They were famously a seven-piece, getting back together as recently as 2014 to celebrate a reunion.

But S Club 7 are deciding to reunite with just three members, while four of the originals have declined to take part.

Former couple Hannah Spearritt, 36, and Paul Cattermole, 40, have confirmed they won't rejoin the group only a few weeks after a vicious Twitter feud that followed the ugly fallout of their break-up.

Jo O'Meara, Tina Barrett and Bradley Macintosh have decided to re-brand the group as SC3 in order to continue the group's legacy.

They are set the release the group's first song in 14 years which is called 'Family' and was written and produced by Simon Ellis.

Ellis had previously worked on the group's hit single's Don't Stop Movin' and Never Had A Dream Come True.

A source to the trio revealed to The Sun that the song 'was originally pitched for all seven of them to sing on their Bring It All Back reunion tour in 2015, when they toyed with the idea of releasing new tunes.

'But it was Paul who decided he didn't want to continue, and the other members didn't want to release music without the whole band.'

The source added: 'Paul has made it clear he doesn't want the group's legacy damaged which is why they have decided to rebrand to just be SC3.'

Reunited, but not for long: The pop act went on a sold-out arena tour in 2015 but now many members are simply too busy with other work commitments to take part in the band activities

Paul and Hannah had a heated exchange on the social media website earlier this month where Paul claimed Hannah had dumped him to focus on her career.

Hannah then hit back at Paul on the site, replying: 'Cringe. Someone's broke again…. Hilarious! #tragic'.'

Paul then returned the favour, trying to make a joke of the situation by saying: ''Broke and Tragic' it has a certain ring to it. Could it be 'The Broke and the Tragic' am I allowed to use that as a song title ? #justasking'

The exchange continued for several hours before Paul went back and deleted his messages, confusing fans the whole time.
