Hannah Spearritt has reportedly claimed she was “pushed out” of the S Club reunion tour which is set to kick off this October.
According to sources claiming to have insider knowledge, the rest of the band have apparently been “ordered not to speak to her directly”.
It has been reported by The Sun that Hannah – who dated late S Club 7 bandmate Paul Cattermole – first realised she was not being included in the upcoming tour when the band went behind her back and filmed a social media post without her.

It is claimed the mum-of-two was about to sign her contract before she was “blindsided” after bosses went ahead with the launch.
The star has allegedly sought out legal advice which has reportedly led to weeks of tense negotiations between herself and the group.
Finally, band bosses asked her to rejoin the group earlier this year but Hannah has reportedly since claimed that she felt “betrayed” by what had gone on between them.
Sources have now claimed that although she has now put pen to paper on an agreement, there is “little to no chance” of her making an appearance on the tour due to the “bad blood” among the singers.
One insider claimed the outlet: “Hannah is devastated. She was pushed out and doesn’t understand why. The rest of S Club has been told not to contact her.”
Daily Star has reached out to Hannah and the group’s representatives for a comment.
The claims wildly clash with the united front the group put on following the tragic death of Paul in April.
The group vowed last week to press ahead with their arena tour despite his sudden passing at the age of 46.
Tina Barrett appeared to gloss over Hannah’s absence on tour, which has reduced the original group S Club 7 to S Club 5.

She said: “It’s nothing bad. It’s just that everyone needs their own space.”
However, sources claimed that Hannah was “binned” after a series of bust-ups with bosses working for the band’s creator Simon Fuller.
The Sun’s insider claimed: “The rest of the band signed their contracts to go on tour in the blink of an eye and said ‘Yes’ to everything.
“For various reasons, Hannah took her tome and pushed back on a few details. Suddenly without her knowledge, S Club’s comeback was launched without her.
“The announcement was made on social media, and she knew nothing about it. It was incredibly hurtful.”
