During a hard time, Paul Cattermole was asked to appear on Loose Women in 2018 but heartbreakingly had no money to pay for a new outfit.
The S Club legend, who has tragically died at the age of 46, made a kind act of returning the top he was given by TV bosses after they provided him with a smart black long-sleeved top so he could entertain fans and speak about his life.
Production expected the singer- who was 41 at the time- to keep the shirt, but but Paul kindly decided to leave it behind - and took to Twitter afterwards to explain why reports the Mirror.
Paul heartbreakingly explained that he didn't want anyone to think that he was stealing the shirt.
"Thanks to all the Ladies @ loosewomen thanks for being so nice," he tweeted the show's official account.
"I left the shirt in the dressing room. Just in case you though I had pilfered it."
Fans rushed to support Paul after his admission, reassuring him that he was brave to talk about his money troubles after the success of S Club 7.
"I Was so moved by your interview. Such a brave thing to do. It must have been so difficult for you. I hope you are soon in a better situation. Emotionally and financially. And remember that there are a lot of people who love and care for you. Always remember that," one said.
"I just wanted to give you a big hug and invite you over for a cooked meal after hearing of your financial troubles. Hope it looks up for you," wrote another.
A third told him: "Keep your head held high. Your life will turn around. Keep positive. I always say think positive and positive things happen."
The singer opened up about his serious money issues on Loose Women during a very emotional interview.
When Jane asked whether any family members had helped him out with his money troubles, he insisted that his "mum has helped in a big way this year".
He also said that he was very keen to dip his toe into reality TV, citing Dancing On Ice and I'm A Celeb as examples, but quipped: "For some reason they don't want me".
Paul was an S Club favourite - and broke hearts across the nation when it was announced he was quitting the band back in 2002.
"It had got to the point where things were being handled so badly, I had to go," Paul told The Guardian.
Paul reunited with some old school friends to form nu metal group Skua, but they split in 2003 after failing to sign a record deal.
Five years after S Club broke up, Paul started performing at nightclub, universities and holiday camps across the UK with Jo and Bradley as S Club 3.
