S Club 7's Hanna Spearitt homeless and forced to live in an office with her two kids

S Club 7 star Hannah Spearritt revealed she and her family were homeless during Christmas.

The singer said it was 'stressful' as she, her partner Adam Thomas, 42, and their two children were forced to live in a friend's office.

They only had a few days to find a new place after being forced to leave their home and had to ask friends for help as one short-term rental accommodation asked for £6,000 upfront.

Hannah was part of a hit band that raked in £50 million. At one point, she earned £150,000 a year while performing for tens of thousands of fans in the 2000s.

Unfortunately, the family are still living in temporary houses and moved to four different places in the last six months.

Their children Taya, four, and Tora, three, were none the wiser as Hannah turned the situation into a fun game for them.

Hannah explained to The Sun: “We were not on a good wage compared to the money being made.

“People think we must all be millionaires but sadly it’s just not true. It was what it was and we enjoyed ourselves at the time."

They were living in a home in southwest London when their landlord decided to sell the place, leaving them two days to find a new place.

Last month, Hannah claimed there was a big difference between the number of albums S Club 7 sold and the amount of money the group made.

She was in the band alongside fellow singers Tina Barrett, Paul Cattermole, Jon Lee, Bradley McIntosh, Jo O'Meara and Rachel Stevens.

S Club 7 - who were signed to Universal records - released four albums between 1999 and 2002, appeared in a string of TV shows and films, and unleashed 13 singles including Number 1 hits Bring It All Back, Never Had a Dream Come True, Don’t Stop Moving and Have You Ever.

But despite selling more than 10 million records worldwide, the band members reportedly pocketed only £150,000 a year.

Hannah told the Sun on Sunday: “We may not have got what we deserved in comparison to how much we made.

“I won’t feel guilty for saying that, because we made millions and millions of pounds.

Hannah, at least, was smart with her earnings and was able to ensure her hard-earned money went to good use to secure her future.

She explained: “Luckily I was very sensible. My dad looked after me and I bought property straight away. I was one of the lucky ones.”
