Gary Barlow has a lot of famous friends and if reports are to be believed, he has picked up yet another in the Bee Gees star Robin Gibb.
The pair are said to have struck up a firm friendship over the past year and insiders have told The Mirror that the X Factor judge will be in the audience when Robin – who is suffering from liver cancer – performs at his charity comeback concert at the London Palladium on February 13.
Gary Barlow was recognised for all his charity work and philanthropic ventures at tonight’s National television Awards.
Since the X Factor judge shot back into the spotlight as part of the once again popular Take That, he has tirelessly tried to raise money for causes such as Children In Need and The Princes Trust and this evening his hard work and effort was rewarded.
Yesterday it sounded like Simon Cowell may be getting ready to sack Gary Barlow, but today it seems that actually, the music mogul is worried that the Take That star may not want to return to The X Factor.
At the recent Britain’s Got Talent auditions Simon revealed that eh would definitely not be sacking Louis Walsh from the judging panel in 2012, but admitted that some viewers of the show didn’t take to Gary.
Simon Cowell has confessed that he will most likely invite his old pal Louis Walsh to return to judge on this year’s series of The X Factor.
The music mogul recently returned to the UK, to film the auditions for the 2012 series of Britain’s Got Talent, but of course what the press really wanted to know is who will be back and who will be sacked on the ITV singing show.
Marcus Collins has admitted that he has already started work on his debut album.
The Liverpudlian singer – who finished in second place in the 2011 series of the X Factor – appeared on Lorraine this morning and told the Scottish Tv host that he has already written “six or seven” songs for the record.
Gary Barlow needs some rest and relaxation and where better to enjoy it than a Caribbean island?
The X Factor judge recently admitted that he was exhausted after starring in a four month long series of the all consuming ITV talent show and couldn’t wait to enjoy some time off with his family.
Well, in a bid to make sure they aren’t interrupted, it has been reported that the Take That star has whisked his wife and three children away to spend Christmas in Antigua.
Tulisa Contostavlos has admitted that she would love to return to The X Factor judging panel next year.
The N-Dubz star joined the ITV show earlier this year and won the series with her girl group Little Mix. She wants to come back in 2012 and admitted that she is also keen to have her co-panelists Kelly Rowland, Gary Barlow and Louis Walsh sitting beside her.
Kelly Rowland has admitted that she has been in awe of Gary Barlow for all of this year’s X Factor series.
The brunette beauty was attending the TW Steel launch party in London last week when she explained that she has become close to the Take That star over the last few months and revealed that she admires him not just as an artist but also for being such a family man.
Matt Cardle has admitted that he was a little disappointed by Marcus Collins’ performance on last weekend’s X Factor final.
The former winner of the ITV series had been backing the Liverpudlian singer to win the 2011 run and confessed that he was ‘gutted’ when the former hairdresser lost out to Little Mix.
However he understood how it happened, as Cardle thinks the duet between Marcus and his mentor Gary Barlow was not as impressive as it could have been.
He told The Sun:
Gary Barlow has admitted that he is glad to be back to the real world this morning.
The X Factor judge has been caught in the show’s bubble for the last four months but today is glad to put it all behind him and relax at home, with his three young children.
The Take That star saw his contestant Marcus Collins finish in second place last night, losing out on the title to girl group Little Mix, though only by 5% of the vote.
