Paul Cattermole's kindness and genuine nature shone through during and after a Loose Women appearance a few years ago.
During one of his toughest times, the late S Club 7 singer was invited onto the show. But he didn't have enough money to pay for an outfit to wear.
Loose Women producers were keen to have Paul, who has tragically died at the age of 46, on the show, and so gave him a smart black long-sleeved top so he could entertain fans and speak about his life, the Mirror reports.

They expected that the singer would keep the shirt, but Paul kindly decided to leave it behind, and took to Twitter afterwards to explain why. Paul heartbreakingly explained that he didn't want anyone to think that he was stealing the shirt.
He said: "Thanks to all the Ladies @loosewomen thanks for being so nice. I left the shirt in the dressing room. Just in case you though I had pilfered it."
Fans flocked to Paul after his admission, telling him he was brave to talk about how little money he had after the success of S Club 7.
One said: "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."
A second added: "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."
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 added: "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.
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.
