He had a “nasty fall” during rehearsals for his second skate and later revealed that he had suffered several illnesses during training, related to an infection from a broken tooth.
Due to her health problems, which included the flu and norovirus, she missed several rehearsals which left her on the defensive.
She then scored just 20 points out of a possible 40 on her Frozen-inspired skate in week two with pro partner Andy Buchanan and became one of the first to be evicted.
‘The show starts in three hours, I fell. It’s just a reminder that what we’re doing is pretty dangerous,” she said in a video clip posted before the live show.
Seemingly devastated by her early departure, Spearritt later said she was “disappointed” in a video posted to social media.
“I’m obviously disappointed, but the standard was very, very high and I’m excited to see the journey that everyone else is going to take now,” she said.
‘And it’s been an incredible team, you know how it is. I love Sundays, the transformation. I’ll miss him.’

After the fight, the other members, Rachel Stevens, Jo O’Meara, Jon Lee, Bradley McIntosh and Tina Barrett, announced that they would continue as a quintet.

Hannah has since admitted that she doesn’t know if she will sing with S Club again.
She told how ‘everything’ changed for her after Paul’s death and gave her time to reflect on whether rejoining the band was the right thing to do.
