Jason doesn't want Robbie back for good

A sensational return to Take That by Robbie Williams could be scuppered after Jason Orange revealed the band is split on a decision to take him back.

A future with Orange? Jason confessed to mixed views

Talk of Robbie rejoining has been rife after the singer admitted this week he would "love" to link up with the former boyband again.

And Gary Barlow appeared to open the door for his return today when he said: "The band has been having great fun with Robbie over the last few months - it's been really good getting to know him again."

But Jason, 38, has confessed there are mixed views within the band on the return of Robbie, who quit to go solo in 1995 after a series of rows. He said: "We have different opinions on that. It could only be if he was fit and able. Who knows, but let's just say we have differing views on Robbie coming back."

Jason's comments were in contrast to the views of Gary, 37, who penned the band's hits including Back For Good. Barlow said: "He [Robbie] has sorted himself out and is in a really good place at the moment. It's great news that he's decided to come back to the UK.

"I've always loved working here and wouldn't want to be anywhere else - and I've been telling Robbie for a while now that he needs to move back. He's got a lot of unfinished business here."

Robbie, 34, revealed this week he was preparing to return to the UK after living in Los Angeles for five years, and he has bought a £7m house in Wiltshire.

He wrote in his blog: "I'd love to be in the band again, but I've got unfinished business of my own. I'd like to think we'd be the only band in the history of music to get together because of artistic differences."

Take That have enjoyed huge success since reforming and their album, The Circus, is currently at No 1.
