However, it seems that her family café had a few setbacks Spearritt told The Sun:

There have been delays with the café. The reasons are very personal. It’s life stuff, and hard to explain.
I had an illness that took it out of me and I hardly got out of bed in three months.

Hannah Spearritt was made homeless

Being famous doesn’t mean you get a free pass through life and you will still face hardships as Hannah Spearritt discovered.

Indeed the former pop singer and her family were forced to move out of their home as they were unable to pay £6,000 for a short-term rental property, as reported by LadBible.

The landlord of their previous rental home decided to sell and gave the family two months to move out originally. However, that date was brought forward after the house sold sooner than planned, leaving them with only two days to move and no time to look for a new home.

Our landlord needed the money and the property sold so fast. We ended up with under two days to leave.

The family found themselves in financial trouble after Hannah was ill and they were unable to open their café in time. The family moved into a friend’s former business site.
