About Rachel Stevens

Rachel Stevens is a British musician, glamour model and actress. Born 1978 in Southgate, London, United Kingdom to a Jewish family, she attended Ashmole School in London. Stevens has two brothers, Jason and Leigh.

In 1993 she first caught attention by winning a modeling contest sponsored by UK teen magazine Just 17. 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.

At the age of twenty Stevens became a member of the British pop group S Club 7, a 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 and launching four number one hit singles in the United Kingdom. S Club eventually split up in 2003. In both 2001 and 2002 she was voted the number two Sexiest Woman in the World by UK's FHM readers.
