Bardot’s the way to go, Rach

Was former Holby City star Jeremy Edwards dropping a hint when he bought girlfriend Rachel Stevens’ Christmas present?

Jeremy splashed out £650 on a painting of Brigitte Bardot who was a massive influence on Kylie in 2003. Ms Minogue pinched Bardot’s look for a steamy photo session which helped push her album, Body Language, up the charts.

So was Jeremy suggesting ways that gorgeous Rach could boost her sales? After all, her first solo single – Sweet Dreams My LA Ex – failed to hit the top spot despite a sexy poster campaign and her debut album, Funky Dory, has all but disappeared from the charts.

The picture may also be a way of stressing the strength of their relationship, which hit the rocks in July but was fine by September.

The couple spent Christmas with Rachel’s parents in London and we can reveal that she almost missed out on her prezzie – like a typical bloke, Jeremy waited until the last minute before dashing to Selfridges’ gallery.

Somehow, we suspect Rach would have preferred something a bit more useful… like diamonds.
