S Club 7 star Rachel Stevens set to release tell-all book amid ‘feud’ with Hannah Spearritt and split from husband
S CLUB 7 star Rachel Stevens is set to spill the truth amid her fall out with Hannah Spearritt in a brand new book.
Rachel, 45, has penned a tell-all autobiography called Finding My Voice and admits it has been a "very personal project".
The book's subhead states it is: "A Story of Strength, Self-Belief and S Club 7."
Rachel, who is also expected to lift the lid on her marriage breakdown with husband Alex Bourne, says she has always been too nervous to "share" much of her life with fans.
But next spring, they will be able to read the truth.
Rachel announced the news on Instagram, saying: "Hi everyone. I am SO excited to finally announce that behind the scenes, I’ve been working on a brand new, very personal project…
I’ve written my first-ever book!"

She added: "There’s so much I haven’t had the confidence to share before now. I can’t wait to let you in and share my story with you all."
Rachel's pal replied: "I am so very proud of you my person, I can’t wait for you to share your story."
S Club 7 are currently on tour after reuniting earlier this year to celebrate their 25th anniversary.
However, their huge string of reunion gigs have been marred by tragic sadness and a fall out.

In April, just two months after their comeback was announced, band member Paul Cattermole suddenly died aged 46.
A coroner later concluded he had passed away from 'natural causes' due to a combination of heart-related issues.
The band publicly vowed to press on with their arena tour, but Hannah claims she was then snubbed from the gigs.
Still reeling over the death of Paul - who she had previously been in a romantic relationship with - Hannah told The Sun she only realised she was not being included when the band went behind her back and filmed a social media post without her.
She was about to sign her contract but says she was then “blindsided” after bosses went ahead with the launch.
In July, the band were quizzed on Hannah's future with S Club during an appearance on This Morning.
Refusing to answer directly, Jon Lee attempted to dismiss the story, adding: "We're doing a 15-date tour across the country which starts in Birmingham on October 12th. We're going back to Dublin. We're really looking forward to seeing the Irish fans."
Pushing back, host Josie Gibson asked: "The door is always open for Hannah, is that what you're saying?"
Jon added defensively: "Yeah we've said that many times."
His bandmate and lead singer Jo O'Meara said: "Yeah, it's always open."
Earlier this month, Hannah claimed she was "no longer in touch" with her bandmates.
She said: "I’ve not spoken to any of them since I left, which is fine.
"I was extremely excited — we all were — to get back as a seven.
"But then Paul died and everything changed. It gave me time to reflect on whether it was the right thing for me to do.
"I’m really sad we aren’t in touch. They’ve gone their way and I’ve gone mine. I wish them all the best."
S Club 7 did not reference Hannah during their opening night.
Members Jo, Rachel, Jon , Bradley McIntosh and Tina Barrett made no reference to her as they kicked off their Good Times tour in Manchester.
A source told The Sun: “They didn’t mention her once during the whole gig - even during the tribute to Paul.

"It was really weird as she was obviously a big part of the band and in it for a long time - but it was like she didn’t exist.”
Hannah has since signed up to the new series of Dancing On Ice.
