Paul Cattermole: S Club 7 star died of natural causes

S Club 7 star Paul Cattermole died of natural causes, according to a coroner's report.

The 46-year-old was found dead in his home in Dorset on 6 April, weeks after announcing he was rejoining the pop band.

A spokesperson from Dorset Coroner's Office told the BBC that due to the nature of his death there would be no inquest.

No further details were given on cause of death by the coroner.

Cattermole was due to embark on a UK tour with the band later this year.

It has since been announced that the 11-date tour will still go ahead, but band member Hannah Spearritt will not be taking part.

Speaking to The Sun, Spearritt, who was in a relationship with Cattermole for several years, said she couldn't "stop crying" since hearing the news.

The band, pictured with BBC Radio 2 DJ Scott Mills, announced a tour to coincide with their 25th anniversary.

Ahead of the tour to celebrate their 25th anniversary, the band has rebranded as S Club.

S Club 7 were one of the UK's biggest pop bands of the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Their biggest hits were Reach, Don't Stop Movin' and S Club Party, with the band earning 11 UK top 10 singles and four number ones.

They sold more than 10 million albums worldwide and won two Brit Awards.

Cattermole left the group in 2002, swapping pop music for his earlier love of heavy metal.

He re-joined the group Skua, which he had been previously been involved with as a teenager.
