Yes! Robbie to RETURN in honour of Take That’s 25th anniversary

If you've been a die-hard Take That fan for as long as you can remember, you'll know that you've had endure some serious ups and downs with those boys.

From Robbie's shock departure in 1995 to the band parting ways one year later, fans were left devastated until the lads reunited minus Robbie Williams in 2006 and the music industry fell all over themselves as they got their heads (and ears) around the lads' new mature sound.

And while Robbie did hop back on the bandwagon in 2010, fans were dealt another blow when Mark, Howard and Gary were left to record their seventh album in 2014 without Jason and Robbie.

But it looks like the band's fast approaching birthday has caused a major change of heart in Robbie who is reportedly on board for a Take That reunion.

Speaking to The Sun, Howard admitted that the same couldn't be said for Jason, explaining: "We've been in touch with Jason and we've been in touch with Robbie. Jason is in his place where he is now and he's not got any ­intention at the moment to be back in the band."

"Whereas Robbie – we've been talking to Robbie about it, and it might be that if we do a 25th anniversary album, that we do some co-writing or some extra tracks on that," Howard continued.

Saying the words every Take That fan has been longing to hear, Mark added: "In our minds at the moment there's an intention to do some new tracks, a greatest hits and a tour, then we'll see. I think it would be nice to do something with him."

Girls, it's what we've been waiting for.
