S Club 7’s Paul Cattermole dies at 46 weeks after reunion plans shared | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV

S Club 7 singer Paul Cattermole has died aged 46.

The performer was tragically found dead at his home just weeks after the band confirmed their reunion tour.

Paul has recently shared his excitement over returning to the stage alongside his bandmates later on this year, just before news of his tragic death broke.

Paul’s bandmate and ex-girlfriend Hannah Spearritt and the rest of the group were left “devastated” by the loss.

A statement on the S Club social media accounts said: “We are truly devastated by the passing of our brother Paul. There are no words to describe the deep sadness and loss we all feel. 

“We were so lucky to have had him in our lives and are thankful for the amazing memories we have.

“He will be so deeply missed by each and every one of us. We ask that you respect the privacy of his family and of the band at this time.”

Paul first met his S Club 7 bandmate Hannah, 42, when they were just teenagers at the National Youth Music Theatre.

They became an item after their romance became part of a storyline on the band’s TV show L.A 7, which aired from April to July in 2000.

In a statement announcing his death, Paul Cattermole’s family and S Club 7 said: “It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of our beloved son and brother Paul Cattermole.

“Paul was found yesterday, 6th April 2023 at his home in Dorset and was pronounced dead later that afternoon.

“While the cause of death is currently unknown, Dorset Police has confirmed that there were no suspicious circumstances. Paul’s family, friends and fellow members of S Club request privacy at this time.”
