S Club 7 star Hannah Spearritt is moving on from a "traumatic" year following the tragic death of Paul Cattermole and her own health battle. Hannah, 42 already has big plans for next year as she's confirmed to take part in Dancing on Ice. But before she shows off her skills on the ice is spending a magical Christmas with her fiancé Adam Thomas, 43 and their two daughters Tora, three, and Taya, five.
"This will be the first time both girls are fully aware of Christmas and they’re super excited and bouncing off one another.
They’re at an age where they’re taking it all in and it’s so nice for us, as adults, to see Christmas through their eyes and experience the magic again", Hannah told Hello! The pop star went on to share that 2023 had been a "tough and challenging year". In April, S Club 7 bandmate and Hannah's "first love" Paul Cattermole, 46, suddenly died from heart complications. His tragic death came as the band were planning their reunion tour to mark their 25th anniversary.
Hannah and Paul had known each other since they were teenagers and were in a relationship for five years from around 2001. Following the news, Hannah decided to pull out from the S Club 7 tour, while the remaining band members, Rachel Stevens, Tina Barrett, Jon Lee, Bradley McIntosh and Jo O’Meara took to the stage in October. Opening up about the year, Hannah told the publisher: "It's been a tough and challenging year, and things happened which were quite traumatic." The 42 year old, who recently published her autobiography, Facing the Music, added: "It wasn’t easy to look back at my life while I was grieving, and I wondered if it was right to carry on writing.
