Rachel Stevens became a household pinup for many teens who had the pleasure of growing up in the 90s.
As the bombshell is turning another year older today and celebrating her 43rd birthday, the Daily Star has taken a look through some of her sexiest moments ever.
The songstress first shot to fame as part of the dual sex pop band S Club 7, with the group going on to scoop up four UK number one hits.
After they had disbanded in 2003, Rachel started her solo career with her Sweet Dreams My LA Ex album peaking at number two in the official charts – while propelling her sex appeal to new height in the process.
In 2009 she took home the award for Rear Of The Year and in 2014 was voted the Sexiest Woman Of All-Time by FHM.
Glancing back at her life in spotlight, Daily Star have uncovered some of her hottest snaps of all time.

Rachel certainly ramped up the sex appeal when she unveiled her new album Sweet Dreams My LA Ex which included the track Funky Dory.
The video for that hit song saw the songstress strip to scantily-clad attire that left little to the imagination.
She rocked a mint green corset that was virtually see-through and barely managed to conceal her modesty.
The transparent garment was teamed with an equally revealing mini-skirt as she paraded her toned and bronzed legs.
Sexiest Woman Of All-Time
In 2014, Rachel beat off some extremely stiff competition, winning the FHM Award for the Sexiest Woman Of All Time.
She pipped the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Kelly Brook, Cheryl Cole and Halle Berry to the winners podium.
Speaking about her title at the time, she told FHM: “To win this award feels absolutely amazing. It’s so flattering to think that people think of me that way. It’s brilliant.”
It really is no surprise that Rachel was a strong contender, given she had ranked second place in 2001, 2002 and 2004, along with 11 features in the top 100 and dazzling fans on eight covers over the years.

Over the years Rachel has served up her fair share of steamy displays, including this throwback that she shared with her 222,000 Instagram fans.
These days the mum-of-two likes to cover her curves in any must have high street item of clothing, so it really was rare treat when she opted to dish out a racy lingerie snap from her archives.
Keeping it sassy, she simply captioned: “TBT.”

Rachel has proved in the past that she has dynamite curves.
The solo artist can literally don any item of clothing and still look stunning – including a 1950s inspired swimsuit that would unflatten the best of us but not the S Club 7 starlet.
Showing off her hour glass proportions she wowed in the skintight halter neck number.
If that wasn’t enough to captivate attention, she certainly brought the eye to her cleavage region in the plunging item as she hugged her assets in the photoshoot.

The hitmaker turned TV queen clearly wasn’t happy about coming second to Jennifer Lopez in FHM’s Sexiest Woman competition in 2001.
Instead, she decided to cause a heat surge at the awards in London sporting a very eye-popping and glitzy number to the red carpet ceremony.
The low cut dress also boasted cut out detailing at the sides flashing even more bare skin, with the blonde lapping up all of the limelight.

In 2008, Rachel sent temperatures soaring as she took centre stage on the hit BBC show Strictly Come Dancing.
She caused quite a stir as she flaunted her svelte and toned body in anything skimpy each week.
It wasn’t just her racy attire that caused hearts to skip a beat but her close connection and spicy dance routines with her pro partner Vincent Simone that seemed to fire up viewers of the show.
Rachel seems to have a habit of scooping up second place and she did just that in the sizzling ballroom competition, losing out to Tom Chambers and his partner Camilla Dallerup.
