Chatting about the news, Paul reveals they were ‘in shock’ when a pregnancy test revealed a positive result, admitting: ‘We’d only been trying for three months.’

Mum-to-be Tina met Paul back in 2012 on the set of Russell Grant’s charity music video for The Clapping Song and explains: ‘Until Paul I hadn’t really met a man I wanted to have children with. 

‘I’m 40 this year so there was a part of me that was worried I might have left it too late, but thankfully that wasn’t the case.’

Back in the day: Tine alongside former pop-pals Rachel Stevens, Hannah Spearritt and Jo O'Meara

Out now: Read the full interview in the new edition of OK! Magazine, available from Tuesday 15 March

Of her former band mates’ responses to the good news, Tina tells us: ‘Jo [O’Meara] burst into tears. She’s so sweet, she couldn’t have been happier for us.’

The dancer adds: ‘I’d love for my child to be friends with Jo and Rachel’s [Stevens] children. Perhaps we could encourage them to start their own band, that would be cute!’

Admitting they talk about marriage ‘all the time’, Paul reveals: ‘Before Tina got pregnant we were considering flying to Las Vegas to tie the knot, just the two of us.’ 

His girlfriend is quick to add: ‘Things have changed now we’re having a baby – we’d want him or her to be there, so I imagine we’ll do something a bit bigger when the time comes.’ 

But Paul is keen to keep details of an impending proposal a secret, admitting: ‘I want to take Tina by surprise. She knows it’s coming, though. 

'I’d like us to be married within a year of the baby being born.’ 

Tina has kept a relatively low profile since the group parted ways back in 2003.

During her time with S Club 7, she enjoyed an impressive chart run which included four number on singles, a number one album and sold more than 15 million records worldwide.

Former S Club 7 singer Rachel Stevens has talked about her nerves at displaying her bikini body following a recent trip to the Maldives.

In an interview with MailOnline, the 37-year-old said: 'The first day in your bikini is horrible as it's the whitest day. I always think you look better with a tan.' 

The mother of Amelie, five, and Minnie, two, said she doesn't diet but consistently adopts a healthy lifestyle in order to maintain her sexy figure.

'Diets don't work. I just eat healthily little and often. And I have a hardcore trainer who puts me through my paces. I'm like anyone else. Sometimes you feel great and other times you don't. 

'I'm learning to cook. It's not my forté, but I try and balance my portion sizes.'

Rachel, who is married to husband Alex Bourne, has been busy balancing motherhood with her career and is currently a coach on The Voice Ireland.

'This year has been crazy,' she said. 'It's been nice to get away and have some quality time with the family. 

'I've felt frazzled, but it's been an amazing year, with Strictly and the S Club reunion.

'It has been really chaotic juggling it all but it works. I'm lucky in that I've got a great support network. 

Alex's parents and mine live close by which is great.'

Rachel says she really enjoyed the old bandmates getting back together for the recent reunion. 

She said: 'We're like old friends. We're older now. We don't sweat the small stuff and we're a bit more grown up. 

'You forget that you're part of someone's childhood and it's nice that the fans come out to see us, even though they are grown up.'

Rachel also talked about on-off lovers Hannah Spearritt and Paul Cattermole, who reportedly broke up in November last year, after rekindling their love months before.

They dated for five years before breaking up and three years ago, Hannah went on to find love with fitness instructor Adam Thomas, but they broke up when Hannah got back with Paul. 

Rachel said: 'They will probably get married. They have a special bond and they're soulmates. They're lovely as friends and they're lovely as boyfriend and girlfriend.' 

Rachel and her family enjoyed a luxury break at Atmosphere Kanifushi Maldives - the sole resort on Kanifushi Island. See www.atmosphere-kanifushi.com for more information.

S Club 7's Hannah Spearritt sheds her squeaky clean image as she poses provocatively in a semi-sheer crop top 

By HANNA FLINT FOR MAILONLINE

Hannah Spearritt will be treading the West End boards before she heads out on tour with S Club 7 for the first time in ten years.

The actress will appear in The Armour, a play by Ben Ellis that will be staged at The Langham Hotel in London this Spring.

Hannah appears in sultry shots from the play in which she looks provocatively at the camera from the comfort of one of the hotel's luxurious beds.

New role: Hannah Spearritt will appear in The Armour, a play by Ben Ellis that will be staged at The Langham Hotel in London this Spring

Audiences are invited once again to explore the glamourous surroundings of the Langham Hotel for the premiere of The Armour starring Spearritt and Finty Williams.

The cast will lead theatregoers through three interlinking stories, each performed in three separate intimate spaces within the iconic hotel.

Directed by James Hillier, The Armour focuses on events at the hotel taking place over three different time periods.

In 2015, Hannah's character Poppy is on a comeback tour after a period of self-destruction and self-doubt as her manager Franky (Thomas Craig) tries to boost her flagging confidence to get her on stage and play the gig of her life.

The next part focuses on the Seventies when the Langham was occupied by the BBC, where Simon Darwen and Siubhan Harrison play a successful couple with a growing shipping business waiting to be interviewed for a current affairs programme about their growing international shipping empire.

In the third piece of the play audiences are transported back to 1971 when the hotel first opened and Emperor Napoleon III and his wife Eugenie were seeking refuge.

Defibrillator, a theatre company run by Hillier and Stage One producer Trish Wadley, created the theatrical project having previously staged three little performed Tennessee Williams plays in Langham suites to critical acclaim.

'I'm loving working at the Langham, its well posh,' Hannah says.

'Poppy's great fun to play, she's an absolute nutcase. It's an intimate space, very up close and personal, like a tin of sardines! I'm enjoying that side of it. 

'The audience end up feeling like a fly on the wall!' 

The Amour will be playing from London's Langham Hotel from 3 March to 4 April

Reunion: S Club 7 will be touring for the first time in ten years this summer
