S Club 7 was a British pop band created by former Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller, who rose to fame via their own BBC television program.

The program was a sitcom based around the band members (who played themselves) living together and trying to become famous. The program changed its name to reflect the location it was set in: Miami 7, LA 7, Hollywood 7 and Viva S Club, set in Spain. During each episode, the members would perform one of the songs from their current album. It was created and partially written by Kim Fuller , who also created and wrote the Spice Girls' movie.

The show also became a big hit in the United States, where it originally aired on Fox Family and later on ABC Family. The series were retitled S Club 7 in Miami, S Club 7 in Miami, S Club 7 in Miami and Viva S Club.

Lineup

Breakup

In March 2002 Paul Cattermole, the eldest member of the band, announced he was leaving to join Skua, a nu metal band formed by his school-friends, though he remained with S Club 7 until June and continued to date fellow member Hannah Spearitt. The remaining six members stayed together under the name S Club until the release of their movie Seeing Double in April 2003, disbanding later the same month.

Spearitt went on to star in the movie Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London, while Rachel Stevens has enjoyed several solo hits.

S Club Juniors

A contest asking for children to join S Club 7 during a performance at Wembley arena resulted in 9 children forming another band, originally called S Club Juniors. One of them - Connor - left this band early but the others keep the S Club legacy alive to this day under the name of S Club 8. They also had a small role in 'Viva S Club'. Their hits include: One Step Closer, Automatic High, New Direction, Puppy Love and Fool No More.
