23 years young today!! 07/05/97 the day that changed our lives forever, the good the bad and the ugly! And I wouldn’t change any of it for the world. Being in Steps has shaped my whole life more than I ever could have imagined when I was 19 years old and we were starting our adventure. Ultimately I have my husband @reecehill1 and my two babies because of steps so I will be forever grateful that I didn’t chicken out of the audition at bourne hall in Ewell on the 7th of May 1997! Happy thursday everyone! ? @officialsteps @fayetozersmith @llatchfordevans @ianhwatkins @lisascottlee1 @fascinationmanagement #pop #music #group #love #anniversary #5678 ?
