Unfortunately, we have some sad news to break: S Club 7’s Paul Cattermole has made a bombshell claim, saying his relationship with Hannah Spearritt was written into their Hollywood 7 TV show. (Yes, we are now doubting whether true love actually exists.)
In an interview with the Guardian’s G2 supplement, Cattermole says that their romance ‘did not happen organically’ and was ‘written into the Hollywood 7 show’ ... 'because of that, it just happened.’ Asked if TV bosses forced him into the relationship, he added, ‘Yeah, but like I say, it didn’t feel like that because I had totally grown into the idea, quite quickly. I thought she was great.’
This isn’t the first time Cattermole has spoken about their (what he’s now claiming to be a somewhat coerced) relationship. In 2017, he told The Sun on Sunday that he believed he was dumped because Hannah’s agent convinced her she needed an actor boyfriend, as the split happened after she flew to the US to try her hand at acting. He said at the time, ‘I very much felt she thought she needed to prioritise her career. I'm betting she was told, “So your current boyfriend is doing music stuff. Well, that's great, but you really need an actor boyfriend.”’
Anyway, hopefully Cattermole, who is now 42, will soon find love, as he will be making a cameo on Celebrity First Dates Hotel.
