He referred to the singer as the sexiest woman in the world.
Ben Foden has spoken out after those Rachel Stevens comments.
Earlier in the week, the sportsman mentioned how Rachel was the "sexiest woman in the world", which caused some controversy.
The Dancing On Ice contestants were speaking at a press conference when Foden made the comment.
His remark comes just after his
wife Jackie said it isn't possible for him to cheat on her.
Foden clarified the comments on Instagram this morning.
He said, "Just want to address something the red tops have been printing today about me referring to Rachel [Stevens] as the sexiest woman in the world.”
“We were in an interview, and someone asked Rachel, ‘how do you carry around the weight of being the sexiest woman in the world? voted by FHM in 2005 or whatever.”
“And then, later on, another reporter asked Rachel ‘what do you have over other competitors in the competition?’ And obviously, Rachel was very respectful and modest, and I threw in at the end ‘oh don’t forget you’re the sexiest woman in the world.'”
Foden said he should stop doing press because he always puts his foot in his mouth.
He apologised to his fellow Dancing On Ice star, "Sorry Rach – my foot in my mouth as usual.”
"Jackie is my sexiest woman in the world, she gets my vote every time," he said.
Jackie told OK! that Ben has never made her feel paranoid or insecure.
"I think you just know, deep down, when that could happen and it's not a possibility with us, so I'm not concerned."
"I don't have any worries," Jackie added.
