Robbie Williams is to rejoin Take That.

The departed fifth member is planning on joining former band mates Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald on stage during their sell-out comeback tour.

On the first night of the tour, on Sunday (23.04.06), the 'Let Me Entertain You' singer appeared in the show as a 10ft hologram.

It was confirmed last week that Robbie would perform at the group's Manchester homecoming concert but Gary has now revealed he will be doing more than one show.

He said: "I don't know which dates but he has told Mark Owen he is definitely coming back."

There is more good news for Take That fans. The group have revealed they are planning to release a new album and are hopeful Robbie will collaborate on some tracks.

Jason said: "It would be great if Rob wrote with us. We let Gary write all the songs before and he walked away with the money.

"This time it's going to be an equal split - as it should have been last time round."

Gary wants the record released by Christmas, and is confident the band can have another chart-topping festive single.

He said: "Another Christmas No1 would be perfect."
