S Club respond to “nonsense” claims Hannah Spearritt was shut out from reunion tour
S Club have responded to the “nonsense” claims that Hannah Spearritt was shut out from the upcoming reunion tour.Earlier this year, the pop group revealed they would be reforming and releasing new music for the first time in 20 years. All seven original members – consisting of Tina Barrett, Paul Cattermole, Jon Lee, Bradley McIntosh, Jo O’Meara, Spearritt and Rachel Stevens – were set to embark on a 25th anniversary UK and Ireland arena tour in October.However, following the death of Cattermole in April, it was announced that Spearitt would not be a part of the newly renamed ‘Good Times Tour’.“You’ve probably noticed that there’s only five of us here today, and although Hannah will always be part of S Club 7 she won’t be joining us on this tour,” Lee said in an Instagram video.A post shared by S Club (@sclub)The remaining five members – now named S Club – are set to continue with the the sold-out tour, with Lee sharing that Spearritt was “always welcome” to rejoin them.According to The Sun, an anonymous source shared that Spearritt told her close friends that she was “blindsided” by the video announcement that was posted to the S Club social media accounts.In an interview on Monday (July 31) with ITV’s daytime show This Morning, S Club addressed the reports from the anonymous source.“Whenever an article starts with ‘a source said’, you can kind of take it with a pinch of salt,” Lee said.
