S Club 7 star Paul Cattermole dances in the woods

Paul Cattermole was photographed walking in the countryside on Wednesday.

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

The 46-year-old singer not only hopped along, but also loved to throw stones that he picked up from the roadside.

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

He completed the look with blue-tinted sunglasses and colorful sneakers.

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

The former couple, who first dated in 2001, secretly met for coffee in January, where they agreed to put the past behind them in anticipation of the upcoming reunion tour, marking the band’s 25th anniversary. group.

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

But the exes struggled to come to terms 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 a loss of income after becoming the first member of S Club to leave the band in 2002, saying he felt Hannah “prioritised her career” over their relationship.

A source revealed: “Hannah and Paul met in January to resolve their issues after years of dispute.

“They have settled their differences and are now on good terms for the first time since they can remember.

“The whole group is doing the reunion tour and it was important for them to move on so no one was uncomfortable.

“Everyone wants this to be a time for everyone involved to relive the magic and make great memories.”

In February, S Club 7 announced that they will be reuniting 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 won’t just remember S Club for their music, as the band, which includes Rachel Stevens, 44, Tina Barrett, 46, Jon Lee, 40, Bradley McIntosh, 41, and Jo O’Meara, 43, also played 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 leaving the group citing “creative differences.”

He had a rough road after he left the band, went bankrupt in 2015 and even put his Brit Award up for sale on eBay with the words, “There are bills to pay.”

He then appeared on Loose Women in 2018 where he admitted that 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 quietly let down, sobbed for the camera and asked for a “moment” to pull herself together.

Hannah and Paul’s friendship predates the formation of the group in the 1990s, after they became friends at the National Youth Music Theater in their teens.

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

The S Club 7 reunion tour was conceived by music mogul Simon Fuller, who originally put them together in 1998, after the Spice Girls, his former band, fired him as their manager.

A reunion for the 25th anniversary tour is said to be lucrative for both Simon and the band, who have all gone in different directions since their split in 2003.

Rachel Stevens went on to pursue a solo music career and came second on Strictly Come Dancing in 2008.

Hannah, who is mother to daughters Tora and Taya, enjoyed an acting career, appearing in BBC One soap opera EastEnders and British drama Primeval, among others.

In 2021, Paul launched a new YouTube channel called Tarot Me This where he called on fans to make a donation in exchange for a reading, explaining that “clairvoyance” was his new job.
