Rachel Stevens awkwardly swerves question about Dancing On Ice feud – after Hannah Spearritt crashed out in week two
RACHEL Stevens has added fuel to the claims of a feud between her and former bandmate Hannah Spearritt.
The S Club stars have been locked in a bitter fall-out since Hannah, 42, claimed she was shunned by the group when she pulled out of their tour last year following the death of Paul Cattermole.
And the awkwardness escalated when Hannah signed up for Dancing on Ice as Rachel's boyfriend Brendyn Hatfield is a professional skater on the ITV show.
Following rumours of backstage frostiness between them, Rachel - who took part in the show in 2022 - did nothing to disperse the claims when she was asked about the series.
OK! Magazine reported: "Rachel had little to say about Hannah [when] asked about this year's Dancing On Ice."
According to the publication, when asked if she'd shared tips with Hannah Rachel bluntly replied: "No."

The Sun previously told how bosses were keen to keep Hannah - who crashed out of the competition after the third live show - and Rachel apart if the latter was in the studio to support Brendyn.
Ahead of her debut on the ice Hannah denied that she and Rachel were clashing.
She told us: "Oh, we’re absolutely fine. I mean we're both… I’m just imagining us there like scrapping.
"Do you know what? I haven't even seen the stories. But obviously, I've heard like roughly what they are saying.
"But yeah, if you're wanting a scrap then unfortunately. I don't think there will be. It’s just madness. She’s her own woman, I’m my own woman."
Rachel and Hannah shot to fame as part of S Club alongside Paul, Jo O'Meara, Tina Barrett, Jon Lee and Bradley McIntosh.
As one of the most iconic pop groups of the noughties, they scored four UK number one singles and sold 10 million records worldwide.
