S Club 7 star Rachel Stevens put on a brave face as she was seen for the first time after Paul Cattermole's death.

Last week, her bandmate Paul died at the age of 46 just days after S Club 7 revealed their plans for a reunion tour.

His bandmates – including his his ex-girlfriend Hannah Spearritt – were left in complete shock and paid tribute to their friend.

And now, a week after his death, Rachel was pictured heading to Global Studios in London ahead of her recording for her Heart 00s Radio show.

She kept her head down and painted on a smile as she made her way to the building.

At one point, Rachel looked up to smile at the cameras.

Her post comes after Jo O'Meara and Tina Barrett shared their memories of their late bandmate - who previously shared his excitement about the upcoming reunion tour.

Sharing a picture of Paul on Instagram, Rachel wrote: "Thank you so much for all your beautiful messages of love and support The outpouring of love for our Paul has been so incredibly special and has meant so much.
