NR catches up with S Club

S Club broke loads of fans’ hearts when they split up in April 2003. But what are the band up to now? Newsround caught up with them at the premiere of Hannah’s new film.

Jo was first up. She said: “I’m just in the middle of recording my first album. It’s kind of rocky, kind of Pink-ish, in a way.”

Next was Rachel. She’s had a couple of hits, but what’s coming up now? She told us: “We’re working on something now, so in the early summer I’ll be working on my next single.”

Paul was the first one to leave the group, to set up his own rock band. So has he got it going? He said: “It’s going to take six months, maybe eight months, but there’s something in the pipeline.”

Tina was looking forward to getting finished. She said: “I’m in the middle of writing my album at the moment, I’m really excited.”

Jon’s been on the West End stage in Les Miserables. But what’s next? He told us: “I finish Les Miserables in June, and then after that, who knows? I’d maybe like to do a bit of television.”

Bradley seemed happy to mix it up. He said: “I’ve got pop songs, I’ve got R’n'B songs, I’ve got a little bit of rap as well.”

But what about Hannah? How did a big Hollywood film compare to the S Club movie, Seeing Double?

She said: “There was a big budget on this one, I think that was the main difference. And also you spend a lot more time filming it. We shot Seeing Double in about three weeks.”

She was looking a bit shifty though – anything to confess Hannah? About the last week of S Club?

“I had to go out to do the screen test (for Agent Cody Banks 2) and that was on the last week of S Club,” she admits. “They were all saying “Hannah’s ill in bed with the flu.” But no, I was in LA. The kids aren’t going to be happy now, are they?”
