Hannah Spearritt is stepping out of the recording studio and into a fresh pair of skates as she signs up for the new series of ‘Dancing On Ice’.
The S Club star will compete on the forthcoming series of the ITV show, with her involvement confirmed during an appearance on ‘Good Morning Britain’ on Thursday (September 28).
In a short clip aired on the show, she said: “Hello ‘Good Morning Britain’, I’ve got a little secret to tell you, something I’m very excited about.

“I’m going to be on ‘Dancing On Ice’ in 2024 and I’m very excited. So I’m going to keep you up to date on my training and we’re going to have some fun.”
She joins a line-up including World Champion boxer Ricky Hatton MBE and ‘Coronation Street’ star Claire Sweeney, with the show set to air in January.
Before then, Hannah will release her first-ever memoir, ‘Facing The Music’, on October 5 on Renegade Books, documenting the Don’t Stop Movin’ hitmaker’s life and career, from finding success as a teenager in the band to her transition into acting.
“I’m thrilled to be working with Renegade Books to tell my life story for the very first time [and] get the opportunity to discuss getting to grips with the fickle, often cut-throat nature of the media and entertainment industry,” said Hannah.
“There will be stories that will shock people as I lift the lid on the pressures of growing up in the public eye, being in S Club 7, battling chronic illness, having kids, love, loss and other personal struggles I’ve overcome.”
She added: “I’m looking forward to releasing this book with such a great team behind it and can’t wait for you all to read it. I have certainly enjoyed the cathartic process of ‘bringing it all back’.”
Hannah was just 17 when she joined S Club 7 and – alongside Tina Barrett, Paul Cattermole, Jon Lee, Bradley McIntosh, Jo O’Meara and Rachel Stevens – earned four chart-topping UK singles from four studio albums, before the band split in 2003.
They reunited in 2014 and in 2015 embarked on their ‘Bring It All Back Tour’, with the performer also flexing her acting chops in shows such as Primeval, Death In Paradise and Casualty over the years.
In February, it was announced that S Club would return to the stage once more to mark their 25th anniversary, however following Paul’s death in April, Hannah – who dated her bandmate in the 2000s – decided not to take part.
