A source told The Sun: “They didn’t mention her once during the whole gig - even during the tribute to Paul.
"It was really weird as she was obviously a big part of the band and in it for a long time - but it was like she didn’t exist.”
The news of Hannah, who has since signed up as a contestant on ITV skating show Dancing On Ice, being snubbed comes as her ex-bandmates pulled out of their second gig with just hours before they were due to perform on stage leaving their fans devastated.

The cancelled gig has been rescheduled for October 30 with all tickets remaining valid. Fans who are unable to make the new date are entitled to refunds.
Speaking about how relations had broken down between herself and her former bandmates, Hannah told The Sun at the start of the month: "I’ve not spoken to any of them since I left, which is fine.
"I was extremely excited — we all were — to get back as a seven.
"But then Paul died and everything changed. It gave me time to reflect on whether it was the right thing for me to do.
"I’m really sad we aren’t in touch. They’ve gone their way and I’ve gone mine. I wish them all the best."
