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

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!)

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 02/04/2022 23:13

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

I remember thinking that too!

Didn’t Lulu and one of them get it on?

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

Stressedout65 · 02/04/2022 23:19

@ilostit yes Lulu & Jason Orange

ScreamingBeans · 02/04/2022 23:19

Why did I think he was gay?

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

Often see him fell running in the lakes apparently

felulageller · 02/04/2022 23:25

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.

FabFitFifties · 02/04/2022 23:30

I didn't think so at the time, but I can see now he was quite handsome. Mark was beautiful - I can't believe how badly he has aged 😢

Jason is just stunning. Gary has aged the best.

A very very long ago ex of mine went to school with Gary Barlow. Gary’s girlfriend and my ex’s girlfriend were close friends. My ex’s girlfriend cheated on my ex with Jason Orange.

That’s my own six degrees of separation Take That story.

@DoncasterHombre

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.

This took me a minute 😂

Oh I miss him so very much too but sometimes people just change their mind & want to do different things instead of entertaining us lot 24/7. I wish him well wherever he is now & whatever he's doing .

ExpulsoCorona · 03/04/2022 00:19

Why didn't he take the lead in more songs? I spent years thinking he couldn't sing and then heard him on 'How did it come to this?' and I was astounded.

Fizbosshoes · 03/04/2022 00:38

Gary gets better and better with age , (I don't know if he's had help?) but from being the favourite and the cutest when they were first around, , i agree, Mark doesn't seem to have aged as well as the others. (But I feel v mean saying that!)

Not wanting to be in a band and go on tour, living out of a suitcase, away from your family, doesn’t make you a recluse. Living in the countryside, having a quiet life doesn’t make you a recluse. He retired from his job and moved somewhere quiet, like many others do.

When did the rest of the band learn to play instruments?

RainbowMum11 · 03/04/2022 01:01

Well he did quit the band completely.

His Mum was on there though so he probably made the decision to not be involved - fair enough, surely.

Puppylucky · 03/04/2022 01:20

Jason obviously liked older women - he also had a thing with Paula Yates

MrsTerryPratchett · 03/04/2022 01:23

He was the only one I could stomach and from this thread, seems I was right.

SENstuff · 03/04/2022 01:35

@Ilostit

He married Catherine Tate?! I thought he was Gay!
He’s definitely not gay; my (female) friend dated him for just over a year!
