Before her hubby Alex, Rachel was engaged to Holby City actor Jeremy Edwards.They got engaged after 18 months together over a romantic meal at The Dorchester in 2002. At the time, Rachel shared: "I really didn't have a clue he was going to do it and am thrilled to pieces. We are both so happy." Then tragedy hit as Jeremy's co-star Laura Sadler fell 40ft to her death after watching the sunrise at her boyfriend's home in Holland Park.
She was just 22 at the time and died from head injuries she had sustained from the fall, leaving Jeremy and the rest of the cast devastated. He told the BBC at the time: "Everybody in the cast is completely devastated and is asking the same question, 'Why her?' "You couldn’t meet a sweeter, nicer, more wonderful girl. She was the kindest person and even actor friends of mine who did just one episode with her are mortified.
She was just the loveliest little thing." After her death, the star turned to drink and this then put a strain on his relationship with Rachel. He told Heat: "It was a tough time for me. After Laura's death I got really messed up.
