Just reading back over some of these posts (how did I not know this was here?!) and I’ve got a few observations.
I’ve been a huge Steps fan for years and I’ve met them a few times.
Faye is lovely. I’m from the North East and I know people who know her and they all say the same, she’s really lovely and genuine.
Lisa is lovely too, or she comes across as lovely. When I met them at the signing I went to, I was moving slowly as I was stiff and sore from sitting in my wheelchair for ages waiting for them. Lisa seemed genuinely concerned and apologetic that I had been kept waiting for them.
I’ve never liked Claire, I think she’s a bit full of herself. I seem to recall her husband is from somewhere near where I live and my hubby knows of him. Says he’s an utter tit. They make a good pair then
Lee. Oh blimey where do I start there.
I’ve been hopelessly in love with Lee from the start. The general consensus was that Lee was only ever in the group because of what he looked like; he was never allowed to sing on anything. The ironic thing is that he has a good voice- but he was the ‘eye candy’ for the girls and gay men. He always denied that this was a problem but from those in the know he had a massive chip on his shoulder about it.
When I first met them, I took along something for him to sign. I was living in Liverpool when I got into them and I went to the Everton shop and bought that season’s shirt and had his name put on the back as he’s a big Everton fan. I cherished that shirt, mainly as it was the only thing I managed to save from my abusive ex. Lee was really chuffed to see the shirt and was really sweet when I told him the full story as he signed it (because a 2001 Everton top is a bit of a random thing to have signed)
I wore it when I went to see him in panto in St Helen’s a few years later and he was really funny with me. He kept the signature wasn’t his as he didn’t remember signing my shirt and he would have remembered. I showed him the photo I had of him signing the shirt and let him look properly at the shirt and he just went ‘oh yeah. That is me’ No apology for being arsey or anything. When I met him at the signing in Leicester he could barely bring himself to say hello which I was really disappointed at- he’s obviously my favourite but it was just like he couldn’t be bothered. I was literally first through so I dread to think what he was like with those further back!
I’ve met H a few times and he’s mostly been fine, but he was really arsey when Lee was signing my shirt. It seems he doesn’t like others being the centre of attention. When I met them in Leicester I was wearing a t-shirt with rainbow sequins on it spelling out ‘love’ and he absolutely loved it. He was really lovely then, I don’t know if I’ve been blocked by him though- I haven’t lookedEdit- I haven’t

Like no, your real outrage there should be at the record label clearly taking advantage of young women by low-balling them in contract negotiations, as does our culture of not discussing salaries for fear of being 'rude' which only benefits the company in hiding pay gaps. (Not to mention
