Former S Club 7 star Hannah Spearritt has stunned fans this week after announcing on Twitter that she’s had another baby.

Hannah is already mum to two-year-old Taya with her partner Adam Thomas but surprised followers by revealing they’d welcomed a second daughter earlier this year, who they named Tora.

Hannah wrote on the social media site, "SURPRISE! We are pleased to announce we recently welcomed baby number two”.

She then directed followers to the link in her bio where the second-time parents shared all the details of their undercover pregnancy.

“We always wanted more than one so it made sense to have another one as quickly as possible,” she told Hello! magazine. “We have been lucky, we’ve had a lot of help, which has been absolutely wonderful.

Paul Cattermole then

Back in the late '90s/early '00s, Paul was the absolute heartthrob of the band. The combination of the piercings, that Reach middle eight and those oh-so-trendy bucket hats he used to wear catapulted him into proper POPSTAR CRUSH territory.

After admitting he's now strapped for cash, Paul recently tried to flog his old BRIT Awards for S Club 7's work on eBay. In 2019, he appeared on First Dates Hotel, although not the celeb version, and said, "I ended up being in the group for five years six years. "I did leave before the end, I was feeling like I was losing myself and I wasn't very happy at all. I had the balls to say, 'guys I've got to go,' but not one of them said stay."Paul returned to social media earlier this year after a yearlong break and surprised fans with his long natural grey hair and beard.

Rachel Stevens then

Ugh, wasn't she just perfect? That poker-straight, sunkissed hair. The flawless skin. Her mad sick Miami 7 acting skills. There was nobody we wanted to trade places with more (till Hannah started dating our OG bae Paul, obviously.)

Since the S Club days Rachel's experienced the most solo success (Sweet Dreams My LA Ex and the criminally-underrated Come and Get It album, anyone?) She's also enjoyed stints on Strictly Come Dancing, The X Factor New Zealand and The Voice of Ireland.Earlier this year, it was announced that Rachel will be competing on the 2022 series of Dancing On Ice alongside the likes of Love Island's Liberty Poole, former Strictly pro Brendan Cole and Corrie's Sally Dynevor.

AKA Paul's ex-girlfriend AKA the human we were most jealous of ever. Literally. The moment that relationship was as good as announced with a kiss on Hollywood 7, we ripped up our S Club posters. Before asking our dad to buy that issue of Smash Hits again.

Hannah went down the telly route post-pop career. Her most notable role was Abby Maitland in Primeval; with her since joining the cast of EastEnders briefly. She's now mum to daughters Téa, two and new baby Tora.

Jon Lee then

Who could forget the iconic blonde curtains, tbh? That's PEAK '90s popstar aesthetic, right there.

Since his S Club days, Jon's made quite the name for himself in musical theatre. But forget his roles in the West End productions of Les Mis and Jersey Boys; it's got to be his appearance on ITVBe's Dinner Date he's best known for. A classic. Also - has he just not aged, or something?According to Jon, his youthful looks are down to vegetarian diet, active lifestyle and love of yoga.

Bradley McIntosh then

If we're all completely honest with ourselves, Miami 7 was all about Bradley. Someone hand the lad a belated Oscar.

Bradley's still very much in the music industry and continues to represent the brand in S Club 3; touring student unions and stuff alongside Jo O'Meara and Tina Barrett. Oh, and he was put into a group called Upper Street alongside Dane Bowers (Another Level), Jimmy Constable (911) and Danny Wood (New Kids on the Block) for MTV's Totally Boyband back in 2006. That one didn't quite work out, though. More recently, he's promised new music with his former bandmate Tina Barrett. We can't wait. Outside of music, business owner Brad runs Citiboy Entertainment and is director of a company called Yoghurt Media.

Tina Barrett then

Tina was the 'choreographer' of the group back in their CBBC days and famously wore that dress to the premiere of S Club's Seeing Double movie in 2003.

Tina went pretty quiet after S Club disbanded (boo!) but welcomed a baby in 2016 with her then boyfriend Paul Cashmore (Cashmore, people, not Cattermole!), a son who they named Roman. Sadly, Tina and Paul have since split and she opened up about the heartbreaking split earlier this year, admitting, "Walking away from our relationship was so hard, it felt like my whole world caved in."Last year, she began working on new music with Bradley McIntosh.

Jo O'Meara then

Jo was undoubtedly the voice of the band (and consequently took lead vocals) back in the day. She also notably had 'the flow,' whatever tf that means.

Jo's solo material - including debut single What Hurts the Most (same as the Cascada song) - didn't quite live up to expectations and flopped, unfortunately. She's recently completed a solo album after quitting S Club 3, and is making waves on TikTok, after a controversial Celebrity Big Brother appearance in 2007 and filing for bankruptcy in 2014.During the pandemic, Jo supported healthcare workers by singing songs they requested. She also recently relaunched her solo career with new single Sweet Surrender.

“[Her big sister] has been really good with her, really gentle,” said Hannah, and Adam interjected, “There’s no jealousy yet. She’s too busy trying to get what she wants.”

And speaking of their unusual names she added, "Once Taya was called Taya I think we had found our vibe and flow! [Tora] means Tiger, and goddess and thunder, the female of Thor."

Following the birth of her first child, Hannah – who once dated her S Club band mate Paul Cattermolerevealed she wasn’t breastfeeding because of a previous boob joband said, "It’s been a tricky area. It’s been a decision that hasn’t been taken lightly but the complications that I had and the amount of toxins in my body it’s been better not to breastfeed.

“It’s sad, but it is what it is. She is great at feeding with her bottle and it also means Adam can help out."
