Rachel Stevens will finally get to make her skating debut on Dancing On Ice.
The S Club 7 star missed making her first appearance on the ITV skating show last weekend after suffering an injury.
Rachel, 43, sustained the injury last month which prevented her from joining the second batch of celebrities but will finally take to the ice alongside her professional partner Brendyn Hatfield on Sunday where they will skate to a track from Moulin Rouge by Patti LaBelle.
The singer shot to fame as one-fifth of pop group S Club 7 in the late nineties, created by former Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller.

The group - consisting of Rachel, Bradley McIntosh, Hannah Spearritt, Jo O'Meara, Jon Lee, Paul Cattermole, and Tina Barrett, went on to have hits with Reach, Never Had a Dream Come True, Don't Stop Movin', and Bring It All Back, starred in multiple television series and films based on the band.
But speaking to The Sun earlier this month, Rachel, who was 19 when the band started, revealed she still has therapy to cope with her time in S Club 7.
She said: "You just kind of push it down and get on with it and suck it up. And that does take a bit of a toll.
"I’ve spent a lot of time trying to learn to undo that. It’s something I have to work on every day. I still speak to a therapist. That really helps."
And one person who has been in her corner through it all is childhood sweetheart, Alex Bourne.
The pair first met and dated when Rachel was just 12, but drifted apart during their teenage years and split, the Mirror reports.
However, they rekindled their romance after meeting again several years later.
The pair married in a lavish Jewish ceremony in 2009 and celebrated their 12 year anniversary in 2021.
Rachel previously said on ITV's Loose Women: "We were boyfriend and girlfriend when we were 12. We were boyfriend and girlfriend on and off during our teens until I got into the band, and he went off and did his stuff.
"Then we bumped into each other randomly in our late twenties, and at that point I'd sworn off men, but it was really lovely to see him. But I was going off to LA at the time, so no, but then we reconnected. We obviously had all of that history and now, the rest is history."
In May 2010 the couple revealed they were expecting their first child, a girl named Amelie and daughter Minnie arrived four years later.
Rachel rarely shares photos of her children on social media but made an exception last year in a Father's Day tribute to Alex.
The family posed for a couple of sweet snaps on the sofa in their family home with Rachel writing: "Happy Father’s Day to the best daddy our girls could wish for.
"We love you @alexleebourne."
Before rekindling her romance with Alex, Rachel dated former Hollyoaks and Holby City star Jeremy Edwards.
The pair got engaged after 18 months together when he popped the question on Valentine's Day 2002 at The Dorchester.
However, the pair parted ways for good in 2004, with Jeremey previously telling Heat that Rachel got "caught up" in his "mess" after he turned to alcohol following the tragic death of his Holby co-star, Laura Sadler.
As for Rachel's career, after S Club's split, she gave a solo career a go and released her debut solo album, Funky Dory in September 2003.
One of the album's singles, Sweet Dreams My LA Ex, peaked at number two in the UK but her second album peaked at 28 in the charts and plans for a third were reportedly axed.
Rachel then disappeared from the public eye for a few years, until 2008 when she appeared on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing.
She was partnered with Vincent Simone and the pair came second.
Since then, Rachel has launched her own lifestyle brand and is regularly sharing cool fashion shots to her Instagram page.
