Scott Robinson has shared an emotional tribute to S Club 7's Paul Cattermole after a previous blunder.
The 5IVE singer shared a heartfelt message about Paul, who tragically died aged 47 at his Dorset home on Friday (April 7), just months before the much-anticipated S Club reunion tour.
Singer Scott, 43, shared on Twitter : "Such sad news today at the passing of Paul of @SClub7. We wish all close to him the very best. See you in the great concert in the sky some day Paul. RIP. Love Five."
Yet many were quick to notice a mistake in Scott's original tweet as it followed a message reading: "Scott, stick this up with a picture."
