S Club 7 have reportedly secured a seven-figure deal to reunite later this year.

The 'Reach' group are said to be planning a series of UK gigs in the summer, as well as the possibility of releasing two albums, including a new Greatest Hits collection.

The group consisting of Hannah Spearritt, Paul Cattermole, Jo O'Meara, Rachel Stevens, Tina Barrett, Jon Lee and Bradley McIntosh have reportedly decided to reunite to coincide with landmarks events in the UK this summer, such as the Olympics and Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee.

"The guys have been inundated with approaches and offers over the past three years, but always said no," a source told The Mirror.

"But following a series of talks and meetings, they decided to go for it. What with the Olympics coming up and the Queen's Diamond Jubilee concert, there's a real British feel-good factor at the moment."

The insider added: "The band figured it was a case of now or never. And if the gigs go well there is the option to release a new album, plus a Greatest Hits.

"Everyone is really excited - and frantically getting back in shape".


Never Had A Dream Come True till I saw this today. Hope it's officially announced soon. Ain't no party like an S Club party! grindance.gif

I thought it was just another rumour but it doesn't look like any of the members are disregarding them. I will have to go and see them, they were a massive part of my childhood.

Well they are hardly getting individual offers.

The whole is far greater than the sum of the parts in their case.
MOOO
Stop jumping on the bandwagod S Club

You were always a poor mans Steps
CherryBoomBoom
I actually will go to this if I can. But yeah Paul is hardly gig ready unless he has changed since that view post.

And I well preferred S Club to Steps

Hey, hey, there's enough love in the room for both!

Definitely going to see this. Never thought it would happen after the Big Brother racism row but time clearly has passed.

I think Rachel could get a greater sum for her parts than the group as a whole. It's harder for solo pop stars to be perceived as credible nowadays. Which is why record companies don't invest in signing ex band members. Although she proved successful enough with her solo singles, so frustrating that her music career has taken a back seat. After coming second on Strictly Come Dancing, she was supposed to have been recording new stuff that never emerged. She needs to take a leap of faith and get back out there. I guess after having a baby her priorities might have changed. The price must be too good for them to refuse. However Paul and Hannah have history, plus he left the band cause he had out grown being in a pop band. It will look desperate of him if he comes back for the reunion. Sclub had a young energetic vibe about them, it would be interesting to see them a decade later trying to bounce around on stage singing teenie songs like 'You' and 'Sclub Party'. However there ballads where more mature. I always thought seven people in a band was too many (then along came the So Solid Crew & Blazin Squad) and unneccessary, considering Jo sang most of the songs, whilst the rest of them swayed whilst looking pretty. I preferred them towards the end of their time as a group. At least A1 have come back with a new album. Fed up of bands reforming and putting no effort in to it. Anyone can cash in singing the same old songs then disappearing again. If they aint going to reform properly then why ruin the memory. Some times things are best left in the past.

I think Tina was only in it because she was their choreographer or something
AndyJ
Tina was always my favourite because everyone seemed to hate her! She's still my favourite today! Love Tina

S Club 7 played a big part of my growing up as a gay teen so i'm pleased about this. Used to fancy Paul so much, although last picture I saw he hasn't exactly aged well. loon.gif

Yeah looks like he'd struggle to "Reach" his toes never mind anything else. laugh.gif
PadSpin
Yeh, I always preferred Paul to Jon but they've definitely swapped places of late.

I take it a personal trainer has been engaged for PC? thumbsup.gif

Two S Club performances on Australian television:

(Be warned these are really bad!)



CherryBoomBoom
Well, they've... aged.
Plus it really should be all or nothing, 3 of them is just a bit sad.
dixie
Yeah, not really S Club without the other 4.

It's like The Saturdays could be called S Club since 2 of them were in S Club Juniors/8


And Dannii Minogue doing the Australia's Got Talent button pressing is pretty funny.

Well at least Paul looks...better I guess.... unsure.gif

They're in desperate need for new back up dancers though.
Chris=)
Did Paul forget that he's no longer part of the band.

Don't succumb to this farce Rachel.

Oh my God puke.gif

My childhood has just been ruined.

Safe to say we can identify the three most desperate members.

Jo looks like a fat old Pat Butcher who can't sing.

Bradley looks like he just rolled out of bed and can't sing.

Paul looks like a fat lesbian who can't sing (but he is the best out of that lot).

And the random backing dancers.. I can't.

Can we just have the other 4 to reform, they were always my favourites as opposed to these 3.
blake2108
Well Tina's busy with her solo single which I dislike (although she looks great (compared to those three))

CherryBoomBoom
Holy fuck she looks amazing!
AndyJ
Fuck yeah. Go Tina B!
Tiuri
Dear God, those clips of the three of them are awful shaky.gif
slayersw
Ohhhh. So THIS is why they got bottled out of my Uni... I thought it was just cos I went to Bradford. Turns out, it's cos they're shit.. Tina's solo effort is a great song. With a terrible video.
