Jeremy Warns Singer Over Sexy Fiancée Rachel

Pop Idol’s Gareth Gates risks broken bones if he makes a play for Rachel, her fiancé warned yesterday.

Holby City hunk Jeremy Edwards, who proposed to S Club 7 singer Rachel last month, said Gareth was no match for him physically. And he added menacingly: “I’m substantially larger. He appreciates that.”

Pop Idol runner-up Gareth, 17, has told repeatedly how he has a crush on Rachel, 23 – and would love to snog her. He has a poster of the stunning singer above his bed. And he gazed longingly into her eyes when they sang together on the last episode of Pop Idol.

Jeremy, 31, was quizzed about Gareth’s crush on his fiancée during a GMTV interview. He admitted he and Rachel had seen Gareth in concert last weekend and found him “very impressive”. But he then warned: “He’s no match for me.”

Giggling Eamonn Holmes butted in: “His wee bones have hardly formed in a medical sense.” And Jeremy, grinning slightly, replied: “Yes. They would snap very easily.” An uneasy Eamonn said he only asked about Rachel because of “what happened between Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake,” who split last week. But Jeremy quickly reassured him: “Well don’t worry – but I appreciate your concern.”
