Take That reunion down to booze


Just when we thought Take That were all grown up they go ahead and prove us wrong.
We were led to believe it was the success of their 2005 documentary Take That: On The Record that encouraged Mark Owen, Gary Barlow, Jason Orange and Howard Donald to get back together.
However, it turns out the decision was down to a boozy night of vodka shots.
Owen told The Sun: "We only came back to do the ten-year documentary and to talk about what had happened and where we were now.
"And because of the feedback we got off that, people started saying would we tour again?
"And then one night me, Gary and Howard went out for a drink - and we had a couple of drinks - and we thought, 'We can do it!'
"We were in the bar singing, 'All I do each night is Pray... '
"Basically we were a bit slopped up and we phoned Jay, I think he was at a wedding, and we said, 'Jay, Jay, we've got this brilliant idea, come back.'
"So he came back from the wedding at two in the morning, we went round to Gary's house and we stayed up 'til six, envisioning it, getting all really excited.
"Then we went home and slept and then obviously when you wake up it was like, 'What have we just... What have we decided to do'"
Gary admitted: "I attribute it to booze, as does Howard. He claims: 'It was Mr Smirnoff's fault.'"
