He won&#8217;t remember this, but we were all on a Smash Hits tour and staying in the same hotel. I was in love with Peter, I really was,&#8221; she says smiling. &#8220;He was my secret crush. But he was a few years older than me, so he probably thought I was just a kid.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I used to wait backstage for him and hope he&#8217;d notice me, but he never did. In those days, I always wore a crop top and combat trousers. One day, I bumped into him in the corridor and he just bent down, gave me a little peck on my tummy and walked off.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Years later, the &#8216;Stomp&#8217; hitmaker didn&#8217;t have the guts to remind Peter of their encounter.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe added: &#8220;During the filming of &#8216;Cooking With The Stars&#8217;, we had some time to catch up and talk about the old days &#8211; but I didn&#8217;t have the heart or the courage to remind him of that kiss!&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>\nClaire &#8211; who released her second solo album &#8216;Euphoria&#8217; in August &#8211; previously recalled how Steps were forced to re-wear the same stinky clothes every night on tour back in the &#8217;90s.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe singer &#8211; who is joined by Faye Tozer, Ian &#8216;H&#8217; Watkins, Lisa Scott-Lee and Lee Latchford-Evans in the &#8216;5,6,7,8&#8217; group &#8211; recalled their broke days and not having the luxury of having someone to clean their stage outfits.<\/p>\n<p>\nAppearing on the &#8216;Scrummy Mummies&#8217; podcast, Claire recalled: \u201cWe didn\u2019t have anyone to wash our clothes in the early days.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe\u2019d do three shows a day. My outfit was a red mesh top, long sleeves and red PVC trousers.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cYou can\u2019t wash those. I mean, you can sponge them.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cAnd even on mesh it doesn\u2019t matter how many times you wash it, you can never quite clean it.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe had to wear that for months because the record company would not buy us another outfit.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI think I even wore it in our first video.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s enough to make me retch, even now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/steps-star-claire-richards-recalls-kissed-belly-crush-peter-andre-1385782.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>24 September 2023 Claire Richards has recalled the moment her &#8220;secret crush&#8221; Peter Andre &#8220;gave me a little peck on my tummy&#8221;.
