RACHEL Stevens threatened to steal the show at the mighty Hoopla festival yesterday when she took to the stage in a sexy see-through outfit.

The S Club 7 star, 46, was in fine form following the pop group's reunion arena tour and delivered a hit-packed set for the London crowd.

Fittingly for Pride month, Rachel was tied up in rainbow coloured ribbons as her dancers performed around her during a rendition of Sweet Dreams My LA Ex.

There was a lot of love for the star's solo noughties hits with Some Girls going down a storm too.

Though the performance was dazzling, some fans questioned whether the vocals were live - but it didn't seem to bother them either way.

One person wrote on X: "Rachel Stevens isn’t singing a note live and it’s the best thing I’ve ever seen."

Another said: "Cheek of Rachel Stevens saying 'I wanna hear you sing' to the crowd while lip syncing her entire set."

Another said: "The irony of Rachel Stevens telling the Hoopla crowd she wants to hear them singing, while she mimes."

Rachel is riding a purple patch at the moment with her pop career resurgent and her love life flying high too.

She struck up a romance this year with Dancing on Ice pro skater Brendyn Hatfield, 36, and the pair went on a romantic holiday in March.

A source told us at the time: "Rachel had a really great friendship and partnership with Brendyn and it keeps developing. They’re really smitten and looking forward to the future.

"She wasn’t expecting to find love again at this stage in her life but she’s feeling positive about what’s to come and hopeful about a new start."

Meanwhile the S Club reunion was a huge success after issues plagued the opening of the run.

It ended up being a fitting tribute to late band member Paul Cattermole, who tragically died last year - just months before the tour was due to begin.

Rachel told us earlier this year: "Paul was so excited about this tour, and it has turned into such a tribute to   and celebration of him.

“It has been very emotional, but it’s a very cathartic way of sharing him and his memories.”
