hames.
Aside from her reality TV venture and time on Celebrity Googlebox alongside Jeremy Vine - an unexpected pairing but they really make it work - she also starred in CelebAbility in 2019, The Rap Game UK in 2020 and in Big Shaq’s 2018 Man Don’t Dance music video (in which she married Big Shaq, later continuing the joke despite not actually dating at all… just an FYI).
She recently revealed that she's also filmed an episode of The Weakest Link but we've got a few months to wait before it hits our TV screens.
Is Snoochie Shy in a relationship?
When it comes to her dating life, Snoochie appears to be single – but we’ll wait for her own admissions about her dating life!
