Take That's Mark Owen has said that if Robbie Williams does ever join them again for a live performance, it would most likely be a last minute, unplanned kind of thing.
Owen said: "With Rob, it would be an unannounced thing. You might get a phone call one afternoon saying he was going to come along and see the show that night, or to hang out. I've got a feeling that halfway through the show we might get a message on stage to say that he wanted to come on stage and sing a song. I don't think it would ever be a prepared, organised thing".
He added: "I don't want this tour to be about 'Will he, won't he?', you know. The nice thing for me is that we're seeing Rob, and it's nice that we're all in contact with each other. I don't want people turning up each night thinking 'Is tonight the night?'. If he does turn up, it'll be a nice surprise, but I don't want to build on that".
Elsewhere, the normally rather nice members of Take That have been getting a bit nasty. Speaking about Britney Spears' performance on 'X Factor' last Saturday, Gary Barlow said: "I don't see the point of Britney anymore, she was rubbish on the show. I think she's more famous than she deserves to be now. The truth is all the contestants on 'X Factor' are so talented and were able to sing and dance live, so why couldn't Britney do it?"
Howard Donald added: "It's the whole point of the show and her miming looked stupid".
