Rachel Loves Being Papped

While most pop band stars who go it alone have nerves about braving the spotlight on their own, Rachel Stevens claims she’s loving the pressure. The girl reckons she even likes that bane of celebrity life – the paparazzi.

We were chatting to her in the flesh, but we didn’t get to actually check her temperature, so we can only presume she was feeling alright.

Although Rachel still bumps into old SClub bandmates Jo O’Meara and Jon Lee and has good memories of being in what she calls the “modern day Monkeys”, she’s glad it’s now all about her.

“Life is a lot more chilled than when I was in SClub,” confesses Rachel. “I think it was because we all had to go through hair and make-up and it was just such a palaver. I really am out there on my own, but all nerves are good for me.”

However, with a solo career comes an increased press interest in her personal life, but even that isn’t bothering the diddy diva. Talking of the snappers that are always on her tail she says: “They do follow you around but you end up making friends with them.

“You see the same faces jumping out of the bushes.”

What a refreshing angle. The singer also told us she would love a go at being the next Bond Girl – move over Ms Jolie.
