Dancing On Ice’s Rachel Stevens stuns at premiere after daughter, ‘found her career’ as she lands West End role
DANCING On Ice star Rachel Stevens looked sensational in a black off-the-shoulder gown at Sky TV's And Just Like That screening at The Bvlgari Hotel Knightsbridge, after revealing her daughter Amelie has landed her first role in the West End.
The 44-year-old singer - who shot to fame in pop group S Club 7 - turned heads said her eldest child has "found her career".
Following in her mum's footsteps, Amelie will be starring in the adaptation of Victor Hugo's 1862 novel of the same name, Les Misérables.
Rachel told the MailOnline that she "couldn't stop bawling" and her "heart was pounding" while watching the talented youngster perform for the first time and will use her own industry experience to "guide her" as a mentor.
The Reach songstress said that they are a musical family - with Amelie being a keen singer and performer just like her mum.
"I'm always singing, always, and so are my kids. We're in a very musical house and my daughter is definitely following in my footsteps," Rachel said.
"I'd help her in terms of being there for advice and to guide her for sure, but it's a very different world now, music is like a whole different industry to when I was in it.
"She's actually in a show at the moment in the West End so she's already starting her journey and I'm so proud of her. She's loving it so much and she's found her career.

'Knocked my confidence'
It comes after Rachel revealed just how risky Dancing On Ice is after she suffered a series of painful accidents.
Comparing her experience on Strictly Come Dancing, where she finished in second place in 2008, the 43 year-old reveals: "Dancing on Ice is definitely harder, oh my God, yes. It's really, really hard. Ice skating is a whole other level.
"It's such a fine line between pushing yourself to go for it and pushing past that fear barrier of falling and potentially hurting yourself, but also being safe at the same time. It's such a fine line, and there is no control at all."
Rachel was forced to miss the first week of live skating this series after injuring her wrist during skating practice.
She admitted that the injury "knocked her confidence" and she was voted out two weeks later.
The former lads mag pin-up explains: "It was really disappointing to go out in week three. Having the injury really knocked my confidence but at the same time it's all a learning curve. I love a challenge and I really wanted to go as far as I could."
