Rachel’s Man Hunt

Moping about as a single girl is not on the agenda for Rachel Stevens. The former S Club singer – who split from fiance Jeremy Edwards in January – is looking forward to finding a new man.

“I don’t have a new boyfriend yet – I’m not that fast a worker,” she told us yesterday at a screening of romantic comedy Suzie Gold, in which she appears.

But the 25-year-old singer says publicity over the split has had its advantages.

“Guys who knew I was with Jeremy have been a bit more willing to talk to me and ask me out,” she said. “That can’t be a bad thing. I’m looking forward to taking advantage of it and getting some dates.”

Rachel, pictured hailing a taxi in Kensington, West London, yesterday, said she is enjoying her new acting career.

“I play a stroppy diva in a girlband called Take Five. I wonder why they thought of me?” she joked. “I suppose I should worry about being typecast.”

Rachel hopes the movie, released on March 5, is the first of many roles. “I’d love to get in to films full time,” she said.
