Rachel on Dare magazine
She was the real star of last year’s series of Strictly Come Dancing but has, at least for the moment, hung up her dance shoes to plan her wedding. On or off the dancefloor, Rachel Stevens manages to look amazing. She takes a break to put her feet up and tell DARE how she does it...
You can’t help but like her. A self-confessed girly girl, she puts you at ease from the moment she first says ‘Hi, I’m Rachel’, (as if you didn’t know!). It’s obvious from the off that she’s a total beauty junkie. Not a lot gets stocked on Superdrug’s shelves that she doesn’t get to slick on, smoothe in or sample first. Just as well she’s bagged herself a lifetime supply of Schwarzkopf Gliss haircare, thanks to signing on the dotted line to be their new brand ambassador. So that’s her haircare sorted, what about the rest of her beauty booty?
You must have a dressing table the size of a Superdrug store…
‘Almost. My fiancé Alex groans at the amount of beauty stuff I’ve got. But I’m really lucky. I get sent loads of products to try so I have to give them all a go, especially now that I write beauty reviews on my website, www. rachelstevensofficial.com. I admit I’ve got a soft spot for the odd indulgent product but to be honest, I’m not a Label Mabel. I just like things that work. And if they happen to be cheap and cheerful then so much the better.’
Any desire, then, to create your own fragrance?
‘Ooh, I’d love that. I’d love to go and pick out the notes with a professional Nose and get really involved. I’d want to design the packaging myself and everything. I’d give it avery glamorous name – something like Razzle. Actually, no, that’s really naff! It’ll take a while to find the right name. But I’m not into sweet floral smells. It would definitely be a sexy fragrance – something almost manly, with lots of musk and wood.’

Tina to Dance on Ice 2010?
Bobby Davro has been snapped by paparazzi while training for the new series of Dancing on Ice, says a report.
The 49-year-old was seen taking his first nervous steps at an ice rink in north London at the weekend, according to the Daily Mail.
The new series will not hit our screens for a few months but the latest intake of celebrity contestants are believed to be taking to the ice in preparation for the rigorous training regime.
Davro was joined on the ice by The Bill actor Gary Lucy and by former Corrie star Tracy Shaw.
Onlookers said that Davro appeared to be the least comfortable on the ice and Shaw appeared to be "more relaxed".
It has been claimed that the other celebrities who will be participating in Dancing on Ice 2010 include, former S Club 7 singer Tina Barrett, Olympic Swimmer Sharron Davies and the model Keeley Hazell.
Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby will resume their role of hosts on the show but it has been reported that there will be a change to the line-up of the judging panel.
Ruthie Hensall will not be taking part in the new series as she is said to be concentrating on TV and stage work.

ITV rejected Impossible’s offer of budget Primeval
Impossible Pictures offered to make a fourth series of ITV1’s CGI drama Primeval for less than £600,000 an episode - but even that was not enough of a bargain to convince the broadcaster to reorder the show. Under the deal, the Sci Fi Channel in the UK (to be rebranded Syfy in July) would have aired the show first, ahead of ITV1. But ITV turned the offer down and a spokesman confirmed that the decision was made to help the commercial broadcaster protect its 9pm drama slate.
Impossible founder Tim Haines said: “There was a lot of talk when Primeval was cancelled that it must have been because it is a big show, with lots of CGI and special effects. “That’s not the case. ITV wasn’t paying the whole costs anyway but we offered to lower the price further and bring in 50% of the funding with co-pro deals. It would still have been getting a show worth more than £1m for less than £600,000.”
Haines said he “completely understood” ITV’s position, which was “not unique”. “Drama producers are going to have to become a lot more adept at financing their productions,” he said. Impossible is now negotiating with a US broadcaster to adapt Primeval. Haines said it was likely that the series would “start from scratch” with a slightly edgier feel. He added that he was hopeful Primeval could eventually come back to the UK, but as a US acquisition rather than a commission.

Rachel witnessed a gun attact in London restaurant
Pop star Rachel Stevens was caught up in a terrifying gun attack as she enjoyed a quiet meal with her family at a popular celebrity restaurant. A gunman carrying two pistols and wearing a motorbike helmet chased another man into the busy restaurant packed with diners, last night.
The star of Strictly Come Dancing and close family members, including fiance Alex Bourne, looked on in horror as the gunman opened fire and shot a 31-year-old man in the leg and a 15-year-old boy in the arm. One man working at the restaurant, who did not want to be named, confirmed the 31-year-old former member of S Club 7 had been enjoying a meal at the popular restaurant at the time.
'The restaurant was full at the time and I think there were about five shots fired,' he said. A spokeswoman for Miss Stevens said last night: 'Rachel and her family were dining at a restaurant where gunshots were fired. It was frightening experience for everybody there but none of the diners were hurt.'
She added that Miss Stevens was shaken up and shocked but otherwise unharmed and had gone home. The attack comes just weeks after she was robbed of her jewellery by three men who followed her to her home in nearby Regents Park.

Rachel and Alex had a public argument
Rachel Stevens stormed out of a restaurant last Wednesday after a row with fiancé Alex Bourne – raising doubts about their forthcoming wedding. It is the latest unhappy episode for the 31-year-old former S Club singer after her diamond engagement ring was stolen two weeks ago.
A witness who saw the row at Joe Allen’s restaurant in London’s Covent Garden said: ‘All of a sudden Rachel just erupted and screamed at Alex, “That’s it. That is absolutely it.”
‘She almost up-ended the table she was in such a rage. 'She stormed out with her Chanel bag, leaving Alex looking very red-faced.’
I’m told that even TV host Jerry Springer, who was at the next table, looked embarrassed for Rachel and Alex. Rachel's priceless engagement ring was stolen last week after three men ambushed the singer at her £800,000 flat in north London.

Inside views about Primeval
Here go some inside opinions about cancelling Primeval. The source isn't very clear so don't take it as an absolute truth.
A source close to the production team told website Total Sci-Fi: “At the point where we finished the third series, we had every reason to believe we would be doing a fourth. Had we known there was any likelihood of cancellation, clearly we wouldn’t have left half the cast marooned up a tree in the distant past.
“We can understand that some fans might be frustrated by this ending and we’re sorry for that. It certainly wasn’t our plan to leave things so uncertain. That said some fans may know that there are ongoing talks for both a film and a North American series version of Primeval. If and when those projects come to fruition we will make every effort to carry on the story in a suitable way.”

Rachel on the latest OK
Rachel Stevens isn't letting her recent mugging ruin her wedding plans. The former s club star says she won't let the terrifying experience spoil her special day and will focus all of her attention on preparations for her wedding in August.
The terrifying ordeal took place last week when Rachel returned to her north London home after shopping. Before she was able to put the key in the door, she was ambushed by three men who stole the engagement ring Alex Bourne had given her last year after he proposed and a rolex watch. Although she was left shaken by the horrific incident, Rachel is now keen to put it behind her and concentrated on her lavish wedding that takes place in August - from which OK will bring you exclusive coverage.
Also keeping her mind off her terrible ordeal is her hunky fiance Alex, who was by her side when she bravely popped out a day after the robbery.
"The most romantic thing is having someone who's there for you and supports you," she told us. "If im ever upset he runs me a bath with candles and gives me a massage. When a man is sensitive enough to know you're upset without me having to say anything, you're onto a good thing."

Primeval axed after three series
Science fiction drama series Primeval has been axed after "three very successful series", ITV has confirmed.
Starring Ben Miller, Douglas Henshall, and ex-S Club 7 star Hannah Spearritt, the show followed a group of scientists studying prehistoric creatures.
"High quality drama remains a key part of the ITV schedule, although our current focus is on post-watershed production," ITV said in a statement.
The show had an average audiences of about five million this year.
The figure was down from around six million for the first two series.
Earlier this year, ITV announced 600 job cuts and says it is now aiming to cut a further £40m in 2010.
Primeval may have suffered because of the big-budget computer effects needed to generate its fantastical creatures.
Website Total Sci-Fi said it had been told by a source that Primeval's production team were "devastated" but that they had "every intention of keeping Primeval alive in other ways".

Jon has updated his MySpace. He's added a gorgeous new picture and a blog with a YouTube video ( by Emma ). The blog is called Jo O'Meara and Jon Lee which gave me all kinds of ideas first. But there's an old video of those 2 singing Bring Him Home from Les Misérables. So beautiful. There's no text or introduction, I wonder what made him share. But anyway, so cute of him.

TELLY beauty Rachel Stevens was mugged for her engagement ring yesterday on her own doorstep.
The Strictly Come Dancing star — due to have a posh wedding in weeks — was ambushed by three thugs as she went into her £800,000 flat.
