Rachel Stevens has made her first public outing since her split from Dancing On Ice professional skater Brendyn Hatfield.
The former S Club 7 star, 47, and pro skater, 40, who were partnered together on Dancing On Ice in 2022, parted ways earlier this month.

But Rachel brushed off her split on Friday as she was seen was beaming as she attended the The Sunday Times Style Beauty Awards 2025.
She looked effortlessly chic for the morning event in a pair of black wide-leg trousers, with a fitted blazer and stiletto blazer.
Rachel captioned the snaps: ‘What a lovely morning @theststyle beauty awards. Got some great tips on all the top hot products and ended the afternoon with a picante.
