ALEX BYWATER AT TWICKENHAM: This was, in the words of Gary Barlow, a very nice day out for English rugby fans. There were 14 home tries in front of a Twickenham crowd of 48,778. The sun shone and there was a half-time performance from Sophie Ellis-Bextor, who delivered her trademark hit.

Take That kick off their huge UK and Ireland stadium tour this weekend in Sheffield, following the success of their new album, This Life. The band's first world tour was in 1995 - when remaining members Gary Barlow , Mark Owen and Howard Donald looked drastically different. But the three musicians have transformed dramatically over the years, showing off different looks throughout their decades long career. In 2022, Mark, 52, had shocked fans by adopting a moustache and long hair while promoting his solo album. Gary, 53, meanwhile, saw his weight spiral after Take That split and his second solo album flopped in the late 90s to early 2000s. Before overhauling his diet, he weighed 17-and-half stone at his heaviest. Here, FEMAIL takes a look at how the three band members have changed their appearance in recent years...

A woman has revealed how she was catfished by a man pretending to be Gary Barlow - who turned out to be a scammer attempting to take her money. Janet Smith, 62, genuinely believed she was talking to the Take That singer for about a week, after she added him as a friend on Facebook . The fake Gary bombarded her with compliments and messages and said he had 'split up' - which Janet took to mean from his wife. But she grew suspicious and eventually convinced the scammer to reveal their true identity. The cheat said he was actually a 24-year-old man from Nigeria and was sorry for lying to the pizza restaurant worker from Colchester, Essex - but also told Janet he really did love her and continued to ask for cash.

Fans of Take That rejoiced when Mark Owen unveiled a 'baby face' look during the band's appearance on Ant and Dec.'s Saturday Night Takeaway.

Poppy was tragically born at full term on August 4 in 2012, just days before the Take That singer, 53, was forced to perform at the 2012 Olympics' closing ceremony.

It's nearly April, which means the start of cruise season. With deals spanning megaships, boutique liners, expedition vessels, and river ships, providers are fighting it out for space. Any prices have been reduced by up to half, although there are several all-inclusive restaurants that provide free drinks and chauffeur service.

On Wednesday, the actress and singer, 45, posted photos of herself with Simon Cowell (left) and Gary Barlow (top right), as she recalled her West End run of Sunset Boulevard. Nicole performed Norma Desmond in the black comedy from September 2023 to January 2024. Nicole will appear in the award-winning musical's'stripped-back' in January. She will have to reprise her Broadway role later this year, according to Revealing. Among the many people who attended her included: (top second from right), Ted Danson and his partner Mary Steenburgen, (bottom second from left), Bradley Walsh and his wife, and (bottom right) singer JoJo.

She gloried in shamelessly referring to herself as "the Ticket Queen." Maria Chenery-Woods and her family's ticket-to-work operation was not regal, but there was nothing regal about her visit. A sleepy corner of Norfolk two sisters and their partners ran a profitable and lucrative ticket selling company with the sole aim of escaping innocent citizens of the public for as much money as possible. Chenery-Woods was the 'driving power' behind TQ Tickets Ltd, selling tickets to all the top concerts and shows on ticketqueen.com. These fraudsters were not able to purchase coveted tickets for major events by no trick or ruse, presumably in the search of personal wealth. To the casual audience, Ticket Queen seemed to be a respectable company selling tickets for big name shows and concerts, including Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Elton John, Gary Barlow, Take That, Michael Bubble, Little Mix, Tom Jones, and others.

On Tuesday's episode of Celebrity Big Brother, Fern Britton described Gary Barlow as "silent dishwater" as she recalls working with him. Fern, 66, a 66-year-old man, began: 'Gary, he wrote the songs for Calendar Girls The Musical,' sat in the living room with the gang.' "Oh, I remember." Sharon Osbourne, who had left the house at the end of the episode, interjected, "I remember." Of course I do,' yes.' We were out on tour,' Fern continued.'We went out on tour.' He had no personality, and he had to drink this particular water and these particular teabags, as well as a specific blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Sharon was 'disappointing,' and Fern said: 'I'm sure he's pretty, but he was dull as dishwater.'

It's the audacity of Christian Horner that steals your breath. The brass neck and an air of absolute invincibility that has commanded him to strut around a Bahrain F1 paddock, cock of the walk, betraying no sense of personal risk when he should have known of a torrent of WhatsApp messages that will surely mean he is done. That's what calculateable wealth, influence, and adulation would do to an individual, but it's not what incalculable wealth, power, and adulation would do to an individual. Horner has lived the high life and basked in the A-lister world, having been serenaded by Gary Barlow and Rod Stewart at his own 50th birthday bash in London's Mayfair not so long ago.

As they prepare to kick off on April 13, Gary Barlow has teased one major change that may completely change Take That's performances.

Gary remarked on the Sin City's space, which uses state of the art screens and graphics, which he intends to imitate.

A boyband icon has won his own ITV travel show, which will be shot in picturesque South Africa.

Geri Horner is apparently being supported by all her Spice Girls bandmates, though her husband Christian is being accused of sexual assault. Christian, the Red Bull Formula One team's chief, was accused of 'coerce conduct' against a close female employee earlier this month. Reports in Holland have since stated that the allegations have grown deeper, with a story in the De Telegraf newspaper alleging that he sent sexual messages to the woman in question.

Gary Barlow stumbled into an on-air dispute with radio actress Kate Ritchie on Tuesday after he mistook her show Home and Away with Neighbours. When asked if he watched Home and Away, the Take That actor, 52, appeared on Nova's Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie to plan his forthcoming Australian tour. Gary, on the other hand, was unaware of how Kate Ritchie starred on the series from 1988 to 2008, and even confused it with its biggest competitor.

Christian Horner partied the night away in Mayfair, only a few weeks ago, at a surprise bash at Mount St restaurant thrown by his Spice Girl wife, Geri. It was his 50th birthday, a function marginally postponed due to his Formula One service as team principal of the Red Bull team that dominated last season, winning all but one of the 22 rounds, but the A-List supper could hardly have been merrier, as Gary Barlow, Sir Rod Stewart, and Ronnie Wood serenaded the A-List supper. Bernie Ecclestone and his Brazilian wife Fabiana Flosi were both present. The singers among the crowd sang of Happy Birthday and the half-centurion guest of honor cut the grand three-tier cake on which the legend 'World Champion' was written. Horner chuckled, 'I thought we were making a band.'

Take That, the legendary English boy band, will be heading to Australia later this year with supporting acts Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Ricki-Lee Coulter.

In the announcement, Gary Barlow said to his bandmates Howard Donald and Mark Owen, "I think we should do it again."

Lulu, a Scottish singer, 75, sets off her final tour, Champagne For Lulu, with David Bowie), reveals all about her love life and famous celebrities.
