Dancing on Ice beauty Rachel Stevens rose to fame as part of successful pop group S Club 7 in the noughties, achieving number 1 hits and mega money.
During the height of her fame, Rachel, 43, stripped off to pose for a number of lads mags covers, featuring on FHM’s Sexiest Women lists 11 years in a row.
In 2014, she was top of the list as readers voted her their sexiest woman of all time, and Rachel has said she is proud of her racy career.
She previously told the Sun that she will show her daughters Amelie, 11, and Minnie, 7, her photoshoots as they were “just a bit of fun”.
Rachel said: “For me, being in FHM wasn’t sexualised, it was about being sensual and creative. It was about being part of a team.
“I love photoshoots, anyway. I find them so fun and creative.
“I wouldn’t worry about showing Amelie and Minnie those shoots because I’m proud of what I did and my career. It was so of-the-moment. I took it for what it was — a bit of fun.”
Rachel also admitted that she struggled with her confidence while she was in S Club 7, as she was only 19 when she joined.
She added that she wants to give her daughters more confidence so they don’t feel like she didn’t, saying: “I want to bring my girls up to be confident in who they are and the decisions they make. I want them to have self-belief . . . as rounded human beings.”
The mum-of-two added that she plans to “always be honest” with her daughters because they are “so emotionally smart”.
Rachel has signed up to appear in the 2022 series of Dancing on Ice alongside professional skater Brendyn Hatfield.
The star has been sharing an inside look into her training with Brendyn, saying she is finally getting the hang of skating.
Dancing on Ice is set to return in January on ITV next year.
