Gary Barlow dodged a probing question about his former bandmate Robbie Williams.
The Take That singer jokingly walked out of the room in protest on Tuesday morning (January 29). The band – currently a three piece with Gary, Mark Owen and Howard Donald – appeared on Capital Breakfast to talk all about their new self-titled Netflix documentary.
And during their chat with the show’s hosts Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby, Gary decided he’d dodge a question about Robbie’s “worst song”. The pair are on good terms these days but were once reportedly in a feud.
The hilarious moment happened during a game of There’s The Door!. The celebrity is given increasingly difficult questions until they get one that’s too awkward to answer, at which point they head for the door.

When they reached the ‘Final Round’, host Jordan asked Gary: “Okay we’ve not had anyone walk out the door so far. Gary Barlow, what is the worst Robbie Williams song of all time?”
A rather uncomfortable Gary replied instantly: “Right, I’m going for the door” and saluted the studio as he went. The room erupted in laughs, with people started singing the lyrics to I Will Survive: “Go, walk out the door! Don’t turn around now…”
Jordan also revealed that comedian Peter Kay is a massive fan of the boys, and has seen them ‘over 20 times live’. Smiling, Gary recalled: “In the 90s Peter Kay was one of the security men at the MEN – and he used to make sure that by the time never forget came on, he’d worked his way down to the front of the stadium, with the yellow high vis jacket on so he could do all the moves!!”

He added that they support each other’s ventures, saying: “He’s brilliant live. We got to his stuff, he comes to our stuff… he’s just genius.”
Take That were formed in 1989 in Manchester with the original line-up of Gary, Howard, Mark, Robbie and Jason Orange. The band split in 1996 after the departure of Robbie – whose own documentary recently dropped and is currently riding high in the charts with Number One album Britpop.
The four remaining band members reunited in 2005, until Jason left in 2014 and the current trio continued. But Gary has maintained that he, Mark and Howard still have ‘great’ relationships with absent bandmates, Robbie and Jason.
Gary revealed at the London launch: “The fact that we’re all here now, and we’re all still friends and talking – even the guys who aren’t here today, we talk to them, we have relationships with them. There’s a great thing.”
He added: “And the one thing we didn’t want to happen with this is for it to undo any of those. There are healed wounds, and it is a celebration. It definitely tells you the story, but it’s also a celebration.”
