Hannah aged 3 and 15

Early life

Hannah Louise Spearritt, the youngest of three children of Jenny and Michael Spearritt, was born on April 1st 1981 in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England. She has two siblings, Tanya and Stuart. Her career started early as at the age of three she modelled for a Mothercare catalogue. At school Hannah loved P.E. lessons and swimming, while running and tennis became her favourite hobbies. Her dream professions at that time were tennis player, fitness trainer, teacher or nurse.

At the age of 12 Hannah landed a role in a local theatre production Annie, which started her interest in performing. A year later she successfully auditioned for the National Youth Music Theatre, where she met her best friend Sheridan Smith and future band mate and boyfriend Paul Cattermole. During 1994–1995 they were a part of Pendragon performing in New York and Hong Kong.

Soon more roles followed: Tin Pan Ali in 1996, West End musical Bugsy Malone in 1997 and her first television role in The Cater Street Hangman. She also advertised holiday camps and cars (Mercedes Benz) and appeared in Blue Peter and the National Lottery Show.

S Club 7

Around 1997 and 1998 ex-Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller was in the process of creating a new pop band. He held auditions for over 10,000 candidates and one of them was Hannah. In addition to Hannah, six other members were chosen to form the new group called S Club 7: Bradley McIntosh, Jo O’Meara, Jon Lee, Paul Cattermole, Rachel Stevens and Tina Barrett. The band shot to fame with their TV series Miami 7 in 1999. The show was followed by four studio albums (‘S Club’, ‘7’, ‘Sunshine’ and ‘Seeing Double’), 11 singles, tours, many more television series and a movie Seeing Double.

In 2002 Paul decided to leave the group and they changed their name to S Club. Next April, after four succesful years, the band members decided it was time to move on and announced their split during a live performance. Jo O’Meara, Bradley McIntosh, Paul Cattermole and Tina Barrett have been touring as S Club 2/3/4 since October 2008 in various line-ups.

In November 2014 S Club 7 reunited for a Children In Need performance. Following the success of it the band announced a reunion tour ‘Bring It All Back’, which took place in May 2015. They performed in sold-out arenas and also re-released their compilation album ‘BeSt: The Greatest Hits of S Club 7’.

Comment 🧚‍♀️ if you saw Cinderella panto! Comment 🧚‍♀️ if you saw Cinderella panto!

It proved to be a massive hit. According to Ipswich Star, the panto was Regent Theatre’s “one of the most successful ever”. Also the reviews were great. Here’s how Ipswich Star described the experience: "- - But within just a few minutes I had been won over. - -This production is a classic pantomime – there is nothing radical or unexpected and it is all the better for that. - - And several of the gags were laugh out loud funny. - - It really is a stellar cast right through with S Club 7’s Hannah Spearritt as the Fairy Godmother. - - This is a smashing family outing - and it is not just for the kids. By the end I was even up dancing along myself. Congratulations to everyone involved - and to those who have already got a ticket, you are in for a treat and if you are a Scrooge when you go in you won’t be when you leave.
