Rachel’s New Flat
Rachel has bought a luxury flat in Hampstead, north London and has finally moved out of the house she shared with her mum and stepdad. She is said to be “over the moon” with her new place – but she’ll have to wait until later in the year to decorate it to her taste.
The 7 band members are all currently living in a secret house in Bristol to get used to being under each other’s feet 24-hours-a-day ahead of their UK tour. After the tour they will jet off to the US for some television and promotional work.
That means Rachel won’t be able to get her new pad just the way she wants it until September or October. A source close to the star said last night: “She moved in last week but because of the band’s busy schedule, she hasn’t had the chance to move all her stuff in. It’s a lovely place and Rachel is delighted with it. It was just what she was looking for.”
“The flat is the first place she can really call her own. She’s been keen to move out, so she is over the moon.” But don’t worry fellas, she’s NOT shacking up with her actor boyfriend Jeremy Edwards. It had been rumoured the couple were thinking of moving in together – but they reckon it’s far too early to take the plunge.
A spokesman insisted: “She will not be living with Jeremy. They are still together and very happy but it’s too early in their relationship to consider moving in with each other.”
