Steps

[Yogarow]

Oh wow Claire had 2 husbands? I always thought she just had the one she has kids with (who was involved with steps wasn't he?) I just don't remember her talking about a divorce which I feel she definitely would. H is so fake isn't he. Always agrees with the last person he spoke to.

I thought it was pretty bland at best, nothing that countless others don't already do better. At least their old stuff is largely fun and gets people on their feet. The new stuff definitely doesn't translate well live, completely forgettable stuff.

I should also have mentioned that Sophie Ellis-Bextor was supporting them and was great fun, she seems genuinely lovely and has a great sense of humour. Looks great too.

All things aside, they were bloody great at Brighton Pride.

Oh dear

They did an interview late last year about their new album and while they were obviously in the same building, H and Lisa were in a separate room from the others which just seemed weird. Even with covid it seemed bizarre that they couldn't all be together in one room at a time when they were actually recording stuff and filming music videos. Also, no idea if its something they do every night on tour but H made a joke about Faye being on Onlyfans and she didn't sound overly happy with him but he seemed to find it hilarious.

 

[CookieZippy]

I think on the whole their new stuff is better actually.

I also went out with a boy in year 7...he's now gay. What is wrong with me?!

Feel your pain. One of my ex's is now a lesbian, and another dumped me for someone who looked like a twenty year old John Major.

Totally Scott-Lee is absolutely incredible - and that’s the tea!

It is i watched it during lockdown. Its like a spoof documentary lol. I was howling when the neighbours complained about the fireworks

 

[Rose28454]

My sisters catering company did the tours many times. I’ll ask her for any goss. I know Claire was nice and her kids are lovely.

 

[Restless Native]

I've never understood why Claire hasn't had more solo success - she's got one of the best voices out there.

She never seemed as desperate for the fame like the other members

I remember reading that article, then the husband put a quote on insta which I thought was really sad "I met you when I wasn't looking for you, and lost you when I loved you the most"

Yes it was just after her birthday, then a few days later he posted that must have come out of the blue. Although I wasn't 100% surprised, Faye never really seemed to be around at home much and didn't really go away with the hubby or son either leading up to the split, just seemed to go off with other people.

I noticed that Claire and Lisa no longer follow the hubby and vice versa. Lee and H still do and vice versa.

 

[LavaFlake]

I always get confused with this!
Was it Lisa's brother who married Michelle from Liberty X

Yeah! In Totally Scott Lee he proposes to her as if he's been dragged kicking and screaming to do so to be honest. Don't think their marriage lasted long and Michelle has since remarried

 

[MidnightAura]

It is nice to see them back. Am I the only one that can’t look at them the same after the reunion documentary? H in particular came across as such ah ass.

 

[MidnightAura]

Lee said in the original reunion he that he threatened to deck H. Not a fan of violence but I can see why he would make you feel that way.
The fact he dated the band’s manager and didn’t tell anyone for years whilst the girls noticed H getting more vocals must have bugged them because it does look like favouritism.

 

[CookieZippy]

Either Claire or Lisa had the other on block at one point which people could tell by the way it looked with their names in Instagram tagging.

 

[Sloppys]

The empty threats to the public that if this song flops she won’t release another and the public still not caring was just, everything!

the whole thing is brilliant. The whole I’m willing to work that’s why I’m doing clubs and not arenas comedy gold.

Anyone seen this?

Steps cancel 'pot of gold' gig in Dubai over 'no sexuality' clause in contract - Mirror Online

What a joke! Not EVERYTHING has to be about sex and your sexuality, get over it! Oh and there are gay ppl in dubai, some that are obviously gay, they just dont go on about it every second of the day. Jeezzz h really needs to get over himself, dubai prob realised how sh*t they are and cancelled them also lisa lives in dubai, so h throwing a strop could potentially put her livelihood and family life over tehre in jepoady, selfish idiot. Also wouldbt that be hypocritical of lisa
---

The way that he openly comes on to Lee gives me the ick. He may well be joking, but I think it is disrespectful to Lee. Leave him alone!
I remember at the end of the reunion episodes and they were around the table, and Faye said to H, “I used to really hate you but I actually quite like you now”.

Its trendy to be a narccist now so probably y she likes him

 

[MidnightAura]

I don’t think that some members like each other particularly. Faye and Claire seem close, in fairness Faye seems to be the only one who probably gets along with everyone. Think Lee is okay with Claire, Faye and Lisa but I get the vibe he finds H too much. If Lee made any of the comments H does towards him in regards to one of the girls he’d be cancelled. I still very much get the sense that Lisa and Claire don’t really get on, there’s a sort of awkward politeness between them. I totally agree the programme was forced hostility in many parts but it seemed pretty clear there was a real resentment towards Claire from Lisa particularly and it still seems to be Lisa that makes little comments about the split. I think it’s very much like a family, you love people because they’re family but there’s people you are far closer to than others.

Yeah I would agree with this. Lisa and Faye seem to get on. They admit they were the ones going out all the time partying, Claire didn’t want to. H also apparently sometimes preferred to stay at the hotel. You can see there’s resentment about vocals. Particularly from Lisa and Lee. Faye admitted she didn’t like it when H was getting pushed forward for verses and she was losing out. Which is understandable particularly as she just found out H was sleeping with their manager. It doesn’t look good. Not to mention H had Claire bound to secrecy about that. It doesn’t make for a good atmosphere.

I think it was H or Lee that said the girls weren‘t happy as early as one for sorrow when they found out Claire was singing everything. I kind of get the impression Claire was of the “Screw you, I’m singing so I’m alright Jack“ mentality.

I imagine Lee finds H if anything even more full on now he’s become so pro trans rights and seems to like wearing skirts and almost more make up than the girls. And there’s nothing wrong with that, but H looks like the type to wear something not because he wants to but more so because he can get attention.

My friend who lives in Dubai saw Lisa last night, stomp angrily into a restaurant near her house, v casual in a tracksuit and flip flops, she sat at the bar alone ordered a Prosecco drank it in 15 mins then left. Friend said she had the look of a woman who had either had a row with hubby or was sneaking a drink.

Her husband is a right minger as well. So is Claire's - he's like a less attractive Russ in Cheshire...

 

[Restless Native]

Anyone watch this back in the day? Lee was on it but he was asked to leave by the rest of the band!
