Rachel Stevens shot to fame as part of the iconic group S Club 7 aged just 19, catapulting her to fame, bringing with it all the glamour, glitz and BRIT Awards.

But it was in 1993 when she first caught the attention of talent agents by winning a modelling contest sponsored by UK teen magazine Just 17, beating 5,000 other competitors.

After a stint studying a business diploma at the London College of Fashion and briefly working in PR – she finally decided to pursue her musical dream.

In her memoir Finding my Voice, Rachel talks about the highs and lows of her life and career, from managing lifelong anxiety to dealing with the loss of friend and S Club bandmate Paul Cattermole.
