OHMYGOSSIP — Rachel Stevens is comfortable with wearing skimpy outfits on ‘Dancing on Ice’.
The 43-year-old star will make her debut on the ice in tomorrow’s (30.01.22) show after being denied the chance to perform last week due to injury but is looking forward to showing off her toned physique on the show, where she is partnered with professional skater Brendyn Hatfield.
Rachel told The Sun newspaper: “I really know my body now. I know what suits me and what doesn’t.
“That really helps me going into something like this – and the creative team are so open. They know what works in terms of the show and I know what works in terms of my body.
“It’s just playing with shapes rather than trying to hide or cover anything.”
Rachel explained how the intense training for the ITV skating show has done wonders for her body confidence.
The former S Club 7 singer said: “I definitely feel stronger in my core and more body-aware. I wasn’t really doing any specific workout regime before I took on the show.
“Now I definitely feel more toned. Getting in my costume for the first time I was like, ‘This is so much fun!’ But you’ve also got to feel confident.”
Rachel was a lads’ mags favourite back in the 2000s and was honoured with accolades such as Rear of the Year and The Sexiest Woman Of All Time and has fond memories of the experiences.
The mother-of-two – who shares daughters Amelie, 11, and Minnie, seven, with her husband Alex Bourne – said: “I will absolutely ride off that title for ever. At the time, I remember thinking how fun that was and, ‘I’ll definitely take that’.
“The early Noughties was such a fun moment in time. I was 21, I was growing up and it was lovely to express that side of myself and do photoshoots that were a bit more sensual.
“Now it’s more the case that I still want to feel sexy in my forties. I just want to feel more empowered as I get older. Also, I’m a mum to two girls and I want them to grow up feeling confident too.”
