Hannah’s birthday off to an early start

Former S Club 7 star Hannah Spearritt caused a stir this weekend when she and a group of girlfriends arrived at Grafton Street haunt Lillie’s Bordello for a night on the tiles to celebrate her upcoming birthday.

The Diary caught up with the singer-turned-actress on Saturday night as she let her hair down at the celebrity hotspot after a day’s shopping in the city centre, explaining that it was the perfect spot to mark her birthday, which falls next Thursday.

Hannah (28) is no stranger to the venue, with her and former S Club bandmate Rachel Stevens memorably taking to the stage in the past to treat revellers to an impromptu set of the group’s songs.

The bubbly blonde, who is engaged to her Primeval co-star Andrew Lee Potts, was adamant, however, that she would not be taking to stage to sing this time, insisting that they were there for a quiet celebration and nothing more.

Rachel Stevens the music box ballerina

Rachel Stevens has put on her dancing shoes once again.

Rachel Stevens looked every bit the ballerina in a luxurious golden tutu-esque dress.

The former Strictly Come Dancing star posed elegantly in her ballerina inspired outfit and appeared to enjoy her new role.

But sadly Rachel won’t be wowing us with her moves once again.

The singer was dressed up as a music box ballerina for the launch of Cadbury Flake’s ‘million lipsticks’ promotion.

At the event Rachel again confirmed that she’s planning a return to music. Rumours say she is going to be working with Xenomania and signed to Fascination Records. Rachel’s only comment to this: “It’s early days”.
