Remember the Steptacular arena tour starts today! Tickets go on sale tomorrow for the gigs at London’s Hyde Park and Cardiff Castle. If you are off to them you will have to tell me what they were like, because unless I get extremely lucky I won’t be going. Here are some news snippets, thanks to everyone who has sent them in!

Both the new issues of Top Of The Pops and Smash Hits contain features on Steps. TOTP magazine contains an interview with H and Lisa, along with other pieces on Steps. There is also a poster of Claire. In Smash Hits, Lee answers some of your questions and as with TOTP there are other small pieces on Steps.

If you were planning to go to the Super Soccer Six tournament in aid of Capital FM’s Help A London Child you can ring this number 0870 848 3333.

Remember, those of you in the US can view the BRITS 2000 ceremony on VH1 tonight at 8pm ET.

In the Netherlands there will be a special on Steps this Saturday (6 May). It will be shown on the TV programme ‘Post op Zaterdag’ and will begin at 18:00 on TMF. Thanks to Roy for this.
