S Club 7 star Paul Cattermole dances in the woods

Paul Cattermole was pictured heading out for a stroll in the countryside on Wednesday. 

The S Club 7 star – who recently made amends with his ex-girlfriend and bandmate Hannah Spearritt ahead of their band’s reunion tour – beamed as he danced along the path. 

As well as skipping along, the 46-year-old singer took great delight in throwing stones that he’d picked up from the verge. 

Dressed casually for his forest outing, Paul teamed a black jacket and trousers with a fitted T-shirt. 

He finished off the look with a pair of blue tinted sunglasses and colourful trainers.

The outing comes after MailOnline revealed that Paul had made amends with his ex-girlfriend following a seven-year feud.  

The former couple, who first dated back in 2001, secretly met for a coffee in January where they agreed to put the past behind them ahead of the upcoming reunion tour, which is to mark the group’s 25-year anniversary.

Hannah, 41, and Paul were in a relationship for five years before splitting in 2006, rekindling their romance for the last time in 2015.

But the exes struggled to see eye to eye over the years after Paul accused Hannah of ‘replacing’ him with Primeval actor Andrew-Lee Potts, who she dated while starring in the drama.

Paul also claimed to suffer loss of earnings after becoming the first member of S Club to leave the band in 2002, and said he felt Hannah ‘prioritised her career’ over their relationship.

A source revealed: ‘Hannah and Paul met in January to resolve their issues following years of disputes.

‘They have sorted out their differences and are even on good terms now for the first time since they can remember.

‘The whole group are doing the reunion tour and it was important for them to move forward so no one felt awkward.

‘Everyone wants this to be a time for all involved to relive the magic and make great memories.’

In February, S Club 7 announced they will reunite for an 11-date tour of the UK and Ireland, performing classics such as Reach, Bring It All Back, and Never Had A Dream Come true.

Fans of the group will not only remember S Club for their music after the band including Rachel Stevens, 44, Tina Barrett, 46, Jon Lee, 40, Bradley McIntosh, 41, and Jo O’Meara, 43, also starred in their very own BBC series Miami 7 and LA 7.

In 2002, Paul sent shockwaves through S Club 7’s global fanbase when he spectacularly announced he was quitting the group citing ‘creative differences’. 

He had a rocky road after leaving the band, becoming bankrupt in 2015 and even putting his Brit Award up for sale on eBay saying: ‘There’s bills to pay’. 

He then appeared on Loose Women in 2018 where he admitted he had run out of money and had to borrow a shirt for the show. 

In 2019 Paul made an emotional appearance on the dating show First Dates Hotel.

The star went on a date with music lover Anna but after being let down gently, sobbed on camera and asked for a ‘moment’ to pull himself together.

Hannah and Paul’s friendship predates the creation of the noughties group after they became friends in their teens at the National Youth Music Theatre.

They first kept their romance private with Paul later revealing he would sneak to and from Hannah’s house in the early hours of the morning to avoid being spotted by fans.

The S Club 7 reunion tour has been masterminded by music mogul Simon Fuller, who originally put them together in 1998, after the Spice Girls, his previous band, sacked him as their manager.

Reuniting for the 25th anniversary tour will reportedly be lucrative for Simon as well as the band, who have all gone in different directions since their split in 2003.

Rachel Stevens went onto have a solo music career and came runner up on Strictly Come Dancing in 2008. 

Hannah, who’s a mum to daughters Tora and Taya, enjoyed an acting career, performing on the likes of BBC One soap EastEnders and Brit drama Primeval.

In 2021, Paul launched a new YouTube channel called Tarot Me This, where he called upon fans to make a donation in exchange for a reading, explaining ‘clairvoyance’ was his new line of work.
