This is a very healing time for those of us who spent Valentine's Day 1996 crying in the corner at the school disco. Why? 'Cause Take That are back on tour; proving they're still the indisputable king of boy bands and still very much able to make us weep.

heat caught up with Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald backstage on their Greatest Hits Live 2019 tour in Sheffield where they talked everything from cheese toasties to one day reuniting with Jason Orange and Robbie Williams.

Asked if there's chance three could become five again at some point, Gary told us: "I think we will. We definitely will.

"We're all just enjoying where we are at the moment, though. Rob's very happy with what he's doing. If you'd asked me in 2010, "Would the five of you get together?" I'd probably have said no, but then it happened. I think we will."

Oh, we so wanna see this.

On the topic of crazy tour bus antics, Gary reckons it's all about the...er...cheese toasties.

"We used to have a tour manager back in the days when we'd finish the show and go to a club," he explained. "We'd phone them to get the cheese toasties going on the bus for the way home."

"So rock and roll, it was," added Mark.

Yeah, sounds it 😂.
