S Club’s Rachel Stevens shows off age-defying figure as she poses in crop top on tour
RACHEL Stevens showed off her impressive figure in a cute crop top and high-waisted jeans.
The S Club star showed off her freshly styled hair in the mirror as she got glammed up for the band’s tour.
Rachel, 45, gave fans a sneak peek from behind the scenes as she sat in hair and makeup.
In one of the photos, she framed her eyes with winged eyeliner and smokey eyeshadow.
She had hair extensions added to give extra volume to her honey locks.
In another, she poses with her makeup and hair stylists – who both flashed a peace sign.
“Spreading love and sparkle,” she wrote in the caption, tagging her stylists.
“Sooooo pretty!” one fan wrote, while another added: “So incredibly beautiful as always lovely one I hope you have the best time!! xx”
Rachel and the rest of S Club – Jo O’Meara, Tina Barrett, Bradley McIntosh and Jon Lee embarked on a 15-date run of shows for their Good Times reunion tour.
They paid tribute to bandmate Paul Cattermole who died suddenly in April.
They are raising money for the British Heart Foundation at the shows.
S Club honoured Paul with a video montage of him singing the track Good Times.
Bradley, who was overcome with emotion, said on stage: “That’s our brother right there, man. Gone but you’ll never be forgotten. We miss you every single day.”
Paul’s former girlfriend Hannah Spearritt quit the reunion weeks after his death, but she was not mentioned by any of the group during the performance.
Speaking after the show, Rachel said of Paul: “It hits you at moments you’re not expecting. Because it’s the first night, we didn’t even know what to feel.”
Tina added: “We’ve been through such an emotional journey.
“It feels like so much more than a concert. It’s like, we’ve overcome a mountain.”
Rachel split from her husband Alex Bourne in July 2022 after 12 years together.
They have two daughters: Amelie, 12 and Minnie, eight.
She then went on to date her Dancing on Ice Partner Brendyn Hatfield months after her marriage ended.
A source told The Sun on Sunday in April this year: “Rachel had a really great friendship and partnership with Brendyn and it keeps developing.
“They’re really smitten and looking forward to the future.
“She wasn’t expecting to find love again at this stage in her life but she’s feeling positive about what’s to come and hopeful about a new start.
“She is taking each day as it comes and focusing on upcoming career projects.”
They aren’t on each other’s Instagram grids, which may indicate that they want to keep their relationship private or that it’s fizzled out.
