However Rebecca has opened up about her secret heartache in the early days of her career, and how more will be revealed in a documentary she is making about the pop music industry.
Taking aim at unspecified big wigs, she tweeted on Sunday: “You will see more in my documentary… but these people forced me to work through a miscarriage despite me pleading to them that I was too ill to work and needed to rest!
“They need to be stopped! Exploitation at its absolute worst! modern-day slavery!
“For those who say you knew what you were getting into! I almost died promoting music for you all to listen to!

“I lost a baby whilst promoting music for you all to listen to! Nope definitely did not! ever! In a million years sign up for that! Stop defending abusers!”
The Sun Online has contacted Rebecca’s representative for comment.
Rebecca didn’t hold back as she continued in her tweets: “Forcing Artists to sign to a management company who they have never met! Is exploitation, giving an artist an accountant and solicitor that is not of their own choosing is exploitation!
“Taking artists out of ‘circulation’ and refusing to allow them to work because you have had your financial use of them is exploitation! It is modern-day slavery! FACT!”

She added: “I don’t care who your friends are in high places who quite clearly refuse to call you out for your actions in case they are financially disconnected! Get new friends!
“I am here to tell you you are wrong and what you have done is abuse and exploitation!”
Rebecca then tweeted that her documentary planned to expose the truth before adding: “However, as you taught me through your own ruthlessness that’s showbiz!!

“And for all of you saying they will bury your story and ruin you because money is power! No, my dears power is power! Truth and receipts and evidence and emails and medical records and police records is POWER!”
She concluded: “‘I am all grown up now what you ‘All’ did to that young innocent girl is unforgivable!
“However, that young girl is now a woman and this woman is going to make sure that you ‘ALL’ never abuse another artist ever again!”
Her tweets come after she demanded a parliamentary inquiry into the music industry.
