The 43-year-old actress and vocalist stated that Irene had then remarried, implying she entirely lost out on any inheritance. She stated this felt 'like a slap in the face' - and that it had triggered such a deep rift she no longer speaks with that side of the household.
But today Irene Marshall - who is now wed for a 5th time - responded: 'I'm stunned and hurt she would bring this up on TV ... it's just not real.'
Ms Marshall, 68, was wed to Ms Shaw's dad Vincent Crowshaw for 10 years before his death from a brain tumour in 2012.

She said: 'I was with Vinny for 15 years and when we purchased a house together I offered mine and featured ₤ 50,000. We had a ₤ 100,000 mortgage and when he died we still owed ₤ 62,000.
'We also had credit cards to pay and he had scheduled a holiday for all the household to go to Disneyland Paris - but regrettably passed away before we was because of go.
'I asked the family if they still wanted to go and they did so we went as a large family, which totalled ₤ 12,000.
'We 'd had a will drawn up around 2005. It was what is called 'a mirrored will' - so that if I died whatever went to him, and if he passed away whatever went to me ... and if we both passed away together it got shared in between my two kids and his two children, including Suzanne.
'The company went to Suzanne's brother, Paul. There was a six-year age difference in between us - Vinny was 62 when he passed away and I was 56.
'I do not understand why Suzanne has said what she has said on TV 13 years on. She might have contested the will but didn't and we stayed in contact.'
Irene and Vincent resided in Bury in Greater Manchester, but she has actually now moved to Cyprus after weding her 5th spouse Thomas Marshall 5 years ago.
She included: 'Vinny established his organization before meeting me however after about 3 years together we both ended up being directors and I provided my task up and worked with him till he passed away.
'I want individuals to know I had not just a funeral service to pay for and financial obligations to cover however I didn't work, as Vinny was the cameraman.'

Suzanne made her shock claims during an interview on Channel 5's Vanessa on Monday.
She informed the host: 'My father passed away really sadly. A divided family as he had actually remarried. My bro got some inheritance however it was only his business he inherited and after that my stepmum got all of it and it was implied to be divided equally.
'She's now remarried, everything has gone to her side of the household and I got absolutely nothing out of any of it. It resembles a slap in the face. It's like you weren't valued.

'Families you require to have conversations now and make choices based on what is ethically right and raise your children without any expectation of your wealth. None of us are entitled to another person's handbag. Have the discussions.'
Suzanne has actually previously spoken of the pain of her daddy's death, stating: 'What was hardest was seeing his rapid deterioration. It was a very tough time for the household.'
In March 2012, Vincent was diagnosed with a grade four glioblastoma tumour following blood tests and an MRI scan. Courses of radiotherapy and chemotherapy stopped working to diminish the growth and the household got the disastrous news that Vincent's condition was terminal and he had in between 12 and 18 months to live.
Suzanne included: 'The specialists tell you how serious the circumstance is however you don't really believe them up until you see it and I always believed that, "My dad's invincible, there will be a miracle around the corner. He'll be fine. They'll get rid of the tumour'"'
