Emotional S Club reveal moment they believe tragic Paul Cattermole’s spirit visited them on video shoot

S CLUB have revealed the emotional moment they felt late bandmate Paul Cattermole’s presence on the set of their new music video.

The pop group will release their first single in 20 years, called These Are The Days, on Wednesday and believe they were visited by him while making the snippet.

The Nineties favourites - made up of Rachel Stevens, 45, Jo O’Meara, 44, Bradley McIntosh, 41, Jon Lee, 41 and Tina Barrett, 46 - said they felt like he paid them a visit in the form of a colourful butterfly.

During their first interview since Paul’s tragic death in April aged 46, Tina said: “There was a butterfly.

“We were all sat down and a butterfly came from nowhere. It was a really bright, beautiful butterfly which flew down and went off.

“I don’t know why, but I just thought, ‘That’s Paul’. It came from nowhere.”

Rachel added: “There’s little signs of Paul everywhere.
“On the video shoot, there was a vinyl coaster and it said ‘Good Times’ on it. That was his song.”

Paul was tragically found dead at his home in Dorset on April 6 and it was later revealed he had passed away due to heart issues.

The group had reunited just seven weeks earlier to announce their 25th anniversary tour, which will go ahead in October with the name The Good Times Tour.

They now believe he sent other signs during filming for their new video, in which they look back at their fondest memories with Paul.

Bradley said: “It was the hottest day, so I feel like he gave us the sunshine.

“Because he’s got such a big personality, every now and then, one of us will ‘break into Paul’.”

Speaking about shooting the visuals, Jo agreed: “Yeah, someone will always do a ‘Paul thing’.

“Especially on the music video when we got in the car for the very last scene, we were all saying, ‘He would have loved this car’.

“It’s just all silly little references every time we’re doing something.
“He’s definitely always around, which is nice.”

The band was originally made up of seven members but is now a five-piece following Paul’s death and Hannah Spearritt’s decision to leave.
However, they hope to spread joy with their forthcoming tour and new music.

On their new single, Rachel said: “I think it’s got such a balance of everything that’s happened but also still positive and uplifting.”
