S Club’s Rachel Stevens beams while Jo O’Meara and Bradley McIntosh share a giggle as they leave TV studio – after Hannah Spearritt moved tell-all book release to clash with band’s tour

S Club looked in good spirits as they left a TV studio after an appearance on BBC Breakfast on Friday.

As Rachel Stevens stepped out with her luggage with a beaming smile, bandmates Jo O’Meara and Bradley McIntosh giggled as they walked side by side.

The group seemed to be in good spirits despite the recent news that former group member Hannah Spearritt had rescheduled her tell-all book release to clash with the band’s upcoming comeback tour.

Rachel looked elegant in a white ruffled top with blue jeans, and completed her look with a tan handbag and matching shoes.

Jo also opted for a white top and jeans look, pairing her ensemble with white sneakers, while Bradley kept it casual in a taupe top and black shorts.

The duo were seen walking together, with Bradley pulling a black suitcase behind him.

Meanwhile, Tina Barratt was typically chic in a white ruffled top paired with a black denim shirt with thigh slits as she walked out of the studio with her luggage.

The S Club appearance comes after Hannah, who suddenly left the band earlier this year, pushed back the release date of her new book to coincide with the start of the S Club reunion tour.

Her book, titled Facing The Music, was due to be released the week of October 2, but will now hit shelves on October 12 – the same day Bradley McIntosh, Jo O’Meara, Jon Lee and Tina Barrett take the stage.

A source told The sun: ‘Hannah’s book is full of explosive claims about her time in S Club and what exactly happened when she left the reunion tour.

‘It won’t be a pleasant reading experience for the group and it feels like Hannah is trying to overshadow the tour.

“Things can get really messy.”

Hannah – who has reportedly signed up for Dancing On Ice – unexpectedly left S Club in May, after the shocking death of her ex-boyfriend and bandmate Paul Cattermole.

The other members of the group decided to rename S Club 7 to simply S Club and continue as a five-piece.

In a video on Instagram, Jon said: ‘You’ve probably noticed there’s only five of us here today, and while Hannah will always be part of S Club 7, she won’t be joining us on this tour. We wish her all the best for the future.’

It has been reported that Hannah and the other members of the group are no longer speaking to each other, amid claims from insiders that she felt ‘betrayed’ by a row over contracts for the band’s upcoming tour.

Hannah was reportedly unaware she was joining the tour until post and was about to sign her contract before she was ‘caught off guard’ by the launch.

It is thought that Hannah has now signed a contract. But sources close to the star say she felt ‘betrayed’ after being banned from the tour and they fear the ‘bad blood’ between her and the group means there is ‘little to no chance’ she will appear, according to The sun.

Romance: Hannah and Paul dated from 2001 before splitting in 2006, with the pair rekindling their romance in 2015 before eventually going their separate ways just months later (pictured 2004)

The source added: “Hannah is devastated. She was pushed out and doesn’t understand why. The rest of the S Club has been told not to contact her.”

The insider claims that Hannah “really wanted to be part of the tour” but “backed off on a few details” before signing her contract, while the other band members “said yes to everything” and signed immediately.

They add that she was subsequently ‘thrown out’ after a series of disagreements with S Club creator Simon Fuller and that the rest of the band now ‘don’t even talk to her’.

S Club representatives have confirmed that Hannah has not spoken to the rest of the band.
