S stands for shivering

If it was something she just threw on - she very nearly missed.

S Club singer Tina Barrett drew gasps from the crowd last night as she arrived for the premiere of her band's film, Seeing Double, in a floor-length red, barely-there gown.

The creation comprised a few wisps of chiffon held in place by gold clasps and some strategically placed sticky tape to preserve her modesty.

The dress by designer Scott Henshall guaranteed the brunette a dramatic entrance at the Warner West End cinema in Leicester Square.

But the 26-year-old admitted that the lack of material had made for a chilly evening.

"I'm so cold," said Miss Barrett. "It took me 15 minutes to get into this dress because it's so tricky to wear."

S Club were out in force for the premiere, with Hannah Speritt, 22, Jo O'Meara, 23, Rachel Stevens, 24, Jon Lee, 20, and Bradley McKintosh, 21, appearing in front of 1,500 screaming fans outside. Former band member Paul Cattermole was also there.

When asked about rumours of the band splitting, Miss Barrett said simply: "We're here for now."

Fellow member Rachel Stevens said there were no plans to break up. "We have always said we will stay together as long as our fans want us or until as a six-piece we collectively decide it is time to pursue our individual dreams," she said.

The group are currently touring the UK and there has been speculation that they will split when the tour ends.
