Lee Ryan could be about to get some popstar company in Walford, as Rachel Stevens is also eyeing up a part on EastEnders.

The former S Club 7 singer has reiterated that she has been in talks to join the BBC soap in the past – adding that she'd be very up for the opportunity if it ever arose.

"There have been a few times where there have been talks about it over the years," Rachel told The Sun.

"You know what it's like with things, it's all about timing and all that kind of thing. But, yeah, there's definitely been talk about it and it could happen. My mum will be beside herself if it happens.

"That's the thing about this business – amazing opportunities come along, so who knows?"

It's not just a possible soap stint that us got us excited, as Rachel also teased a potential S Club reunion. Again.

"The hardcore fans want a 20-year reunion and I could see that happening," Rachel said. "It will be something we'll have to talk about.

"It was so fun when we did the reunion tour a few years ago, it was absolutely brilliant and it was so lovely to see everyone again."

EastEnders continues tonight (August 14) at 8pm on BBC One.
