Cattermole’s cause of death is currently unknown.
Born March 7, 1977 in St Albans, Hertfordshire, the singer grew up performing in youth choirs and studied theater before auditioning for S Club 7 and earning a spot in the group upon its formation in 1999.
Alongside fellow members Tina Barrett, Jon Lee, Bradley McIntosh, Jo O’Meara, Hannah Spearritt and Rachel Stevens, Cattermole swiftly achieved success with S Club 7 upon the group’s debut.
Their first single “Bring It All Back” reached No. 1 in the United Kingdom, and all of the 12 songs commercially released afterward throughout their four studio albums and a greatest hits project charted top 5 in the country.
“Never Had a Dream Come True,” released in 2000, became the group’s first and only top 10 single in the United States. After also starring on several television shows includingMiami 7,L.A.7andHollywood 7andViva S Club, Cattermole exited the group in June 2002.

Earlier this year, the groupannounced another reunion as well as a European arena tour. “We’re just so excited to get back out there and sing our hearts out and perform,” Stevens said on BBCThe One Showin February. “We’re celebrating 25 years, which is just crazy.”
The tour announcement was especially notable, asDaily Mailreported that Cattermole and Spearritt, 41, had finally ended a years-long feudfollowing the end of their romantic relationship. The pair first dated from 2001 through 2006 and later got back together for a short period of time in 2015.
