REMEMBER PAUL CATTERMOLE from S Club 7?
There he is, back in the good ol’ days.
Well, he’s decided to auction off his Brit award on eBay, saying that he has ‘bills to pay’. After being put on the auction site for an initial £650, the item has at the time of writing attracted bids of £66,000, (€74,000) with three days still to go.
On the listing, Cattermole describes the award as having “signs of age”, and offers a meet and greet with whoever wins the auction, including photos, “distance depending”.
It’s time to let the past be the past.”
Sob.
S Club 7 won Best Newcomer at the ceremony in 2000, and went on to have 10 top three hits in the UK including four No 1s.
Cattermole left the group in 2002, with the rest of S Club disbanding in 2003. He partially reformed the band in 2008 with Jo O’Meara and Bradley McIntosh, later joined by Tina Barrett, though he left again in 2014. In December 2017, the remaining trio released a new single, Family.
It’s no Don’t Stop Movin’ though, is it?
He’s following the lead of Abz Love from the boyband 5ive, who put his Brit award up for sale in 2015. He initially put the award on eBay with a view to buying supplies for his farm in south Wales, having been using it as a doorstop – bids reached over £1m before the auction was deleted by eBay.
All I needed was a bit of topsoil and it’s gone nuts,” he said at the time.
