The gay rumours were because in the 90s there was a true rumour that a boy band member was gay (quite controversial in those days). People thought it was Jason because other than his fling with Lulu when they did relight my fire in 1993 he wasn't in another serious relationship.

The rumour was a really about Stephen Gateley RIP

Jason did t like the fame lifestyle and disappeared off to India with a backpack for years.

He became quite spiritual AFAIAA.

But yeah he's the only one never to have had a long term relationship or DC's.

He'll be 51 now and is probably still very fit!

I hope we do see him again at some point.

Often see him fell running in the lakes apparently

@Ilostit

Didn’t Lulu and one of them get it on?
She got it on with Jason!

I was a huge fan back in the day. Made my mum go round to Mark Owen's house in Oldham when she went to visit my uncle in Manchester. She did it aswell bless her, took photos for me and everything Smile

ScreamingBeans · 02/04/2022 23:19

Why did I think he was gay?

Stressedout65 · 02/04/2022 23:19

@ilostit yes Lulu & Jason Orange

upperdown · 02/04/2022 23:19

His brother owns a bar in Altrincham (and Sale Sharks), I think Jason is a property developer now.

@Fizbosshoes

I paused the start but I'm loving the programme. But I dont like how it's not in any type of order. Realised that I'm nearly as old as Lulu was in relight my fire. I thought she was absolutely ancient at the time Blush (although tbf she was a similar age to my mum!)
I remember thinking that too!
teaandtoastwithmarmite · 02/04/2022 23:13

He became a recluse and wanted nothing more to do with anyone

He also acted in the mini tv series, killer net, by linda la plante
RestingMurderousFace · 02/04/2022 23:01

I've seen him around Altrincham a couple of times.

maddy68 · 02/04/2022 22:59

@Ilostit

He didn’t want to write/tour/be in music anymore; but he has no contact with others at all anymore.
That's not true. ;)

He just doesn't want to be I. Take that he is definitely in touch with the others

maddy68 · 02/04/2022 22:58

You often see him in Manchester. In Richmond tea rooms

TooBigForMyBoots · 02/04/2022 22:52

I appear to be out of touch, shows you how long it's been since I was in a hairdressers.BlushGrin

Loopytiles · 02/04/2022 22:51

OMG there’s a fan who kept a birthday cake with Take That faces on it for 24 years! (Refused to cut into their faces!)

I’m not him! Ha ha! What would I say? Could they all get together and sing Progress just once please? And maybe Pray too?! Please and thanks Jason! We miss you

VivienneDelacroix · 02/04/2022 22:50

He did not marry Catherine Tate! Grin

Wazooks · 02/04/2022 22:49

What would you say to him if he was on MN? Or are you him, OP?

Dibdobdoo · 02/04/2022 22:49

He has a holiday home in the Lake District.

BettyOBarley · 02/04/2022 22:46

He's not married to Catherine Tate. I think I read they were only together about a year.

TheArtfulBlogger · 02/04/2022 22:45

@TooBigForMyBoots

I think he's a superstar DJ, married to Catherine Tate.
That'll be news to her!
bellac11 · 02/04/2022 22:44

@TheSpottedZebra

Maybe he just wants a different life now?

Imagine if people were insisting that you still did the same job you did 25, 30 years ago!

Ha, I just said the same thing to my OH, he was banging on about how they all left and it all 'fell apart'

Jealousy of course.

Loopytiles · 02/04/2022 22:44

Great TV show. Fab songs and outlandish outfits!

DoncasterHombre · 02/04/2022 22:44

He had an affair with Eva Green and they ran away together and got married. They now shy away from publicity and go quietly about their lives as Mr and Mrs Brown.

s'true, that.
