Talk about a busy time. I had appeared on Strictly Come Dancing, where I’d finished second to Tom Chambers, before we all set off on the Strictly tour of 30 performances around the country. It was all so much fun – but terribly exhausting. I really needed a holiday and so did my fiance Alex Bourne, who had been through the whole Strictly experience with me.
A Caribbean cruise seemed like a perfect antidote to all the stress. Our trip started with a flight to Miami, where we spent the first night. I had stayed here for a time back in the days of S Club so it was great to return.

Handbag.com pays a visit to the very chic Rachel Stevens at the suitably ladylike Haymarket Hotel. Gone is the excitable popstrel of old and in her place is an impeccably turned out, beautifully groomed lady. We got down to the fun business of discussing the terribly important things in life such as what’s in her red carpet clutch, the benefits of having a hairdresser for a mum and how that may well have led to her being the new hair ambassador for GLISS hair care products…
So your mum’s a hairdresser – no wonder yours always looks so effortlessly fab, does she still cut it or have you sacked her now?
Well, no she doesn’t cut it anymore but she always used to say to me when I was little don’t cut your hair off, so she knew what would work for me and I have to say she was right. Now however I do have my hair coloured at the wonderful Percy & Reed.

The former S Club singer reveals the latest terrors that Abby and the Primeval team have the deal with…
What’s happening in this Saturday’s episode of Primeval?
“We’re faced with a herd of stampeding seven-ton rhino-type beasts! Then Danny turns up with the mysterious woman he saw in the future, Eve, and she says she has the power to save everyone from the herd. No-one knows who she is, and Abby keeps a close eye on her. There’s a big shock to come!”
Sounds like another really big action sequence!
“Yes, this series has been exhausting but brilliant fun. And Abby’s had a Mini Cooper S this time to drive very fast. She drove a Mini in the last series but she’s been upgraded to a Cooper S in this one. I was able to open her up on the track, although I burnt out the clutch so probably took it a bit too far…”

Rachel Stevens would like to bring out a fashionrange
Rachel Stevens has revealed she wants to become a fashion designer.
The former S Club 7 star is putting her music career on hold and would love to bring out her own clothing range.
Rachel said: “I have lots of things in planning at the moment, I want to get more involved in fashion – it’s something I’ve always been really passionate about.”
She added: I’d love to work with a designer and collaborate, or eventually design my own range.
“I don’t have plans to continue with music at the moment, but maybe in the future.”
The singer and actress was runner-up in the last series of Strictly Come dancing to ex-Holby City star Tom Chambers.
Rachel, who is the new ambassador for Schwarzkopf Gliss hair products, said: “I do really miss Strictly, it was an amazing experience. I don’t miss the pressure and the stress and the worry on the Friday night, thinking ‘Oh my god, do I know what I’m doing?’ but I miss the dancing.”
