So as far as anyone knows, he's single?
Asking for a mate like.Wink

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.

Redbluelellow · 03/04/2022 08:13

I'm so shocked by his voice I didn't realise he could sing like that either

Faevern · 03/04/2022 08:38

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

SellFridges · 03/04/2022 08:40

He’s always preferred a quiet life. He didn’t get up to much 1996-2005. 100% he left because of the tax debacle though.

They should all have given it up after Progress anyway. I’m a huge fan. Been to every tour since the early nineties, watched solo stuff in dingy pubs, front row at Knebworth kind of big fan, and I am not sure I could be bothered going to watch them again. It’s like a tribute act (albeit one with great production values).

BalladOfBarryAndFreda · 03/04/2022 08:43

Howard & Jason were always my bag. The quiet dancers. Bloody gorgeous.

Sparklingbrook · 03/04/2022 08:47

I find TT really irritating but not sure why. I watched some of the show last night and also though the songs were ion a very random order.
Can't get past Mark Owen and his ten affairs though.

rugbunch · 03/04/2022 08:49

He was/is really good looking, I didn't realise when I was a teen.

mumofEandE · 03/04/2022 08:51

Always thought that it was ironic how Gary has aged the best (if he has had work then it's good!) when back in the day people were so rude about what he looked like!

JackieWeaverHandforthCouncil · 03/04/2022 09:00

Jason is 100% not gay. He massively tried it on with me in the late 90s (and I was shy so ran off to the bogs) and I am definitely not a bloke!

I remember when Mark had dozens of affairs but it got brushed under the carpet because it came out around the same time Ashley Cole cheated on Cheryl so he became enemy Number 1.

I loved Mark as a teenager but now I think I would choose Jason or Gary out of them all. Great to hear all the little stories on here. Sadly was only allowed to see them once as a teen. I cried. Seen them a couple of times since then.

Yes the songs were in a weird order! Mark and Robbie just seemed to act a bit naughty a lot of the time.

10 affairs!! Wow!!

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.

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.

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.

Justfivemoreminutesplease · 03/04/2022 09:20

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

LetHimHaveIt · 03/04/2022 09:21

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

That was 25 years ago.

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

efeslight · 03/04/2022 09:31

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.

Hardly ace? One of them should have told her off! Wonder what she is like as a teenager!

Why did I think he was gay?
The overwhelming signs?

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

Sux2buthen · 03/04/2022 09:47

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

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.

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.
