Rachel Stevens was every inch the proud mum as she gushed over her daughter Amelie’s singing talent in a social media post on Monday.
The 46-year-old S Club 7 star was bursting with pride as she took to her Instagram story to share a video of Amelie, 13, singing Lizzy McAlpine’s hit Ceilings, proving that she is following in her footsteps.
Rachel’s daughter wowed with an astonishing performance and her mother captioned the sweet clip with several heart emojis.
The Instagram post comes after Rachel’s ex-husband and Amelie’s father Alex Bourne married his new wife in a romantic ceremony earlier this month.
The property mogul, 47, married art dealer Lily at Lime Kiln Lodges in East SusSєx, surrounded by family and friends.
Actress Rachel announced her separation from her childhood sweetheart Alex in July 2022, just one month shy of their 13-year anniversary.

Alex and Lily got engaged last summer on Hampstead Heath after meeting earlier that year.
Rachel and Alex’s two daughters, Amelie and Minnie, nine, were in attendance at the wedding and were both bridesmaids.
The S Club icon has also found love with Dancing On Ice skater Brendyn Hatfield. Their relationship went official in November 2023 after they were first paired together on the ITV show.
She did not appear to be in attendance at the wedding.
Lily looked stunning in a bespoke lace gown in snaps shared to both of their Instagram accounts from the big day.
They penned in the caption: ‘A little more from our big day. Still on cloud ☁️ 9.’
‘Words can’t begin to describe our happiness. Thank you to all of our family and friends for being there on our special day.’
Rachel lifted the lid on their separation during an appearance on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour, comparing it to ‘jumping off a cliff.’

She admitted: ‘It’s a lot of navigating, especially with the girls because they’ve always been at the forefront.’
‘I’m very lucky, their dad is a great dad and we’ve always been so aligned with keeping them really safe in it and being really honest.’
‘We’ve had great advice on how to age-appropriately speak to them and help them feel safe in it all because that was my biggest fear – how they are going to be in all of this.’
She continued: ‘You’re changing your life. It’s not only a marriage it’s a family around it, it’s your friendship groups, your home, your children.’
‘Changing your whole life, for me it felt like jumping off a cliff, like wow, it’s the unknown.’
‘But I’ve always believed that we have to be happy, we have to be true to ourselves and it’s not something you decide overnight, it’s something that takes so much thought and questioning.’
‘I haven’t talked about it a lot publicly because I’m so mindful of everyone involved.’
The former couple were childhood sweethearts and reconnected in the mid-2000s when Rachel was launching her solo career and Alex was still trying to make it as an actor in Los Angeles.

They got engaged in June 2008 after 18 months of dating and tied the knot at Claridge’s in London the following year.
The pair walked down the aisle to S Club 7’s hit Never Had A Dream Come True and her bandmates – Bradley McIntosh, Hannah Spearritt, Jo O’Meara, Jon Lee, Paul Cattermole and Tina Barrett – were there to watch them say ‘I do’.
Discussing her new relationship with Brendyn, Rachel said: ‘We’ve just been really mindful and thoughtful of everyone involved and it was a very slow process, but when you go through growth in your life, you change and your outlook on life changes.’
‘You realise this is what I need, this is what I want, this is what I deserve. And everything is new and it all just kind of happens.’
She added: ‘It all just evolves and it’s not black and white, it’s just an amazing growth experience.’
