Dancing on Ice: Hannah Spearritt asked about Rachel Stevens
However, there appears to be some frostiness before the star even takes to the rink, as Hannah refused to comment when quizzed on Rachel. On Thursday, she appeared on Lorraine alongside a string of celebs taking part in the competition.
During the rehearsals, she spoke with Ria Hebden - who was on the show last year and starred alongside Rachel Stevens. The presenter asked Hannah if the pair had spoken.
However, Hannah immediately shut her down and said she was “focusing on herself”. Ria, 41, asked: "Rachel was on the show, have you spoken to her and got any got any tips?”
Hannah cryptically responded: “You know what I am just focusing me”, as she attempted to move the conversation on. Before adding: “I know that sounds really selfish".
The stars were close friends during their time together in S Club 7.
However, when Hannah decided not to join the pop band on their reunion tour, rumours swirled of a feud.
She bowed out of the 25th anniversary tour following the tragic death of her bandmate and ex Paul Cattermole.
Last year, it was reported that the five remaining members of S Club had distanced themselves from Hannah following a disagreement.

In July, sources claimed Hannah was stunned when she saw her bandmates announced they were hitting the road once again.
A source claimed to The Sun at the time: "Hannah is devastated. She was pushed out, and doesn't understand why.
“The rest of S Club has been told not to contact her”.
The Reach singer is likely to bump into her old bandmate on the rink thanks to her latest reality TV gig.
Rachel will be in the audience to support her pro skater boyfriend Brendyn Hatfield.
