Claire Richards Reveals Why She’s ‘Stepping’ Away From Steps & Going Solo | This Morning

[@joelarama]

Claire is a friend of a friend. She is a really good person with a kind heart and charming self doubt. Funny too! She is a power house vocally and one of the true authentic “pop” sounding voices still going strong even after many years.

[@xragdoll5662]

Tell her to stop oversinging in her songs

[@cheekytyke]

Lovely interview. She didn’t diss steps, she sounds positive about the group. She just really needed to do this but Steps will return, so it seems to me ❤

[@angel91485]

if I were Claires' bandmate I would understand, she's such have a gifted voice and its a big waste not to give her solo songs or album,..I would be completely supportive.

[@towhomitmayconcern6411]

Always loved her and her voice ! Can't stop looking at how amazing her skin is, still looks like she is in her 20s! Wow

[@41Haloh]

Same here. Is older people need lots of skin products lol.

[@LiamTriggered]

There really aren’t many 90s bands who are still smashing it. Since they’ve come back they’ve had so many number 1 & 2 albums, sell out arena tours, headlining spots and have amazing careers on their own. Steps are true a powerhouse. I know they won’t do Eurovision but imagine if they did. Well done Claire for the album (number 1 on iTunes for 3 days) and is looking to chart strong on Friday. Good luck Lisa who rereleases her 00s album in a couple of week.

#1 on iTunes. LMAO. Sorry. I almost choked. Let's see what it is ok the OFFICIAL charts. 💋

[@markwarren2520]

She has a great voice

[@JohnnyLudlow]

Post the guys with the bables

[@ttp436]

Honestly Clare has a great voice. Not keen on what I have heard from her solo music so far. I think she could have done better or chosen better songs but I wish her well.

[@ZubairAli-kk8vu]

Nice you

[@wayneheyes904]

So misleading she isn’t moving away from steps

[@suzanneboorman966]

Stepping away from Steps Again!!!! 🤔

[@emmadeal1105]

No wonder Claire doesn't read comments on threads like this .. wow .. some real haters here!

[@alisonthornett7516]

I miss Holly and Philip on the show. , can't wait for Claire to go solo .

[@JohnSimpson36]

Philip won't be on the show anymore, ITV are done with him

[@bobbyhunter5612]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@wildcalmxtra]

Andi Peters looks about as interested as a brick.

[@EppingForest304]

Steps will continue… they are massive on the retro circuit

[@louisnk9914]

again ! I feel like she did this before and flopped majorly

[@itsnothinglong1]

Solo career? What. Let it go

[@billyjmcbee]

Again?

[@filipesalgueiro1932]

She cant understand that she works with The rest. Going solo is one more solo act. STEPS are global…

[@kylieking3538]

its a terrible album .... makes you realise how good the originals are and want to put the originals on cause this crap cant compare!

[@stephen6279]

I've listened to Claires solo stuff from this year and it's fine. It's not great. I think she would have done better if she did take notes from the rest of Steps. It's not bad, don't get me wrong, but something is missing. And it's not necessarily the others...but there is an element that's missing.

[@dilzaaaa]

When is Andi Peters planning on aging?

[@TheStevieHWWE]

lmao like she will sell any songs

[@jamestaleporos9794]

Money...

[@marktanner4337]

If shes stepping away from STEPS and only wants to do her own thing then why oh why is she when she is on stage solo seen her in the past few weeks live is she singing STEPS SONGS !! oh and by the way your album is all other Peoples songs wow the talent hey ! Remember what happened to her last walk away from steps !

[@emmadeal1105]

Steps are having a break .. we knew that .. they'll be back.. Claire and Lisa have both said the same. They all do their own things anyway..they never tour all of the time and can't be releasing new songs every week.

[@terrymaloney2967]

😂😂😂😂 Do ya research!

[@littlebunnybunny]

she doesnt look like claire

[@Heidenheim75]

Too much fillers. She looks like Gwen Adele Kardashian.

[@Heidenheim75]

I love her and her voice so much. But with such a budget production, and stereotype disco music, she is not going to make any impact. She would need some good producers, and most important real musicians.

[@pywacketttrixabell6534]

I don't think she will go far

[@chrisdownie6447]

her voice is great but the album is poorly produced and throw away

[@richhhhhh4720]

This is the most cringe interview I’ve ever seen! 😂

[@MarthaMansbridge]

She’s never going to be a successful solo act - can’t knock her for trying but it hasn’t happened over the last 25 years for a reason. She’s dull.

[@Heidenheim75]

She would, with the right producers.

[@aussiejace8572]

Shes done this before hence why steps broke up and her solo career didnt work out. She should learn from past experiences.

[@DarrenFinn-z8l]

Second time she's leaving steps

[@jupiterfive3379]

The Good Morning show really embracing the WOKE agenda with its choice of presenters these days, it seems! Good luck with the new album, Claire. You deserve all the success that comes your way.

I wouldn't call her a superstar.....

This is awful clickbait to get views and i think Claire is getting a bit too big for her boots now... she used to be so down to earth

[@MarthaMansbridge]

When? She’s always had a very high opinion of herself despite failing at every turn to go it alone. Nobody knows who she is if she’s not wailing lead vocals on a Steps track.
