We’ve become so used to seeing Gary Barlow all suited, booted and ever so slightly tense each weekend on The X Factor, that we were a little surprised to see him rocking out in the video below.
The Take That star performed an impromptu set of songs this week, at an exclusive fundraiser in London for Great Ormond Street hospital.
Take That may be one of the biggest bands in the world but they started from humble beginnings, as you can see in the clip below.
The boys may be a whole heap of hunky goodness these days, with their designer stubble, their expensive clothes and their chiseled good looks, but that wasn’t always the case and in fact, when they started out the group where something of a fashion disaster.
Craig Colton has revealed that he has two major music stars backing his future career.
The former biscuit factory worker was eliminated from the ITV series on Sunday night, after a heated sing off with 17 year old Amelia Lily. However he is far from devastated about the fact and in an interview with The Sun today, revealed that he will have the best of advice from this point onwards.
Kelly Rowland has admitted that like most of the female population of Britain, she has a bit of a crush on her fellow X Factor judge Gary Barlow.
The brunette beauty sits beside the dad of three on each live show on the ITV series and may be struggling to keep her hands off the hunk, as she told the Daily Star that if he wasn’t already married, she would be so ‘in there.’
She laughed:
Gary Barlow has claimed that he isn’t taking part in The X Factor, as a way to enhance his own career.
The Take That star joined the panel of the ITV show earlier this year and has been a huge hit with the audience and contestants alike ever since. However, while he confesses that most people signing up to work on reality TV series’, he thinks it’s a good thing that he’s not trying to launch his own music or products off the back of the format.
Gary Barlow has confirmed thgat Take That is a four piece band once more.
The group welcomed former band member Robbie Williams back to the fold for their Progress tour earlier this year, but he is now back working as a solo singer and planning a new album in 2012.
X Factor judge Gary told The Radio Times that their time as a five piece was ‘beautiful’ and added that Williams will be welcome to return at any stage in the future.
He said:
Gary Barlow has admitted that he agreed to become a judge on The X Factor because he knew his children would love it.
The Take That star is dad to Daniel, 11, Emily, 9, and Daisy, 2 but confessed that none of the kids love his normal day job, however the older one are elated now that he is starring on one of their favourite TV shows.
Speaking to The Sun Barlow confessed that during his Take That concerts, his children cna often be found playing computer games backstage, however they’re much more enthusiastic about his new role.
Gary Barlow humiliated vulnerable X Factor contestant Ceri Rees when she auditioned for the show, it has been claimed.
Ceri, 54, made her fourth attempt to make bootcamp, by performing for the judges earlier this year and her tryout was featured, at length, on Sunday night’s episode. The deluded Welsh woman was genuinely shocked when the panel mocked her and refused to put her through to the next stage and since her appearance, many viewers have complained that she was exploited by the show. Even Lily Allen has spoken out on the subject.
It seems that Take That’s Howard Donald decided to treat himself to a little something nice…
A seaplane!
So reports The Sun who also came up with that rather groovy picture above of what Howard’s plane might look like!
However, as Howard hasn’t yet taken flying lessons, his pressie-to-self could remain in a hangar for some time yet as it’s unlikely he’ll qualify to fly solo until 2013.
The paper reports that 43-year-old Howard spent around £50,000 on the American aircraft, which can land on water as well as on a normal runway. Read more & comment »
Robbie Williams really was on form at last weekend’s Take That concert in Dublin’s Croke Park.
The whole Unreality TV team were at the gig and were one and all stunned by the stage presence and aura of the sometimes troubled performer. One of our favourite moments of the night (apart from when Robbie promised his Irish fans a free concert!) was when the newly married singer made up a little ditty for the crowd.
