Jez Good Friends?

We were told they were still good friends when they called it a day, but it seems the deal between Rachel Stevens and Jeremy Edwards is not as cosy as they’d have us believe.

The former S Club popster blanked Jeremy’s birthday party on Saturday night – even though it was just around the corner from her Hampstead home and he’d personally asked her to come.

Jez, who turned 34, invited chums from his Holby City days and other mates including Vernon Kaye, Dermot O’Leary and Gary Lucy, and had gone out of his way to ask Rachel along. Even her old S Club colleagues Hannah Spearritt and Paul Cattermole managed to show up to the bash at the Wellington pub in Belsize Park.

“He hoped she’d show and was disappointed when it became clear she wasn’t going to pop in,” said one party goer.

“It says something that two other S Clubbers made the effort while Rachel didn’t bother showing up at all.”

Rachel’s people confirmed she’d been asked but said: “She couldn’t make it because she had another party to go to.”

Jez must be thrilled to discover how far down her list he has fallen in such a short time.
