'Sexy' Stevens upsets boyfriend

Rachel Stevens' sexy new image has got the thumbs-down from boyfriend Jeremy Edwards. The former S Club star has posed for a series of raunchy photoshoots since launching her solo career.

But Edwards said he was unhappy with her choice of skimpy outfits.
"I just don't think it's necessary," he told Now magazine. "The other day I opened The Sun and saw Rachel there with all her boobs pushed up and I wasn't comfortable with it.

"It seems that the easiest way for a young girl to sell records is to get her kit off and get herself in the tabloids, but I think there's a danger of being known for that instead of your talent.

"Rachel's a really good singer and I worry that her image will overshadow that. But the suits seem to think that they know what they're doing, so we just have to go along with it."

Stevens, 25, recently posed in a see-through basque to promote her latest single, Funky Dory. And she has worn a string of revealing outfits for magazine covers and billboard ads.

The couple are back together after a brief split this summer but former Holby City star Edwards, 32, said their engagement is definitely off.

"I've never really seen myself being married much before I was 35 because I am incredibly immature, moody, difficult and selfish. So, to be honest, until I've grown up a bit, it'd be a complete waste of time," he said.

The actor, soon to star in a West End production of Les Liaisons Dangereuses, said he is keen to start a family but Stevens wants to concentrate on her career.
