HANNAH Spearritt opened up about an S Club 7 feud that started when she pulled out of the group’s reunion tour.
The rest of the band took to stages across the UK while celebrating their 25th anniversary, but Hannah decided not to join them after the death of her bandmate and former lover Paul Cattermole.

In an exclusive interview with the Sun she shared that her mental health deteriorated after he passed away and she started suffering from severe panic attacks.
The former pop star also found herself experiencing vertigo and feeling tired all the time, which had a negative effect on her family life.
But she says none of the other S Club 7 singers have spoken to her since she pulled out.
An emotional Hannah pondered: “Will I ever perform with them again? I just don’t know.
“I’ve not spoken to any of them since I left, which is fine.
“I was extremely excited — we all were — to get back as a seven.

“But then Paul died and everything changed. It gave me time to reflect on whether it was the right thing for me to do.
“I’m really sad we aren’t in touch. They’ve gone their way and I’ve gone mine. I wish them all the best.”
Although the whole band will have been hit hard by Paul’s death, it seems to have been the most difficult for Hannah, who had a romantic relationship with him when the pair were younger.
On top of that bond she was initially terrified he had committed suicide when she heard he was dead, due to a “deeply disturbing” email he had sent her in 2021.
She added: “I started blaming myself. I had all these things going through my head — it was all blame, blame, blame. It was horrible.
“I thought maybe he believed the email was about to come out and that perhaps I was about to share it.
“It’s not in my book and I will take it to the grave. I didn’t tell anybody about it at the time because it was pretty clear that he wasn’t very well.
“My body just couldn’t cope with everything that was happening. I wasn’t myself.
“I was getting these crippling panic attacks, was suffering from really bad vertigo and was tired all the time.”
Doctors eventually ruled that Paul had died because of various heart problems, but the mum-of-two decided the best thing for her health was to skip out on the reunion.
Although she found herself overwhelmed by the idea of performing with S Club 7 again, Hannah said she is glad the tour is happening and thankful their songs will live on.
