Paul Cattermoles final social media post saw S Club star in brilliant Eurovision skit

S Club 7 star Paul Cattermole’s final post on social media prior to his death showcased the star at his smiling and cheeky best, as he starred alongside his bandmates in a Eurovision themed skit for Comic Relief.

The 46 year old singer was sadly found dead at his home on Thursday (6 April) and his death was announced on Friday.

His passing comes just weeks after he and the rest of S Club 7 had announced their plans to stage an epic 25th anniversary tour later this year.

In his last Instagram post, which was shared on 16 March, one day ahead of the iconic Red Nose Day, Paul shared a sneaky behind the scenes preview of a skit that saw him and other celebs competing for a spot in the highly anticipated Eurovision song contest.

Appearing alongside stars including Miranda Hart, Sam Ryder, Dermot O’Leary, Graham Norton and even music legend Lulu, there was denying Paul’s keen sense of humour as he fully committed to the entertaining performance.

In the clip, the three judges – Graham, Lulu and Sam – explained they were “one the hunt” for the UK’s next Eurovision star.

Lulu joked: "You won't believe who's trying to get in on the action.”

The camera then cut to a shot which revealed Paul was preparing to go up against Strictly Come Dancing star Fleur East for the chance to secure his place in the competition.

Three weeks after the clip was shared, Paul was sadly found dead at his home on 6 April, prompting an outpouring of condolences and heartbroken messages from friends, family and fans alike.

Paul was one of the original members of S Club 7 when it formed in 1998, and quickly carved a name for himself in the UK music scene as he cemented his place in the hearts of millennial kids everywhere.

During their five years together, S Club 7 had four UK No.1 singles, and one UK No.1 album, while also enjoying a raft of top ten singles in Europe, America, Asia, Latin America and even Africa.

Although the band decided to part ways in 2003, they recently announced that they were once again reforming to perform a special anniversary tour to celebrate their 25th anniversary.

The new tour is due to take place in October 2023, with 11 dates in both the UK and Ireland announced, including in Manchester, Birmingham, Nottingham and Leeds.

All seven original members of the group agreed to reunite for the special string of performances, but following Friday’s tragic death announcement it is currently unknown whether the tour will still go ahead.

A statement from Paul's family announcing his death was shared on Friday, which said: "It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of our beloved son and brother Paul Cattermole.

"Paul was found yesterday, 6th April 2023 at his home in Dorset and was pronounced dead later that afternoon.

"While the cause of death is currently unknown, Dorset Police has confirmed that there were no suspicious circumstances.

"Paul’s family, friends and fellow members of S Club request privacy at this time."
