Rachel Stevens: Dancing puts me in the mood for sex

Strictly Come Dancing contestant says she finds ballroom so sexy

Thursday, 11 September 2008

Rachel Stevens reckons Strictly Come Dancing has boosted her love life with fiancé Alex Bourne.

The former S Club 7 star has found her fitness levels have shot up since she started training for the BBC show.

And 30-year-old Rachel has been making use of her extra energy when she gets home.

‘I've been using muscles I never knew I had, so Alex has been helping me relax with a nice massage when I get in from training,’ she says.

‘I'm so fired up when I get in. There's something very sexy about dancing. Since I started training Alex and I have been salsa dancing around the house. It gets you geared up for it!’

Rachel and Alex, 31, announced their engagement in June – but have been forced to push back the wedding because of Strictly.

‘I did think about trying to squeeze in a wedding during the show but there was just no way,’ she tells The People. ‘It will have to wait until after it has ended.’
