Hannah Spearritt, known for her time in the popular band S Club 7, has made her first public appearance since the untimely passing of her ex-boyfriend and former bandmate, Paul Cattermole. The 42-year-old pop star displayed strength as she embarked on a family outing to the newly opened World of Jumanji in Chessington World of Adventures on Saturday. Accompanied by her partner, Adam Thomas, and their two young daughters, Taya and Tora, Hannah faced the public after weeks of grieving.

The devastating news of Paul’s death at the age of 46 on April 6 coincided with the announcement of S Club’s reunion and upcoming tour. While the cause of Paul’s passing has yet to be disclosed, authorities in Dorset, where he was found at home, have stated that there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death.

Upon hearing the tragic news, Hannah, who had rekindled her friendship with Paul, was said to have broken down and become inconsolable. The loss struck deep as the band was preparing to embark on their comeback tour. A close source revealed Hannah’s devastation, stating that she was struggling to come to terms with the fact that Paul was no longer with them. The entire band was left shattered by the sudden turn of events.

In the wake of Paul’s unexpected demise, S Club, now known as S, dropped the number 7 from their name as a tribute to their fallen bandmate. They released a joint statement expressing their profound sadness and describing the immense void Paul’s absence has left. They requested privacy for both Paul’s family and the band during this difficult time.

Despite the tragedy, the band has decided to proceed with their reunion tour scheduled for later this year, commencing in October. Hannah, reminiscing about her past with Paul, referred to him as her “first true love” and recounted the blissful moments they shared during the filming of the band’s spin-off show, Miami 7, in the United States. Their relationship, she described, was akin to a never-ending honeymoon, filled with romantic gestures such as impromptu guitar serenades and drives to witness breathtaking sunsets.

Hannah Spearritt’s appearance at Chessington World of Adventures marks a courageous step forward following the heartbreak she and the rest of S Club have endured. Their journey continues as they prepare to honor their beloved Paul through their music and carry on his legacy.
