Take That singer Gary Barlow has said he sees the band being a four-piece again in the future.

The group have reunited as a five-some with Robbie Williams for new album 'Progress' and their forthcoming UK stadium tour.

But during an appearance on BBC Radio 2 this morning, Barlow said it wouldn't be a permanent move.

“I think even moving forward, I know we’re back with Rob right now, but we still see our future as a four piece band,” he said.

“We see Take That as a four piece band in general.”

Barlow co-hosted the Radio 2 Breakfast Show with Chris Evans this morning ahead of his 40th birthday tomorrow (January 20).

As previously reported, Barlow is set to play London's Shepherds Bush Empire tomorrow.

Friends, family and fans will see the singer perform songs spanning his 20 year career. The concert will also be broadcast live on BBC Radio 2 from 8-10pm.
