RACHEL STEVENS: WHY I STRUGGLE TO OPEN UP

[@JoelleLemon-i4w]

Jamie has turned into one of the best interviewers ever. I'm concurrently rewatching Made in Chelsea and his KZbin channel and its great to see real growth in a person.

[@sdw_71]

Rachel is so lovely. Clever, articulate, down to earth and impossibly gorgeous

[@alexthepensmith6101]

I met Rachel when she did a signing for her book at Waterstones in Westfield London over the summer. She was so lovely and really made time for everyone, and as a fan of hers and of S Club it meant a lot ☺️

[@52Mistakes]

Jamie you have a knack of getting people to talk like old friends. I have watched a few of these interviews and I often leave thinking: I bet they will remain friends, Kudos for being able to make that connection. As for Rachel, WOW, such a bonus to discover that her real beauty is on the inside. Never judge!

[@deepsleepclinicdeirdreocon7211]

Great to hear Rachel's story , feel how much she's been through and it's good to see how she's managed it - a lot of bravery and strength inside of her - inspiring!

[@Danny.1.007]

I met Rachel in 2003 and she was absolutely lovely obviously beautiful but she was also really nice she took the time to talk to us and we got photos, also Rachel has great genes I grew up looking old she has stayed looking like she is still in her twenties 😊

[@sh.4409]

I’m 36 and still get asked for ID sometimes.

[@prittypolly2011]

Rachel just said about listening and ge jumps over speaking her. Still loving the podcast

[@bernadettecshea]

❤ Enjoyed watching my UK fix. I live in NZ now and miss watching these chats. I used to get called Rachel a lot in my 20s!

[@jg-im4px]

She is still on guard bless her, and he finds it frustrating

[@janeclark8906]

And Rachael is lovely 🎉

[@CarpFish1]

Rachel is amazing and so beautiful still ❤❤

[@norcal0076]

We all need to let our light shine❤

[@popunderrated]

Great interview

[@ashg8207]

Absolutely LOVED her song some girls 🤩

[@sh.4409]

My mate rang my house phone singing never has a dream come true messing about and my mum answered the phone and told her it was lovely. She was horrified until years later she use to start singing it through the letter box.

[@Spindlewood]

Danced to top of the pops as a kid and caught up with MIC with the girls at The Ship at 19. You’re both stars, yet you’re both so relatable and so so lovely. Silent watcher usually but shitfaced, live laugh love

[@suzanneharper4877]

I hope Rachel gets over her anxiety of being vulnerable in the public eye.. I think that’s why this interview was a bit stilted. Jamie answered the questions for her. The anxiety is understandable when your whole life is front page news. ❤❤

[@Howardone]

Jamie seems to be a wonderfully nice person. I remember not wanting to like him when he was on Strictly because of where he came from. But as the weeks went on and even though he wasn't the greatest natural dancer compared to the other finalists, I ended up rooting for him because of how generous and loving he was. I would have saved him in the dance off because his energy made me want to dance, no matter what the score was going to be.

[@paulgduckworth]

I LOVE her songs. I struggled a bit with this interview. It’s like she never actually said anything? Or just a word-salad? I don’t know. I still love her songs, and she is gorgeous, and she can dance. That’s enough I guess. 🤷😊

[@Roxanne670]

I thought the same. Someone commented that she is incredibly stupid, which I don't think is true. She is lovely and always thought of as girl next door but she spoke about a bandmate's death, divorce and her dad leaving the family with virtually no emotion. Maybe not very deep or maybe she has spent her life with people so focused on the outside, she doesn't want to (or can't) drop the appearance by getting too deep 🤷

[@montyf3594]

Really enjoyed this, if thats the right term, very thought provoking. Rachel is indeed beautiful inside and out. Jamie, to be honest I previously thought you were a love child of Boris, but you are an excellent interviewer/ host.( Rachel Certainly does not lack depth and is not stupid - refering to another recent comment)

[@charlie-wu6ph]

She's so beautiful!

[@peachesmcgee4795]

I always thought LA Ex was a really good noughties bop!

[@markwatson4106]

Great that. 👌

[@sajjadali2008]

Huge fan. But she's so ridiculously reserved still and not candid at all which doesn't make her book a great read, I need more honesty from her. I can only think it's the management that's made them like that. She struggles with her words and thoughts a little sometimes too. It's like she could say honestly what she felt about Hannah not being part of the reunion, the S Club money drama and them splitting not because of the dynamic change but the sales dropping off abit.

[@paulmiddletonmusic]

Love her

[@BobbyManford123]

Cathy Denis wrote all those songs in a weekend. ? That’s special

[@davidwilliams8352]

love rachel

[@RobinMarshall-gu4cp]

Rachel was so Pretty.

[@aimeestaines]

I absolutely love all the guests you bring in! Just a little feedback that if you could please introduce the guest at the beginning. Saves the audience guessing what they do and give more context to their situation🙏

[@JoelleLemon-i4w]

It is in the desc and also she's world famous..

[@helenawood6229]

I find her so difficult to watch because shes hard to be interviewed its like she doesnt to want or doesnt know what to say.

[@MichelleJones-fg3mk]

I think maybe she's just shy

[@mybrainismagiccity]

Well.. she was definitely closed off and awkward, reminded me so much of me. 😂

[@thepopfiles4294]

I always like Rachel, however she always came across as quite boring in interviews in her pop days, I don’t mean to be cruel by saying that. But it kinda makes sense watching this. So good to hear her talk and engage with substance. I guess that comes with age, motherhood and challenges that you don’t have in your 20’s.

[@LeTon75]

Sounds a nice person

[@janeclark8906]

Great podcast as always .But Jamie as a hairdresser you do need to tone your hair .Mum and Sophie are right it's far too bleached .not being rude .just saying .You have such a lovely face.You need more tone .love both podcasts .You are such a good interviewer .you are honest and open .so you bring that out in everyone .🙌

[@Dumbpuppet101]

i hear you but i really like it! platinum suits him in my eyes 😄

[@ellaell2002]

on your thumbnail the correct spelling of "focusing" not "focussing"

[@laurenShilling]

mind went in the gutter with the deep comments soz

[@nickking2491]

A wonderful lady, plus I would love to take her out for dinner

[@charlie-wu6ph]

Love the spliff talk.. at least she's got a sense of humour about it 😂

[@michael-sz3ff]

Rachel Sclub7 🙂 omg good times before social media happy cheery light hearted fun catchy pop songs young girls/teens 20s liked NO WOKENESS SEXUALIZATION OR POLITICALLNESS ! Crap today not good for kids when will parents society do something about it !

[@juliathomas6512]

They should not have gone on with the tour, out of respect for Paul.It was too soon after he passed away.

[@VivaLaDJDerzyBugzBunny4Lyfe]

Can I Make You A Cuppa Tea?

[@trippydippy-j5n]

Lol lots of innuendo of going "deep" here , she has a dirty mind.

[@blondie4]

I’m unsure why Rachel said that Britney wanted the song LA X when it is well known (and quite obviously) was written for Britney about Justin. She seems like a nice enough girl but incredibly stupid and lacking in depth. I couldn’t listen to the whole interview cos of this.
