I CAN reveal the feud between ROBBIE WILLIAMS and GARY BARLOW is finally over — after a staggering 11 years.
The original TAKE THAT line-up had an old boys’ reunion at a secret party on Tuesday.
And it is good news for the reformed band’s fans who want to see Robbie appearing on stage with his old mates during their tour.
Robbie invited MARK OWEN, HOWARD DONALD, JASON ORANGE and Gary to meet him at the swanky Conrad hotel in Chelsea Harbour, West London, next to his luxury pad.
He had Been Expecting the boys at the hotel bar shortly after their sell-out gig at Wembley Arena. But they got held up after fans hounded them for autographs after the concert and didn’t turn up until 12.45am.
As the quartet stepped off the blacked-out tour bus the whole of Take That — who had a 1993 hit with Why Can’t I Wake Up With You — had their first emotional reunion since splitting in 1995.
Robbie held out a huge olive branch to his old foe by giving him a massive hug.
Gary told me at the Newcastle gig that the Rock DJ would appear on stage for more than one date during the band’s tour. This reunion was the first chance all the lads could get to talk over the plans for Robbie’s comeback.
A source told me: “Robbie looked a bit nervous waiting for the boys. He was sat on his own at the bar in a black hoody.
“The bus pulled up outside the doors and the boys ran into the hotel one by one through the foyer and into the bar. When Gary went through Robbie stood up and they both hugged and laughed. Gary said, ‘How are you? It’s been a while . . . ’
“Over the past 11 years they have hardly spoken to each other and since the band got back together last November their only means of communication was through Mark.
“They looked quite emotional. They haven’t all been in a room all together for almost 11 years — it was like old times.” After their brief hellos the boys disappeared into a private room in the hotel to chat about the gig.
And I reckon they had a lot to discuss with Robbie’s “surprise” appearance coming up.
JORDAN and PETER ANDRE had been sat in the bar watching the reunion unfold.
And Gary’s wife Dawn — who is a dancer on the tour — invited them to join the exclusive bash.
A source said: “All the old crew mates joined them for the mini celebration. It was like they were easing Robbie back into to the gang for when he goes on stage with them.”
Did anyone else go 'AWWWWW'? Or is it just me being a big softie? I love it when people make up. 'Bout time too!! Trust Jordan to be there though. It'll be in her next b***** biography.
