CD:UK magazine - February 2001
Do all the rumours about snogging Hannah annoy you?
Paul: “Yeah, they do. What makes me laugh is that me and Hannah have been mates since we were 16, when Hannah was going out with my friend Neil. The 3 of us and our mate Sheridan hung out all the time, wo we've been in the same crew for years. I've never really explained that before, so maybe now people will believe me!”

Would you be embarrased if Hannah said she loved you in front of your mates?
Paul: “Yeah, I would a little bit! It's not really happened to me, and I don't think my mates would take the mickey out of me cos they're not like that, but I'm just a bit more private than that.”

Is it true you're leaving?
Hannah: “No way! I don't know how that rumour started! I think maybe it was because Paul was leaving so people thought I would as well, but I've never considered it.”

OK magazine - December 6th 2001
Paul: “Basically, we've known each other for a long, long time and we just got closer and closer being in a band and working together. We're very very happy, she's lovely!”
Hannah: “We got together about 6 months ago, I think, and we have just fallen in love. I don't know how it happened! We were like best mates in the band and we've known each other for years. We've always been very close and we always went to each other with our problems.” Responding to the accusations that it's all a fake,
Paul is emphatic: "I'd say absolutely not.” Hannah adds: "It's not, but I suppose it might seem like that. It was time to be honest really, because it had been going on for a while and we didn't want to, and couldn't, hide it for much longer.”

What do the other band members think?
Jon: “It's about time really!”
Rachel: “It's lovely. I wasn't shocked at all because they are very close and knew each other before the band - it was inevitable really.”
Bradley: “Altogether, we've known each other for 4 years, but they've known each other for 7 years. I wish the best for them.”

Tina: “It was perfect. They're so sweet together.”
Jon: “You know when you look at two people and know they're meant to be together? That's what it's like.”

Smash Hits, February 19th, 2002
Pop lovers Paul and Hannah 7 have vowed never to sell their wedding day to a magazine - whether they end up marrying each other or someone else entirely.
Paul: “I'd never do it - not for any amount of money. I've never agreed with it, but people can do what they want, can't they? I find it very bizarre - it's supposed to be one of the most important days of your life so why would you want to share it with the whole world?” And his current squeeze Hannah added: "Absolutely not. I've got nothing against other people doing it, but I'd only want the people closest to me there. You're probably given a lot of money for it, but that's not the be all and end all."

Get ready for some romance goss that will leave your cheeks as rosy as blushing bridesmaid's. Cutesie S Club 7 lovers Paul and Hannah have revealed all about their first kiss. According to the tabloids, the pop pair, dating secretly for six months, got together when the band stayed in a house in Bath to rehearse for a tour.
Paul explained in the News Of The World: "Hannah and I got closer and that's when we had our first kiss. It felt like being a teenager again."
Hannah added: "I was nervous mixing my personal life with my professional one but it all seems to be working." Keep your fingers crossed for 'em folks.

Heat mag – Dec 4th 2001
"Love you - S Club's Paul has let slip that he calls his bandmate and lover Hannah Spearritt, "Spunjab". The couple also revealed that some of their love scenes on the set of their TV shows, Miami 7 and LA7 got so steamy, many of them were cut."

Who would make the perfect girlfriend?
Paul: “Hannah, I think she would buy me little presents and stuff.”

Who can you trust with your deepest, darkest secrets?
Paul: “Hannah. She knows a few secrets about me already and I know she'll never tell a soul. We were in National Youth Music Theatre together when she was only 13. We performed together in Hong Kong and on Broadway in New York - it was wicked!”

I believe in soulmates, do you?
Paul: “What like sooooooulmates? Well, yeah I think so. It depends what your definition of soulmate is. Mine? Someone who knows your soul so well that you're just connected. I believe in very good friends and best friends and if that is a soulmate then yes, I have a soulmate. No, I'm not telling you who it is.”

Yam magazine – November 2001
The popscene has a new dream couple! Hannah and Paul from S club 7 have been together for 6 months. They told "Yam" how it works and why they kept their love a secret!

The hiding game is over! They have admitted it! Hannah Spearritt, the wild party girl of the group, and Paul Cattermole, the heartbreaker, are a couple and began going out in May 2001. "It was love at second sight!" says Hannah beaming. "We had already known each other for 7 years, but sparks began to fly first in the Spring." And Paul added: "We kept our love secret because we didn't know whether it was only a little fling or whether it was serious. But now we think it's serious!"

They met for the first time in 1994, when Paul and Hannah took part in the youth production "Pendragon". Hannah "I was only 13, and Paul was already 17, when we got to know each other" remembers Hannah. "I fancied him straight-off, but there was no hope, because he was always surrounded by attractive girls!" They both lost contact after a year, but met again 4 years later when Simon Fuller bought them together for S club 7. "That was fate" says Paul. "We couldn't believe it when we both got picked for the band!" At that moment, Paul had a steady girlfriend, but through the stress of S club 7 and the many trips abroad, the romance broke off. Hannah had no steady boyfriend, but she often longed for a relationship.

Six months ago, sparks began to fly between the two. The group were in England on tour – they travelled together on the tour bus, spent nearly every minute with each other and got to know each other better than before. "Hannah and I became very close" says Paul. "When she was tired, she would always lean against me. We told each other all our anxieties and problems, we had total understanding of each other. I noticed I was falling for her. Then we kissed, and I sensed that Hannah had the same feelings!"

At first, they said nothing - they did not tell the rest of the band members. After the English tour and a short holiday, the S club flew to LA in July, to film their new series, Hollywood 7. Before the departure, the pair decided to tell the group about their secret romance. Paul: "We wanted to see how it developed before we went public!" In LA, the atmosphere was much more relaxed than in England. S Club didn't have to play cat and mouse with the paparazzi. They could go out together, without causing a great stir. They could share a hotel room without it being in the newspaper the next day. They were able to do what normal couples do. When they had to film the kiss scene for their new series, that was their moment to "come out". The scene was special for the lovers. Hannah: "We are totally happy and pleased, that the hiding game is over. For me, Paul is my biggest love. We are now looking for a flat to share in London."

Tell us about your best valentine's day ever!

Paul: “Same here!” (But now you are!)

What would you like to do for Valentine's Day?
Paul: “I'd like to go to the cinema, and then eat out. Or maybe go to the Ice Hotel in Lapland, where everything's made out of ice!”
Hannah: “I'd quite like to go off to Venice and travel on a gondola.”
Paul: ”Ha! ha! Oooh, I don't know if I can afford that!”

Hannah and Paul, was it hard to keep your relationship under wraps?
Paul: “Probably not as difficult as it should havebeen!”
Hannah: “I don't think some people could have done it as long as we did!”
Paul: “We've been together about 10 months. It was a case of either us coming clean or someone saying something that wouldn't have been as truthful.”

Tell us what love means to you:
Paul: “It's when you care about someone so deeply it affects you.”
Hannah: “It's when your souls meet and you come together.”

Paul: “I do get a bit mushy when I’m in love.”

Pre –dating: Hannah and Paul haven't always spoken so kindly about one-another!!!

Smash Hits magazine - May 1999
Hannah: “Paul smells. He changes his pants about every two days!”
Hannah: “Oh my God! Paul is the messiest! I bet Paul said I was messy? Yeh? Cheeky git.”
Hannah: “No, Paul gets his willy out a lot. He wrapped it round...Nah, I can't tell you!”
Rach: “Oh go on, they dished the dirt on us!”
Hannah: “He wrapped it round his wrist and used it as a watch! (laughs) And then he said "Hannah - ask me the time!"”

On snogging the boys...
Hannah: “It would be like snogging your brother!”
Paul: “But then, Hannah's not that girly really, except when it comes to being, well, I don't like to use the word manipulative, but...

On snogging the girls:
Paul: “They're all beautiful girls, obviously, and hand on heart I can say I love them all. Well, maybe love is a bit stong...”

October 2000 "But he never wishes he wasn't in the band so he could pull the S Club girls…” “No way!" he shouts. "there's too much knowledge about each other's bad points. We all have that."

Then again, maybe it was always destined to happen...

Hannah: (thinks a while) “When I meet someone, I suppose, it takes me a long time to work out whether I really want to be with them, I suppose, yeah. For me to be in a relationship it has to be bloody good." (It's obviously bloody good then!!)

Hannah: "Paul always makes me laugh, he's got a very sarcastic humour!"
