Rachel Stevens has revealed that the idea of reforming S Club 7 constantly lingers on the minds of the group's members.

The pop collective split in 2002 before S Club 3 launched in 2008 and talk of the original seven reuniting has regularly reared its head.

Speaking to ITV's Lorraine, Stevens said that the seven singers still keep in touch:

"We keep in touch. I haven't seen them for a while but we're always texting and tweeting and keeping in touch. It's always bubbling in the background talking about us getting back together."

Referring meanwhile to the chances of S Club 7 getting back together for the Big Reunion TV series, the singer said:

"Obviously it hasn't happened yet because I think getting seven diaries together is really difficult. Everyone's off doing their own thing, but it would be fun. I think if it was going to be, it would have to be all of us!"

Stevens was speaking just days after being named the sexiest woman in the world ever by men's magazine FHM.
