Thank you @Sweetnhappy1 :-)

Ilostit yes - sorry, poor use of the word ‘ace’ by me! More a comment on the chaos that a child could cause and how no one seemed to dare tackle her because of who she was. She was later a bridesmaid to Eugiene and I wondered if she’d ever been told off for her behaviour and what she would do there if she was still the same.

I always fondly remember the time my friend and I really sat down and took notice of TT on TOTP or something and she clocked JO and exclaimed: “Hot sex, look at him!!”

So that’s what I have to say whenever I see a clip of JO. Grin

I met him in a club 20 odd years ago , he was very attractive. I always loved Howard

@Thesummeriwas16

What was this programme you all watched last night please???
@Thesummeriwas16 There were two programmes on BBC2 last night. If you go on to iPlayer and search for Take That, you should be able to find both.

Isn’t he the one that rides bikes and drives rally cars?
No that's Howard.

Showing my age now but anyone remember a reality TV show from 1994 about students in Manchester? He had a fling with one of the students in that, apparently. Karen I think her name was.

I was a student at the time with friends in Manchester who knew some of the people in that house. Can't remember her name but remember the rumours.

The overwhelming signs?

I never saw any signs.

I was a big fan and still am but I read Gary's autobiography and (v sorry) but I though it was quite dull like a diet/healthy eating manual! So I think he does take care of himself in terms of eating well and fitness....But it's still feasible he had botox/hair/teeth fixed.
Howard was always my fave and I think he's aged well.
I think its quite refreshing that Jason stepped out of the public eye at the height of his fame. (Now none of us can critique how well he's aged! Blush)

Robbie Williams mother looked amazing. Don’t know how old she is but he’s almost 50.
I thought that too.

@felulageller

Gary has definitely had help with his looks. His teeth are done. He's also much slimmer, unlike almost everyone who's fatter in their 50s than in their teens. So some lipo.

Mark always had the kind of face than lined when he smiled and he had deep set eyes which wrinkle more easily. He also liked a bit of a (real) suntan so it all adds up. He is 50 now and has 3 DC's so plenty of sleepless nights.

Between them all they've had a lot of DC's! 14.

I don’t think he has surgery. Maybe Botox or facial treatments etc. He takes his diet and exercise routines very seriously these days. Did post on his Instagram about them. Lots of workouts and yoga. Lots of really healthy food. Which funnily enough they used to tease Jason about back in the 1990s when he was very spiritual and eating nuts and seeds etc.( big take that fan back in the day) Mark has aged but he lives a very carefree style life and recently moved to California. I don’t think he really cares much about his appearance that much. Jason’s twin brother owns at least one restaurant but never really heard much about Jason which is probably exactly what he wanted. I’m sure he is fine and dandy living the life he wants away from the spotlight. I don’t think he was gay either. Had relationships that weren’t all over the Media as did most of the band.

Aye, because a man in his 50s can’t possibly just take care of himself.

Gary was bulimic and eventually got help in getting better and becoming healthy again. He runs a lot and puts videos on Instagram of him exercising.

For those who like Jason's voice, check out Wooden Boat which was a hidden song on the Beautiful World album.

@WomanStanleyWoman I don't think you know what 'overwhelming' means Grin

Why did I think he was gay?

@Justfivemoreminutesplease

I was never a TT fan but some years ago I (literally) bumped into Robbie and his family shopping in Selfridges and was struck by how beautiful he was. His daughter would have been 3 or 4 at the time and was also ace, pulling all the clothes off the shelves and basically causing havoc Grin
Hardly ace? One of them should have told her off! Wonder what she is like as a teenager!

Thanks to the poster who linked to the How Did It Come To This? Don't know this soong, thought it was great and, yes, he can really sing.
Watched the programme last night, was interesting.

Justfivemoreminutesplease · 03/04/2022 09:26

Yes….it was that which made me first notice them all, as I wondered who on earth was causing this chaos and shop assistants were just laughing and letting her get on with it. Mum was there just ignoring her, and carried on trying on coats. Robbie was there stood back with a security guard.

I've a suspicion that would have been a great less charming if she'd been a non-sleb 4-year-old, in Primark 🙄

'He also acted in the mini tv series, killer net, by linda la plante'

That was 25 years ago.

southeastdweller · 03/04/2022 09:17

He was always my favourite, an absolutely gorgeous guy and always seemed genuine which is why I agree with a PP that he probably left TT because of the tax debacle, which he wasn’t involved with.

neonorchid · 03/04/2022 09:08

I've always been a big Gary fan but after watching last night I can't believe I overlooked Jason. He's a very good looking man.
Gary has definitely had work, I think he's had some kind of hair transplant, definitely teeth.
