Rachel Stevens Pictures, News, Gossip & Rumours - AskMen AskMen Messages You have no messages Notifications You have no notifications Rachel Stevens Rachel Stevens Stevens was an integral part of the success of British pop group S Club (formerly S Club 7) since their 1999 debut. Together, they notched chart-toppers like "Don't Stop Movin'," established a successful TV show and cultivated a large following of pre-teens all over the world. Though they are now broken up, the dream certainly isn't over -- Stevens is well positioned to tear up the charts once again, with an upcoming solo record set for release in September 2003. Appeal When Rachel Stevens first came onto the scene in '99, she immediately blew our socks off. Despite being on stage with six co-performers and dozens of dancers, she stood out beautifully -- it was love at first sight. Of course, with her goddess-like face and body, do you really blame us for falling so hard? Add to that the bronze skin of a Mediterranean woman and a pierced belly-button, and you'll understand why she is considered by many to be one of the sexiest women on the planet.

Success When Polydor Records put Hannah, Jo, Jon, Paul, Bradley, Tina and, of course, Rachel, together, success was inevitable. In 1999, the newly formed S Club 7 stood out from the plethora of other UK pop groups, thanks to their clever marketing and smooth sound. Their first two efforts, "Bring It All Back" and "S Club Party" debuted at No. 1 and 2 on the British charts, respectively. When all was said and done the seven -- and then six, after Paul left -- enjoyed several hits including "Two In A Million," "Never Had A Dream Come True" and "Don't Stop Movin'." They were stars on the small screen as well, with a show called S Club 7 in Miami (and later in L.A. and in Hollywood). Stevens was often the centerpiece, getting the most attention in the magazines -- she was voted the second sexiest lady on the planet by FHM in 2001 and 2002 -- as well as on the big screen, such as in the upcoming film Suzie Gold.

Following a UK tour in 2003 and a film, S Club Seeing Double, the remaining six members decided to break up. Left to her own devices, Stevens landed a role in the upcoming film, Suzie Gold, and signed a four-album, solo contract with Polydor. Her first record, Funky Dory, is set for release in September 2003. Possessing the widest appeal (both physically and musically) of all her S Club mates, there is no doubt that her name will be on top of the Billboard charts in the near future. Rachel Stevens Biography Mark April 9th down on your calendar, for this is the day you should observe a very important celebration: Rachel Lauren Stevens' birthday, of course. Born in 1978 in London, England, she showed a flair for entertaining even as a toddler. At 5 years old, she had already begun drama school, but gravitated toward fashion as the years wore on. An early highlight came at the age of 15, when she beat out 4999 competitors in a modeling competition sponsored by Just 17 magazine.

music all the way After attending the London School of Fashion and working in PR, Stevens changed her mind, and gravitated toward a career in music instead -- she had always displayed a real talent for singing. An audition for a new British pop band came up, and, after several cuts and callbacks, Stevens was selected as one of the seven members of the band, joining Bradley McIntosh, Hannah Spearritt, Paul Cattermole, Jon Lee, Jo O'Meara, and Tina Barrett. Called S Club 7 , the group and its managers at Polydor Records aimed to find a niche in the very convoluted UK pop market. They did this by marketing an array of both fast-paced tracks and ballads while simultaneously working on a TV deal. lucky 7 Fame was almost immediate for this group of talented twenty-somethings, as their first single "Bring It All Back" debuted at No. 1 on the UK charts in June of 1999. "S Club Party" followed up as their No. 2 hit in September, and their self-titled album sold like hotcakes on the strength of these hits. Their success spurned the debut of their popular TV series S Club 7 in Miami.

The winter ushered in the song "Two In A Million" and, of course, more success. Though at times restrained in the group's wholesome, teeny-bopper image, Stevens reveled in the spotlight and received most of the media attention as the band's hottest member. More flattering comments came after Interscope Records picked up the band's American distribution rights in 2000, and released the band's albums across the ocean. Always working on -- and writing -- new songs, 7 saw their fan base grow with two more hits in the spring: "Don't Stop Movin'" and "Never Had a Dream Come True." in da club Despite some trials and tribulations, including a controversy over a marijuana possession charge implicating the three male members of S Club, the band, and Stevens in particular, continued to soar. Another season of their show was filmed in 2000 and, the following year, readers of FHM voted Stevens the second sexiest woman on the planet, behind only the heavenly Jennifer Lopez . Other magazines, such as Arena, also concentrated on this beauty's natural assets around the same time.

The same accolades from FHM were laid upon Stevens the following year, but she seemed to be the only rising star among her peers at this point. S Club 7's output had deteriorated a little, though they could still hold claim to selling 13 million tracks and records overall. The show S Club in Hollywood did not have the same effect as its predecessor and things were lackluster. Paul Cattermole left the band, and for a while, the six remaining members stayed afloat as S Club, even filming a relatively successful movie together, called S Club Seeing Double, in 2003. flying solo After a UK tour in 2003, S Club decided to break up. Stevens alone managed to garner a lot of coverage thanks to an upcoming movie feature, Suzie Gold with Summer Phoenix, and the announcement of her engagement to boyfriend Jeremy Edwards (sorry fellas). Polydor jumped at the chance to harness this talent (and potential pop diva) and signed Stevens to just under a $1.6 million US contract, good for four albums.

The first effort, Funky Dory, will be released in September 2003 and many are convinced that a solo star is in the making. We sure hope so, since seeing her face in the music headlines every day would really help us get up in the morning...

Remember them? I can honestly say that growing up as a teenager, this group’s music and TV shows were a staple in my life. Their infectious pop tracks and “not-from-here” nature on their shows made them an instant hit in North America. With seven very different styles and personalities, the group became a 90’s and early millennium phenomenon. There albums S Club, 7 and Sunshine charted well and the group was becoming a household name. The group dynamic changed in 2002 when member Paul Cattermole decided to move on from the group and start working on an album with more rock roots.

The group was determined not to disband and dropped the ‘7’ to record new music as the name S Club. However, their album Seeing Double failed to impress in the charts and with critics making it known that S Club’s time at the top of the charts was over. Rachel Stevens found some solo success when she released her first album and found a hit in her first single Sweet Dreams My L.A. Ex. The entire album Funky Dory was pretty impressive but her second album Come and Get It failed to impress. So where is the group now? They recently reunited to come support member Jon Lee in his new role in Jersey Boys so lets find out what’s keeping these seven busy. TINA BARRETT In 2004, Tina joined forces with Natasha Bedingfield and Liz McClarnon to record a cover of Rod Stewart’s Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?. Afterwards, she expressed interest in attempting a solo career but nothing came from it. She kept a very low profile but in 2008 agreed to sign on with the Jo, Bradley and Paul to reunite and perform in pubs and clubs but it seemed to be a rumor as she never appeared with the group.

In 2009, Tina performed her first single ‘Fire’ and was stating that her album was almost ready for release, however, they hasn’t been any buzz since the summer of last year. PAUL CATTERMOLE Paul left S Club 7 in 2002 to return to his rock roots and reform his band Skua which he stated had a Limp Bizkit like feel. With a few concerts and a couple recording sessions, the band split once again. Paul joined another band as the lead singer and in 2005 performed with them in lots of clubs. However, they didn’t garner much attention and at the end of the year, Paul left that group. What I didn’t know is that Paul and Hannah used to date and called it quits in 2006 after dating since 2000. He and band mate Bradley began to DJ together and then later joined up with Jo to perform as S Club 3 at special events and clubs. JON LEE After S Club disbanded, Jon found himself busy in the musical theatre scene of London.

He began to star in Les Miserables and in 2005, joined the tour of Love Shack which featured great disco and dance hits and some other UK pop stars. He then went on to perform in Teen Scream and in 2010, began working on the musical Tomorrow Morning. In late 2010, Jon Lee discussed his sexuality with Gay Times magazine confirming what most of us had assumed all along. He was always out to family and friends but didn’t feel the need to let everyone know. Now, Jon stars in the hit musical Jersey Boys which is where the full cast was seen reunited last week. BRADLEY MCINTOSH When S Club split in 2003, Bradley dropped off the radar for quite a few years. In 2006, Bradley joined a few other popstars from disbanded groups in the MTV show Totally Boyband. They released only one single titled The One and it was a commercial disaster. Bradley began to DJ and later joined forces with band mate Paul to start playing and DJing clubs together where they sometimes revamped some old S Club classics.

Bradley also wrote a book titled Bradley’s Mcintosh which was about a girl named Polly who meets Bradley who gives her a magical coat which allows her to go anywhere in the world. Needless to say, it didn’t sell very many copies. Bradley performs with Jo and Paul as S Club 3 and has since released a few of his own tracks on YouTube. On May 2009, Bradley performed at an Oxford Charity Ball where he received rave reviews and an over four minute standing ovation. He is now a writer and producer for groups JLS and Sugababes. JO O’MEARA During the filming of S Club’s movie Seeing Double, Jo hurt her back really bad which forced her to leave the group for a short period of time before the group eventually disbanded. Being the more prominent vocalist, everyone was awaiting her solo comeback and in 2005, she signed a recording deal with Sanctuary Records. Her first single What Hurts The Most peaked at Number 13 on the UK Singles chart. She also appeared on reality show Celebrity Big Brother in 2007.

Jo was accused of racist remarks after her and two other female houseguests were filmed discussing British and Indian governments and other remarks regarding Indian actress Shilpa Shetty. Jo now performs with Paul and Bradley as S Club 3. RACHEL STEVENS Rachel probably had the most successful post-S Club solo career. Her debut album Funky Dory was well received with her first single Sweet Dreams My LA Ex becoming a huge hit in radio airplay and with clubs. Her second single Funky Dory failed to match the success of her debut. Critics said it was musically better than LA Ex, but lacked that special quality to make it a memorable single. Her follow up Some Girls was an instant hit in Europe and her best song to date. Rachel’s second album really showed off her vocal chops but didn’t chart very well at all. Rachel has since started working on an acting career and in 2008 appeared on Strictly Come Dancing. The received the most perfect 10’s ever achieved on the series. She finished the show in second place. Rachel was married in 2009 and has a baby girl named Amelie.

HANNAH SPEARRITT When S Club disbanded, Hannah didn’t really remain in the music industry. During her times in S Club, Hannah appeared as a pin-up in a lot of magazines and was in FHM’s Top 100 Sexiest Women list multiple times. In a recent interview this year however, she said that she would love to return to music soon. Hannah appeared in the film Agent Cody Bands 2 which she began filming almost immediately after S Club ended. She also had a minor role in Seed of Chucky and the roles didn’t stop there. She appeared in a few TV shows and in 2005, graced the stage in Snow! The Musical. Last year, Hannah made a cameo in the film Bubble Wrapped but still continues work on the TV show Primeval playing the role of Abby Maitland. Check out some of S Club 7’s videos below to relive those good old glory days.

The group rose to fame by starring in their own BBC television series, Miami 7, in 1999. Over the five years they were together, S Club 7 had four UK No.1 singles, one UK No.1 album, a string of hits throughout Europe, including a top-ten single in the United States, Asia, Latin America, and Africa. They recorded a total of four studio albums, released eleven singles and went on to sell over fourteen million albums worldwide. Their first album, S Club, had a strong 1990s pop sound, similar to many artists of their time. However, through the course of their career, their musical approach changed to a more dance and R&B sound which is heard mostly in their final album, Seeing Double.

S Club 7 won two BRIT Awards, one in 2000 for British breakthrough act and another in 2002, for best British single. In 2001, the group earned the Record of the Year award. Their song "Reach" was used in the arcade dance game EZ2Dancer in "EZ 2 Dancer UK Move". Group member Paul Cattermole departed the group in 2002, and the group changed its name from S Club 7 to simply S Club. Their second to last single reached number-five in the UK charts, and their final studio album failed to make the top ten. After Cattermole's departure, the group fought many rumours presuming that they were about to split. However, in April 2003, S Club announced that they were to disband. After a five year split, it was announced in October 2008 that O'Meara, Cattermole and McIntosh are to perform a mini-reunion tour. The tour currently consists of a series of university and nightclub gigs, where they perform a setlist consisting of a selection of songs from their Greatest Hits album.

S Club 7 released the theme music to their show as their debut single in June 1999. The up-tempo "Bring It All Back" reached number-one in the United Kingdom singles charts, and after selling more than 600,000 copies, was made BPI certified Platinum. The group enjoyed more success in the charts after their second single, " S Club Party ", entered the UK charts at number-two and went straight to number-one in New Zealand. Their third single was a double A-side and featured the ballad, co-written by Cathy Dennis, "Two in a Million" and retro-styled, up-tempo "You're My Number One". The group released their debut album S Club in October 1999. The album quickly rose to number-two in the UK charts, and then became certified Double Platinum. "Reach" was released as a single in May 2000 and reached number-two in the UK charts. The group's second album, 7, was released in June 2000. This album was a departure from the overtly pop stylings of S Club, with tracks styled more towards R&B than the traditional nineties pop sound of their debut album.

It reached number-one in the UK charts becoming certified Triple Platinum, and a certified Gold record in the US. The second single from the album, '"Natural", reached number-three in September 2000. The group also recorded vocals for "It's Only Rock 'N' Roll", which raised money for Children's Promise, an alliance of seven children's charities: Barnardo's, Children in Need, ChildLine, The Children's Society, Comic Relief, NCH and the NSPCC. A cover of the Rolling Stones song, the group contributed to the vocals alongside many popular artists, including Mary J. Blige, Natalie Imbruglia and the Spice Girls. In November 2000, S Club 7 were invited to provide the official song for the UK's BBC Children in Need Campaign 2000, the ballad "Never Had a Dream Come True", was recorded. After topping the UK charts in December 2000, the song was added to a re-release of the 7 album, along with another new track, a cover of Stevie Wonder's "Lately".

Their third studio album, Sunshine, contained what was to become one of S Club's most popular tracks, "Don't Stop Movin'". The song was released in April 2001, marked a high point for the group as the single went straight to number-one, went Platinum and became the seventh best selling single of 2001. The group won the Record of the Year award for the song, and in February 2002, the single won the group their second BRIT Award for best British single. S Club 7 were invited back and asked to record a second consecutive Children in Need single, "Have You Ever", in November 2001. The single became their fourth number-one as well as the 21st biggest selling single of 2001. After the success of their last three singles, all of which had made it to number-one, S Club 7 failed to top the charts when they released their ninth single, "You". Paul Cattermole left the band which led the way for a series of events that was to unravel S Club 7's time at the top of the charts, which would ultimately cause the band to split.

After Cattermole's departure, vowing to not disband, the remaining six members stayed together under the name S Club. After only peaking at number-five in the UK charts with their first single as a six and their fourth studio album, Seeing Double,failed to make an impact on the UK charts. In April 2003, S Club released their first feature film, Seeing Double, directed by music-video director Nigel Dick, which was to be the last time the group would be seen on-screen together. It was announced live on stage during their S Club United tour in April 2003 that S Club would soon part ways. The final single was a double A-side, coupling "Love Ain't Gonna Wait for You", from their fourth album Seeing Double, with a new ballad, "Say Goodbye". The single reached number-two in the UK, and was included on S Club's greatest hits album, Best: The Greatest Hits of S Club 7, released in June 2003. This compilation brought together the group's releases with a previously unreleased track, "Everybody Get Pumped" and 7 track "Bring the House Down". The album reached number-two in the United Kingdom.

From October 2008, the group started performing in pubs and clubs across Britain. In early 2010, the group decided to take their gigs further. They booked some venues in Egypt for April. In April 2010, S Club 3 were the headlining act at the Tottenham Carnival. In March 2011. all seven members reunited for the first time since 2002 to see Lee perform as Frankie Valli in Jersey Boys on stage. Music Videos Love Ain't Gonna Wait For You Natural h2g2 - S Club 7 - the Pop Group - Edited Entry 2 Conversations S Club 7 were a British manufactured pop group, popular between 1999 and 2003. Marketed as a modern Monkees , they were created in 1999 by their manager Simon Fuller, who had previously managed the hit girl group The Spice Girls , intended to be equally television stars as well as a pop group, although it was as singers that they are best remembered. Just like when The Monkees were formed, the band members were among thousands of young people who auditioned for the role.

Simon Fuller would later re-use his experience gained in auditioning candidates for S Club 7 to create the Pop Idol television series in 2001 and a spin-off group, S Club Juniors. In the five years they were together, S Club appeared in four television series, several feature length dramas and a film. They also had four Number One singles in the UK, and one Number One album before splitting up in 2003. The Band As the name suggests, S Club 7 originally had seven members. The seven were: Tina Barrett Hannah Spearitt Rachel Stevens The band were renamed 'S Club' after Paul Cattermole left the band in early 2002, leaving the previous name painfully inaccurate. Television Series Before releasing any records, the group shot to fame after appearing together as the main characters in a BBC children's television sitcom in 1999, entitled Miami 7. The seven members essentially played themselves, and ended each episode with one of their own songs. The programme told the story of a band living in Miami trying to become famous, but was entirely fictional. The band also starred in other television specials throughout 1999 in a concerted bid to gain fame and success.

These included Back to the '50s, in which S Club 7 ended up travelling back in time to that decade, Boyfriends & Birthdays, in which the character of Rachel considered leaving the group, and a guest appearance in The Greatest Store in the World, in which they turned up to sing. In the latter three series of the group's television show the programme changed its name as the setting changed. This created surprising and innovative titles such as LA 7 for the series set in Los Angeles in 2000, and Hollywood 7 for 2001's series. The fourth and final series, aired in 2002, was the only one not filmed in the USA . This was called Viva S Club and was set in Barcelona, Spain . They even starred in a feature-length film, Seeing Double, in 2003. The plot revolved around the six remaining band members being cloned. Discography Their debut single, Bring It All Back, was released to coincide with the group's first television series in June 1999. This single was followed by S Club Party, produced by Stargate and released in October the same year.

It reached an admirable position of number 2 in the UK singles chart. The band would release a total of five albums, including the greatest hits collection, entitled Best - The Greatest Hits, in addition to 11 singles. S Club The first album was simply named S Club, but did feature all seven members of the band. Containing 11 songs, it became Double Platinum 1 and reached a peak chart position of number two after its release on 4 October, 1999. The songs on the album that were also singles were: 'Bring It All Back' – The group's first record release and their first single, this was a UK Number 1 2 . 'S Club Party' – The second single, released in September 1999, and a UK Number 2 hit. 'You're My Number One' – In fact, a Number 2. This was released as a Double-A-Side with 'Two In A Million', another song on the album, in December 1999. 7 Originally released 12 June, 2000 in the UK, the album was later re-released on 4 December, 2000.

This album topped the UK's Album Chart and went triple-platinum. It also supplied three singles. Originally released with ten songs, later releases featured five additional songs not on the first version including 'Never Had A Dream Come True'. The singles from this album were: 'Reach' – Perhaps their most infamous single, this number 2 hit had been released as a single on 22 May 2000. 'Natural' – A UK Number 3, this song was released in September 2000. Sunshine With a peak chart position in the UK of number three, this 15-song album from 2001 had three singles. This was the last album to contain all seven band members. Singles: 'Never Had a Dream Come True' – The BBC's official Children In Need Single and consequently a UK Number 1 on its release in November 2000. Released on the extended version of the 7 album, its popularity also led to it being re-released on Sunshine.

'Don't Stop Movin'' – Loved by young and old alike, the biggest hit with the critics, this single was released on St George's Day 23 April, 2001 and was their third Number 1 single 3 . 'Don't Stop Movin'' was later covered by The Beautiful South . The album contained two versions, including the Jewels & Stone Radio Mix 'Have You Ever' – After their success in 2000, the BBC asked S Club 7 again to supply the official Children In Need Single in 2001, and so this was a UK Number 1 on its release in December 2001. 'You' – released in February 2002, this song was a Number 2 hit. Seeing Double The band's last album of new material, released in 2002, named to coincide with their film title. It was also the only album of new material released by 'S Club' rather than 'S Club 7'. It also had 14 songs on its initial release, 16 on later extended versions.

Marking the decline of both their popularity and that of manufactured popgroups, it reached a peak of only 17 in the UK Album Chart. Two singles were released from this album. 'Alive' – the first single released without Paul Cattermole and under the S Club name. Released in November 2002, it reached Number 5. Another version of this song, entitled 'Alive (Almighty Mix)' was a bonus track on the re-released version of this album. 'Love Ain't Gonna Wait for You' – a Double-A-Side with the non-album song 'Say Goodbye', this was released after the band had announced that after a final single they would split. This final single, released in May 2003, peaked the UK singles Chart at number two. BEST - The Greatest Hits of S Club A year after their final album and after they announced their split, a greatest hits album was released. In a heart-warming display of the nation's fondness for one of the most successful popgroups of the early noughties, the best-of reached an impressive number two in the UK Album Chart.

It contained their singles in chronological order of their initial release as well as the first album-release of 'Say Goodbye' and two bonus songs. S Club Juniors Also known as S Club 8, the S Club Juniors were a spin-off band created in 2001 to be a support act for S Club 7. The members of the group were auditioned in television series S Club Search by S Club 7 and had some success, releasing five top-ten singles, two other singles and three albums and appearing in a television series before splitting up in 2005. Since The Split Since the break up, the members of the band have had varying degrees of success in forging solo roles for themselves: Tina Barrett – Tina released a cover of Rod Stewart's 'Do Ya Think I'm Sexy' in 2004 as part of The Girls Of FHM, which reached number 10. Paul Cattermole – the first to leave S Club 7, he continues to pursue a singing career and has performed with Bradley McIntosh and Jo O'Meara as 'S Club 3'. Jon Lee – Jon is continuing his acting career and has had various small roles and voice-over work.

Bradley McIntosh – Bradley appeared in an MTV television show called Totally Boyband starring male members of disbanded groups. The boy band created, Upper Street released a single in 2006 which only reached number 35. He has performed with Paul Cattermole and Jo O'Meara as 'S Club 3'. Jo O'Meara – Jo sadly suffered from a back injury that affected her career and prevented her from doing dance routines. Her debut single 'What Hurts The Most' reached number 13 in 2006 and her first album Relentless only reached 48. In 2007 she appeared on Celebrity Big Brother 4 , in which Jade Goody and Danielle Lloyd took part in apparently racist bullying behaviour towards Shilpa Shetty. Jo was present at many of the incidents and did nothing to prevent the bullying, despite Shilpa appealing to her for help. Jo did mock Shilpa's accent on more than one occasion, but has denied racism.

In 2008 at a performance with Paul Cattermole and Bradley McIntosh as 'S Club 3' in Bradford she suffered a head injury when hit with a glass bottle thrown as a retaliation against her alleged racist behaviour. She has since concentrated on her family. Hannah Spearitt – Hannah has pursued a successful acting career, starring in Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London immediately after S Club split. Between 2007-2011 she has had a lead role in science-fiction series Primeval , playing pants-wearing dinosaur -kicking Abby Maitland. Rachel Stevens – The most successful singing former club member, Rachel Stevens has released several singles, including number 2 hits 'Sweet Dreams My LA Ex' and 'Some Girls', number 3 'More More More' and top ten hits 'Negotiate With Love' and 'So Good', from albums Funky Dory and Come And Get It. In 2008 Rachel Stevens came second in television dance competition Strictly Come Dancing. In late 2011 and early 2012, rumours that the band will one day reunite and return to the charts began to circulate.

Yet it was not until 2014 that S Club 7 reunited. This took place in front of a live television audience on 14 November, 2014 as part of Children in Need, performing a medley of their greatest hits. They were introduced to the programme by Sir Terry Wogan and former S Club Junior, Rochelle Humes. Despite being intended to be a manufactured band aimed at children, S Club 7 have transcended their routes to become affectionately remembered. 1 In Britain, a Gold Album has sold 100,000 copies or more, a Platinum has sold 300,000 copies or more, Double-Platinum 600,000 and Triple-Platinum 900,000. 2 This song's catchy, light tune and lyrics led to comparisons between it and the Milky Bar Kid jingle. 3 'Don't Stop Movin'' reached Number 1 twice, before and after Geri Halliwell's interpretation of 'It's Raining Men'.

The former S Club 7 star has performed a number of well-known nursery rhymes with a food twist to help youngsters to get into healthy eating habits. The songs are available as free downloads from children’s food firm Ella’s Kitchen followi...ng research which showed that engaging with fruit and vegetables outside meal-times encouraged them to eat. The firm worked with the University of Reading and found that looking at food, touching it, smelling it and hearing songs or stories about foodstuff all had an impact on consumption. Rachel – whose chart hits have included Reach, Don’t Stop Moving and Sweet Dreams My LA Ex – has recorded five “tasty tunes”, including revamps of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star and The Hokey-Cokey. The mother-of-one said: “As a new mum, I’m always looking for exciting ways to encourage my daughter to try new foods, especially greens.

“I hope tasty tunes help lots of parents sing about fruit and vegetables as part of their little one’s everyday playtime.” She launched the songs with a one-off gig at a nursery in Streatham, south London. Rachel and Amelie out for lunch It may not look dignified, but it’s a pose every mother and father will be familiar with. And while it’s a tiring feat running around after your offspring every second of the day, maybe a trip to the toilet was worth the extra effort for Rachel Stevens. The former S Club 7 singer was enjoying a spot of lunch, when she took a whiff of her daughter’s b...ottom to see if her nappy needed changing. The 33-year-old raised little Amelie in the air at the Hampstead eaterie and had a sniff to see if she had done the deed. While endearing and touching, to a degree, it was enough to put her friends off their food as she dined with other mummies at the lunch table. Rachel, who gave birth just before Christmas, also seemed to have had a wardrobe overhaul by opting for something a little more ‘mumsy’.

The Strictly Come Dancing contestant stepped out in short beige trousers that were more Primark than Prada, and a white T-shirt and blue cardigan. The girls had clearly indulged in some shopping earlier in the day, with a large Gap bag hanging on the back of the buggy. The brunette, who was once engaged to Hollyoaks actor Jeremy Edwards, welcomed her first child into the world on November 16. She married husband Alex Bourne in August 2009, after postponing their wedding by almost a year due to her reality TV show commitments.

S Club 7 tipped to reunite and score No 1 hit S Club 7 have been tipped by bookies to follow in Take That’s footsteps by reforming and bagging a number one hit song this year.

The original line-up of the band, which broke up in 2003, were pictured just days ago together for the first time in years and now bookies have already slashed the odds of the group reuniting. Ladbrokes are now offering ...odds of 5/4 of the band reforming for a live tour with all seven original members this year. There are also 6/1 odds – down from 66/1 – that they will bag a number one single and 10/1 – down from 100/1 – that they will score a chart-topping album. Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes said: “New pictures have whipped S Club fans into a betting frenzy and the odds suggest the comeback might be on the cards.” Strictly Come Dancing star Rachel Stevens and Primeval’s Hannah Spearritt met up with Tina Barrett, Bradley McIntosh, Paul Cattermole and Jo O’Meara to watch Jon Lee’s debut performance as Frankie Valli, the starring role in hit West End musical Jersey Boys this week. It was the first time the entire group had been reunited in eight years.

S Club 7 reunion at Jersey Boys press night They were the squeaky clean, seemingly perpetual, youngsters at the height of their fame – but S Club Seven showed that time waits for no man – or manufactured pop act – last night.The band caught up with each other for the first time since their 2003 split to celebrate former member Jon Lee taking over the starring role of Frankie Valli in the... smash hit West End musical Jersey Boys.For the first time in eight years, all seven originals reunited to try their best popstar poses again - but it was new mother Rachel, 32, who dazzled in a sparkly sequin dinner jacket and satin heels. However, the attention was almost stolen from her by Paul Cattermole, 34, as the former teeny boppers lined up. He certainly showed he was more of a man nowadays when he got back together with his former bandmates after watching Jon perform onstage at the Prince Edward theatre. Paul – who before S Club had various jobs including postman, butcher, theatre doorman, dustman and toilet cleaner – was actually first to leave the band when he quit in 2002 to join heavy metal band Skua.

However, they failed to have much attention and in 2008, Paul together with bandmates Jo O’Meara, 31, of Celebrity Big Brother racism row notoriety and Bradley McIntosh, 29, got back together as S Club 3. Paul also dated fellow bandmate Hannah for six years, but they split in 2006. She is now engaged to her boyfriend of four years and Primeval co-star Andrew-Lee Potts. Most recently, they played a sell-out gig at the University Of Hull on 18 March, a concert hailed by local media as ‘the comeback of the century’ and ‘the best thing to happen to Hull since John Prescott starred in the Moneysupermarket.com adverts’. Hannah Spearritt, 29, meanwhile has been busy bothering dinosaurs on ITV1′s Primeval since the split, while Tina Barrett, 34, is apparently trying to launch her solo career.

Rachel meanwhile, who had a successful solo career after the group disbanded, came second on Strictly Come Dancing in 2008, won rear of the year in 2009 and gave birth to her and businessman husband Alex Bourne’s first child Amelie in November last year. S Club Seven – masterminded by Spice Girls svengali and Simon Cowell’s rival Simon Fuller – had a clutch of Number Ones throughout the UK and Europe – including classics Don’t Stop Movin’ and Never Had A Dream Come True. They recorded a total of four studio albums, released 11 singles and went on to sell more than 17 million albums worldwide. Jon began his West End odyssey in Jersey Boys on March 15. He’ll be alternating with Ryan Molloy who enters his fourth year in the multi award-winning show. Jon has a long history with the stage, and played the title role in Oliver! at the London Palladium when he was 13. Recently, he has starred in musicals including Les Miserables.

I’m sure Best Actress will be Natalie Portman. She was so incredible. It was a very dark, massive role to take on. “I think Black Swan and The King’s Speech are going to be the leaders, but there’s just so many amazing movies. “I’ve absolutely fallen in love with Colin Firth – I just wanna give him a big squeeze – and Geoffrey Rush as well.
