The couple started dating in 2001, and their relationship lasted for five years until ending in 2006.

They later had one final relationship rekindle in 2015, but they broke up again after a few months. It was revealed that Cattermole and Hannah were not exactly on good terms after their second separation and that he had accused her of “replacing” him with Primeval actor Andrew-Lee Potts.

In 2019, Cattermole admitted that their relationship wasn’t entirely organic at first because he had a contractual obligation to date Hannah because their romance was depicted in the Hollywood 7 group’s TV show.
