Early life
Born in Southgate, London, United Kingdom to a Jewish family, she attended Ashmole School in London.[1] Stevens has two brothers, Jason and Leigh.
In 1993 she first caught attention while beating out 5000 competitors and winning a modeling contest sponsored by UK teen magazine Just 17.[citation needed] Following her first modelling jobs, she decided to study at the London College of Fashion, where she achieved a diploma in business. During that time she also worked in a film company and later ended up working in public relations, but began to lose interest and decided to pursue a career in singing instead.[2]
S Club 7
Main article: S ClubAt the age of twenty Stevens became a member of the British pop group S Club 7, which were a BRIT Award-winning British pop group created by former Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller. The group rose to fame via their own BBC television programme and by selling 16 million records worldwide[3] and launching four number one hit singles in the United Kingdom. S Club eventually split up in 2003.[4]
In both 2001 and 2002 she was voted the number two Sexiest Woman in the World by UK's FHM readers.[5]
Solo career
2003–2004: Funky Dory
Main article: Funky DoryAfter S Club were disbanded Stevens signed a £1.5 million ($2.3 million) solo four-album deal with Polydor Records and re-signed with Fuller.[6] Stevens said that breaking out on her own after success with S Club was difficult: "I think we [S Club] ended up conforming to what people's perceptions were. This one was the ditzy one, this one was the singer, this one was the dancer. And to come out of that and be a whole person has been a real challenge for me. I didn't have my say, really, in the group. None of us did."[3]
Her first solo single, written by Cathy Dennis and produced by Bloodshy & Avant, "Sweet Dreams My LA Ex", was released in September 2003.[7] Taking inspiration from R&B and adult-style pop music, Stevens's debut solo album, Funky Dory, was released later that month. The album was a minor hit, reaching number nine on the UK albums chart.[8] Although it was not a huge commercial success, it gained praise from pop critics; Jamie Gill, in a review for Yahoo! Launch, said that Stevens "eschews the cheap and cheerful approach of her old band for a slinky adult confidence and musical eclecticism."[9]
That December the album's title track "Funky Dory", featuring a sample of the David Bowie song "Andy Warhol" from his album Hunky Dory, was released as its second single and failed to match the success of "Sweet Dreams My LA Ex", peaking at number twenty-four.[10] MusicOMH called it "musically better than "Sweet Dreams My LA Ex" with a hybrid of pop, Latin and even a hint of jazz infusion" but not a good single choice as a single as it lacked anything special and different.[1]
In July 2004 Stevens released the BBC Sport Relief charity single, "Some Girls", which was produced by Richard X. It became a hit across Europe, and reached number two in the UK. HMV.co.uk called the song Stevens's "finest song to date",[2] and Yahoo! Launch commented that "she came to save her career. She ended up saving pop."[3]
Rachel then signed a lucrative deal with Matalan reportedly worth £1 million and had her hit song "More More More" as the title song for Matalan's advertising campaign.
Following the success of "Some Girls", Funky Dory was re-released to include "Some Girls" and another new track, a cover of Andrea True Connection's "More More More". "More More More" was issued as a single and peaked at number three in the UK, giving Stevens her third top ten solo single in the UK.[11] At this point, Stevens and her management stepped up promotion, earning her a Guinness World Record for "Most Public Appearances by a Pop Star in 24 Hours in Different Cities" (seven on 8–9 September 2004).[12]
2004–2005: Come and Get It
Main article: Come and Get It (Rachel Stevens album)In late 2004 Stevens began working on her second solo album, Come and Get It, with producers and songwriters Richard X, Alexis Strum, and Xenomania.[13] The following March, its first single, "Negotiate with Love", was a top ten hit in the UK.[14] "So Good" was released in July 2005 and also peaked at number ten,[15] being hailed as "tastily produced and sassily delivered."[16] In mid 2005, Channel 4 broadcast a documentary which followed Stevens through the summer as she promoted "So Good".
Stevens released Come and Get It in October 2005. The album was less successful than her debut, peaking at number twenty-eight in the UK.[15] Its third and final single was "I Said Never Again (but Here We Are)", which peaked at number twelve in the UK[15] and was commended by HMV.co.uk for its "astonishingly flawless vocal performance" and as Stevens's "most commercially accessible and quirky single since "Some Girls"."[4] It has the song "Je m'appelle Rachel" on it, which was originally written by Shelly Poole as "Je m'appelle Michelle".
2006–2010: Music Break
In 2007 The Guardian included Come and Get It in their "1000 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die" list.[17]
2011-Present: Return to Music & Tasty Tunes
In early 2010 Stevens announced that she would be returning to the recording studio to begin work on her third album. She is believed to be working with one half of Jewels & Stone who wrote and produced her last single 'I Said Never Again (But Here We Are)'.
In July 2011 a demo track entitled 'Nothing in Common', which was recorded for Come and Get It, was uploaded online.[18]
In October 2011 Rachel is promoting Seven Seas Health Oils, Rachel did live interviews for various radio stations
In November 2011 Rachel's official website posted a message that they have to close the site and forum, there will be a new website and forum soon. It has also been said Rachel is to release an album for toddlers titled "Tasty Tunes" in a project with toddlers food company "Ella's Kitchen". "Rachel Stevens has a new album out - "Tasty Tunes – a unique collection of songs aimed at encouraging toddlers to try new healthy foods". On Tuesday 15th November 2011 Rachel made a guest appearance on ITV1 Lorraine to chat to Lorraine Kelly about being a mother and recording an album for toddlers.
Rachel has also revealed in various interviews recently that she is currently back in the studio recording her third studio album.
Acting career
While Stevens was a member of S Club 7, she appeared in five series of S Club shows: S Club 7 Go Wild!! Miami 7, L.A. 7, Hollywood 7, and Viva S Club. The group also starred in the feature film, Seeing Double. In 2004, Stevens briefly appeared in Suzie Gold, followed by a minor cameo role in Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo (2005).
In 2005 Stevens played a character called "Jane-Mary" in a Spider-Man charity spoof called Spider-Plant Man for the BBC appearing opposite Rowan Atkinson. In December 2007 it was announced that Stevens would be transformed into a 9-inch-high (230 mm) plasticine character for Glendogie Bogey, a new animated comedy for BBC Scotland.[19] Later in 2005, Stevens also played a minor role in Dominic Veall's ITV television drama Flawless playing Lucy Carlts, the sister of Rodger Carlts.

Stevens returned in Series 7 2009 grand final with a group tango which saw her dance with Vincent and alongside series 6 finalist Lisa Snowdon and Brendan Cole.
Stevens and Simone also competed in the 2009 Christmas Special alongside Austin Healey, Chris Hollins, Gethin Jones, Ali Bastian and Ricky Whittle. Stevens and Simone did not win the Christmas Special, however, they did match their score for the rumba (39/40), still the highest score for the dance to date and thus ending the special as runners up.[22]
Personal life
In her earlier years in S Club Stevens dated property developer Daniel Cohen for about two years. Following the split, Cohen stated he met Stevens socially a few times after their break-up, adding "she's an absolute darling, someone I haven't a bad word to say about".[23]
On Valentine's Day in 2002 Stevens became engaged to actor Jeremy Edwards.[24] The couple broke up in early 2004.[25]
After the breakup she dated Gavin Dein, son of former Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein.[26] The relationship did not last long, with the couple splitting up in August 2005.[27]
In September and October 2006 Stevens was linked to actor Stephen Dorff[28] and American-based British singer Oliver Trevena, known professionally as Oli T.[29]
In June 2008 Stevens became engaged to boyfriend Alex Bourne in Italy (who had changed his surname from Leigh) after 18 months of dating.[30] The couple were planning to get married in the autumn of 2008 but decided to postpone their wedding until August 2009 due to Stevens's busy autumn schedule training and performing on Strictly Come Dancing.[31] Stevens married Bourne on 2 August 2009.[32]
On 19 May 2010 the couple announced that Rachel was expecting their first child.[33]
On 16 November 2010, she gave birth to a baby girl, Amelie.[34]
Awareness campaigns
In 2005 Stevens fronted the Everyman Testicular Cancer Awareness campaign. Stevens's role was notable as she was the first woman to represent this campaign. Her television commercial raised eyebrows with its suggestive content that included her telling men to "put one hand down their trousers and give their testicles a good feel". On the commercial, Stevens commented, "Sometimes men need a little encouragement to think about their health. This is a funny way of raising awareness about a serious subject."[5]
In 2005 Stevens also took part in the Make Poverty History campaign, which aims to eliminate poverty in developing countries by cancelling old debts, improving the way aid is given and removing barriers, so these countries can trade more effectively with the rest of the world. Stevens donated an undisclosed amount of money to the campaign, and also starred in television and magazine advertisements supporting the cause. Her official Web site also displayed the campaign's official online banner.[6]
On 15 November 2011 it was reported that Stevens had recorded a collection of songs about fruit and vegetables as a way of helping to encourage children to eat five portions of fruit and veg per day. The songs were for an album titled Tasty Tunes and were made available as free downloads from the website of children's food firm Ella's Kitchen and Stevens launched the songs with a one-off performance at a nursery in Streatham, South London. The songs include food-themed versions of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star and The Hokey-Cokey, and Stevens said of the project; "As a new mum, I'm always looking for exciting ways to encourage my daughter to try new foods, especially greens. I hope tasty tunes help lots of parents sing about fruit and vegetables as part of their little one's everyday playtime."[35][36]
Endorsement deals
Whilst in S Club 7 Stevens fronted the World Wide Fund for Nature. More recently, she has been the front woman for Pretty Polly,[37] Sky Sports, Marks & Spencer,[38] and Focus Dailies.[39] In 2009, Stevens became the new ambassador for Schwarzkopf Gliss hair products.[40] Rachel is currently fronting the launch of Seven Seas Health Oils
