Robbie Williams is reportedly getting ready to perform with Take That, at the Royal Albert Hall in London tomorrow night.
The singer, who originally quit the group in 1995, is said to be ‘thrilled’ at the prospect of rejoining the band at the Children In Need gig, organised by Gary Barlow.
“The reunion is go. Robbie is utterly thrilled about it. He’s been dreaming of performing with Take That again for years and now it’s going to happen,” a source told The Sun.
Jonathan Ross welcomes Take That to this week’s Friday Night With Jonathan Ross on BBC One.
The group talk about their next album – Gary Barlow says: “we haven’t started yet… we’re really looking forward to trying again.”
And Gary also explains how they still can’t believe their renewed success: “We’re genuinely surprised… trying to keep up with it all. This for us is enormous.”
The Royal Variety Performance 2008 is to air this Wednesday night on BBC One. The show celebrates its 80th anniversary as it returns to the London Palladium with a roster of stars from the worlds of music, comedy and theatre, performing in the presence of the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall. Headlining the annual charity event are comeback kings Take That, while R’n'B star Rihanna prepares to take a bow alongside songstresses Duffy, Leona Lewis and the Pussycat Dolls.
That all sounds great, but really all I am interested in watching are the gorgeous Take That, pictured arriving at the awards ceremony which was filmed on Friday night. Do those men get more gorgeous by the day?

There is no real reason for me posting this video clip other than to encourage other hormonal Take That fans to drool over the most gorgeous band in the world.

Imagine my glee tonight, when watching Friday Night With Jonathan Ross as usual, he introduces my favourite band of all time, Take That.
I’m still on a bit of a TT high, after attending the opening night of their Beautiful World tour in Belfast last week. I just can’t get enough of them at the minute.
However, each and every time I see Take That being interviewed I can’t help thinking that the boys should stick to the singing and dancing. They perform on stage with such finesse, yet put them on a couch of a popular chat show and they become more wooden than the tree in my back garden! Maybe the boys do need Robbie Williams back after all, they could have done with some of his charisma in the JR studio tonight.
Can I also state how much sympathy I have for Gary Barlow who must be rituallly abused and taunted by Jonathan Ross about his weight issues each time he has a single to release. It would be enough to make me never want to sing again!
