Look out boys, gorgeous Rachel Stevens says she would happily strip off for a sex scene.The former S Club singer has hung her microphone up for a while and wants to pursue an acting career.

And she told the Razz she’d be comfortable with taking her clothes off in the line of duty.

Rachel said: “I’m with an acting management company. We’re looking at the script for a great romantic comedy play at the moment.

“Some of the scripts I’ve read have full-on sex scenes and stuff like that but that’s part of it. You’ve got to go for it.”

Rachel said she had enrolled to study an acting technique which would help her overcome any fears about getting naked on stage or screen.

She said: “It’s basically about being fully truthful in the moment and putting your attention on to the other person. It taught me that when you are in the moment and take on a role, that it doesn’t matter about these things.

“You’re not thinking about yourself, so don’t have that awkwardness about being naked in front of all the crew.”

A brand new series of Primeval is in production - with two hot new additions to its cast.

Sexy Laila Rouass, of Footballer’s Wives fame, and movie star Jason Flemyng will join Hannah Spearritt, Ben Miller and Andrew-Lee Potts in an extended run of the ITV1 drama.

And fans will be pleased to know they will be spoiled with a stonking ten episodes after the show’s successful second series.

Not only is the cast getting sexier and the series longer, the plots are getting wilder - and our heroes will soon have a terrifying Giganotosaurus to deal with…

Scary!

Former S Club 7 singer Jo O’Meara has split from her boyfriend – just one month away from giving birth to her first child.

The shamed BB star is expecting a son with her ex, who she refuses to name.

Despite parting ways Jo, 28, hopes he’ll still play a part in the baby’s upbringing.

“I think I’ve made the right decision,” she says. “If you stay in something that won’t be happy, that’s not good for the baby.

“He’s going to be loved by both his parents and he’s not going to see us feuding.”

As one of S Club 7, Tina Barrett made four number one singles, one number one album and a slightly ropey film.

Since S Club 7’s split, Tina has managed to avoid a lot of the controversy that other S Clubbers have found themselves in - mainly by steering clear of making slightly racist comments on reality TV shows and Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London.

She currently lives in London and spends her time working on solo material and fending off the hamfisted romantic advances of hecklerspray.

We asked Tina Barrett the same questions we ask everyone else, and this is how she answered…

Heavily pregnant Jo O’Meara – struggling financially since her disastrous Celebrity Big Brother appearance – has sold her country home.

The singer had put the four-bedroom property in leafy Noaks Hill, Essex, up for auction, but accepted an offer of £560,000.

Depressed after last year’s CBB found her caught up in a racism row, former S Club star Jo, 28, retreated to the house to work with rescued horses.

Estate agent Duncan Kaye said: “It was on the market for a few months. The owner wanted a quick sale.”

Uh-oh, Bradley McIntosh – of S Club 7 fame, remember? – is in trouble. The 26-year-old ex band member was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving early this morning.

A spokesperson for Oxford police would only confirm to heatworld: “At 5.30am, on Gypsy Lane, Oxford, a 26-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving and released on police bail today until 1 March.” When we contacted Bradley’s agent he could neither confirm nor deny the story.

The competition, which is launched today and runs until April 7, will see the winning creature being brought to life when the show’s third series hits screens next year, reports the Daily Star.

Executive producer Tim Haines said: “By giving people the opportunity to design a monster for the third series we are creating a chance for them to be more involved and feel closer to the programme.”

Tim added that the cast and crew were all delighted with the success of the second series: “We are extremely proud of Primeval. Its popularity demonstrates that you can create ‘characters’ in CGI that audiences will respond to.”

Primeval star Hannah Spearritt has banned knicker shots from the new series because they are too saucy for children.

Last year viewers got an eyeful when they tuned in to the sci-fi smash and saw the actress wandering around her flat in skimpy underwear.

But when filming started for the new season, Hannah, 26, told producers she would not  strip for the cameras again.

The former S Club singer – who plays researcher Abby Maitland – said: “I thought the clips of me wandering around in my pants last year were a bit much.

“The thing is, this was already in the script when I got the part and I didn’t think too much about it at the time.

“We filmed the scenes all in one block. But the actual clips got spread across the series so it made it look like I was walking around in pants all the time.

“When we watched it back, we were quite shocked. I say ‘less is more’. We don’t need it for the show.”

But Hannah says fans need not worry if they still want sexy shots in the monster show.

She giggled: “If you want to see hot naked flesh, then the lovely James Murray, who plays Stephen, gets his top off!”

Primeval star Hannah Spearritt has asked for a toy doll of her TV character to be adjusted so that it has bigger breasts.

The actress, who plays reptile expert Abby Maitland on the ITV1 show, told manufacturers that the original doll was not realistic enough.

“I went into the factory and saw them halfway through the making process,” Hannah told the Daily Star. “I saw my head without hair on a stick, which was weird.

“I have been told three characters were sent back and are being redone. They are having minor adjustments - including mine because I have asked for my boobs to be bigger.”

Primeval returns next Saturday at 7pm on ITV1.

Hannah Spearritt and Andrew-Lee Potts are due to appear on the Jonathan Ross Show on BBC1 on Friday 11th January 2008, the day before the launch of Primeval series 2 on Saturday 12th January 2008.
