At the age of nineteen, Stevens accompanied her brother to an audition in London for a new pop group, which was being put together by Simon Fuller, the one-time manager of the Spice Girls.

After a successful audition, Stevens became a member of the British pop group S Club 7, which were a BRIT Award-winning English pop group created by former Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller. The group rose to fame via their own BBC television programme and by selling 16 million records worldwide and launching four number one hit singles in the United Kingdom. S Club disbanded in 2003.

In December 2007 it was announced that Stevens will be transformed into a nine-inch high plasticine character for Glendogie Bogey, a new animated comedy for BBC Scotland.

It is rumoured Stevens has been short-listed for the Untitled 4th Austin Powers Movie alongside Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton and Nicolette Sheridan.

On Valentine's Day in 2002, Stevens became engaged to her longtime boyfriend, actor Jeremy Edwards. The couple broke up in early 2004 after they had been dating for over three years.
