Assuming you are allowed to because it would fall under Part P of the building regulations...
You could fit a Henley block to the tails before they go into your consumer unit, then from the Henley block you would run new 25mm square tails to your new shower consumer unit. You will also need to make sure your supply will be able to handle the new load of the shower.
