Inside former S Club 7 stars Hannah Spearitt and Paul Cattermole’s clear-the-air talks before band’s reunion

S Club 7 exes Hannah Spearritt and Paul Cattermole had a “clear the air” meeting before the band’s reunion, The Sun can reveal.

Hannah, 42, was undecided about signing up for the October tour due to feeling awkward at being around Paul.

But band founder Simon Fuller’s team arranged the gathering — and it was understood Paul, 46, made it clear there was “nothing for her to worry about”.

A source told The Sun: “Paul assured her he had changed.

“They had not spoken for years. They will never be close, but it was important they talked.”

The pair had a secret romance when their characters got together in their L.A. 7 TV show in 2000.

They split, but reunited on tour in 2015 before breaking up again.

The new tour marks 25 years since the group first formed.
