London dance studio, Danceworks, is offering a free dance class and Q&A with S Club’s Tina Barrett at 6pm on Monday January 18th.

The one off high energy class will involve fusions of jazz, hip hop and ballet to test your superstar credentials. There will also be a chance to ask Tina for any industry tips and advice afterwards.

The class is open to people of all skill levels, however Danceworks will also be looking for professional female dancers for an upcoming TV project.

Admission is free on a first come first served basis by reserving your place with Katy Teague.

While most women with a successful career over many years might look forward to starting a family, former S Club singer Rachel Stevens is determined to stay focused on work.

‘I am a real career girl, always working on new projects – I will not give it up,’ she said.

The 31-year-old pop star and Strictly Come Dancing contestant, who wed actor Alex Bourne in August, cheekily added: ‘We want babies but we’ve only been married a short time. Let’s just say we are doing a lot of practising.’

Hi everyone!

Hope you are all well. Bet you can’t wait for Chrimbo!? I’m very excited!

Sorry I’ve not been in touch for a while… It’s been crazy busy!

It was so great to be back on the Strictly final dancing again last weekend! I’d missed dancing so much and of course Vincent, so I was so excited to be back… I cant believe that it was a year ago… time flies but being back on the show was like I had never left!

Also, just so you all know, I’m going to be on the Strictly Christmas Special performing a Rumba… so don’t forget to tune in on Christmas day!

Some of you may have read in a couple of the papers that I’m getting back into music, it’s very early stages at the moment but I’m going into the studio in the new year… all very exciting! I’ll keep you all posted with what’s going on.

Anyway going to try and finish off my Christmas shopping now… so much to do!!!

Wishing you all a very happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year!

Lots of love.
Rachel xx

Hannah Spearritt in photo shoot by Sven Arnstein from January 2007. Definitely one of the best Hannah photo shoots, now in HQ!

Primeval star Andrew-Lee Potts has claimed that producers have “shocking” plots planned for the new series.

The 30-year-old actor will soon reprise his role as Connor Temple on the ITV1 sci-fi show, which was recently given a surprise recommission for 13 more episodes.

In an interview with IESB, Potts commented: “It’s great coming back to play him. And then, also, I get to work with my fiancée Hannah Spearritt. When it was cancelled, it was such a shame because we enjoyed working with each other so much and we thought, ‘We might never do that again’. That made us sad.

“But, we’re going to be able to do that again. And we actually went out for dinner with all the producers the other day, and the storylines they’ve got and the stuff that’s going to happen this time is going to be really good. It’s very shocking as well.”

Potts also said that he always had a “gut feeling” the show would come back and is “really pleased” that he turned out to be correct.

Filming for Primeval will begin in March ahead of a 2011 return.

Finally, here are the scans of Rachel Stevens in the January 2010 FHM Magazine. As usual the new photoshoot is even better than the last one, but the article is also worth reading. Rachel talks about S Club, FHM cover shoots, and about her plans to return to music.

Rachel’s Strictly confession as she’s voted girl of the decade

She scores a perfect ten posing in her skimpies for these hot shots – after waltzing off with a Girl of the Decade gong from the lads’ mag FHM.

The former S Club 7 singer says we have her role on last year’s Strictly Come Dancing – partnering Vincent Simone – to thank for her saucy fancy-pants poses.

The beauty said: “I was probably in the best shape of my life. There’s no greater exercise for man nor woman to get you in shape.”

“I miss it. No wobbly bits, but you still feel womanly. That gave me confidence – I went far ruder with the lingerie than I’d ever been before.”

Rachel first graced the mag in 2000 and said she was stunned to be asked to pose then because she didn’t think she was hot enough. “It was really flattering,” she said. “You don’t really think of yourself as sexy.”

The Mirror caught up with the lovely Rachel Stevens at Take That’s PlayStation 3 SingStar game launch, and she revealed she’s ready to get back to her one true love.

Rachel said: “I love music – that’s my main passion in life so I’m going to head back into the studio and start working on new music next year. I’ve had a nice break from recording and I’m ready to get back to what I truly love doing.”

Rachel and Alex photographed leaving the SingStar Take That Extravaganza at the Tabernacle in Notting Hill, London on November 25th. (UPDATE: 5 more pictures added)

You can have this awesome fashion accessory whilst raising money for teens with cancer!

When we saw this stylish round the neck of the equally stylish Rachel Stevens, we had to know right away, where can we get one?!

Well, this beauty is available at Dune in the Bentall Centre in Kingston-Upon-Thames. If you happen to be in the area (or are willing to travel) and the oversized jewelled flower on a long chain looks like something you NEED to add to your collection of accessories, we suggest you head over!

At £45 it might seem a little steep, but here’s the important part: EVERY PENNY goes to the Teenage Cancer Trust. The organisation makes a huge difference to the lives of young people with cancer all over the country, and this necklace gives you the opportunity to help out too. Definitely worth it, we think!

If you’d like to donate to the Teenage Cancer Trust, visit their website.
