Take That's Gary Barlow hints at Robbie Williams reunion

With Take That surfing the top of the charts, frontman Gary Barlow said this week that he expects Robbie Williams to rejoin the group.

Of course, he said it vaguely.

"As long as we're alive people are going to ask if we're going to get back together and I do believe we will one day, I just don't know when," he said.

Barlow was speaking at the Paris launch of the band's new album, The Circus. He emphasised that he is often in touch with Williams and that they are "rebuilding friendships". "The five of us were together a lot over the summer and it just felt like we were back in the 1990s," he said.

Take That first broke up in 1996, not long after Robbie Williams quit the group. The boy band's youngest member, Williams went on to find tremendous success as a solo act. When Take That finally reformed in 2006, Williams refused to participate – and he is again nowhere to be heard on The Circus.

But everyone is in touch, Barlow insisted. Or at least he and bandmate Mark Owen are both on Robbie Williams's fan email list. "I get an email every week from Rob," Barlow said. "Mark gets one every other week, J [Jason Orange] phones him once a week ... It's really fun getting to know him again, I must say."

Certainly there is a lot for Owen to brag about to Williams. The Circus has enjoyed the biggest first day sales of the year and seems set for No 1 – in spite of distribution problems.

"It just feels great, it feels perfect and it feels like it could be our ultimate record, this," Barlow said. "Until the day we die we don't need any more praise - that's for sure."

Your wish is our command.
