Skinner denies ode to Stevens

The Streets rapper Mike Skinner insists British pop star Rachel Stevens was not the inspiration behind lusty ode Fit But You Know It, ending two years of frenzied tabloid gossip.

The hip-hop outfit recorded the track in 2004 and sparked furious rumours the amorous lyrics were directed at the former S Club 7 singer when Skinner named her in a drunken off-the-record interrogation.
