It’s hard to believe Steps have been around for 25 years, and as Claire Richards prepares to reunite with her bandmates to mark their milestone anniversary, she wonders where the time has gone too.
Claire was just 19 when she joined Lisa Scott-Lee, Faye Tozer, Ian ‘H’ Watkins, all now 46, and Lee Latchford-Evans, 47, to form the much-loved band in 1997. “I don’t think any of us knew or realised that it would be 25 years and we’re still going,” the 44 year old says. “It’s over half my life that I’ve been in Steps.
I’ve been in it longer than I haven’t been in it! "I can’t actually believe it’s been 25 years – that’s a long time. When you get to that point in your life and look at your career, it’s quite unbelievable because I don’t feel a day older than I did when we first started.
