Are you a fan of Take That? Well, if like me, you grew up with the lads (and were slightly obsessed with them), you'll be delighted to hear that they've produced a new musical called ‘The Band’, based around their hits and it’s coming to the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre!

I was lucky enough to go to Cardiff earlier on this week to see the show and I even got a chance to sit down with Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald. No biggie, just a breezy chat with the guys I wanted to marry when I was eight.

I'd love to say I was cool, calm and collected but I was absolutely bricking it beforehand and actually came out in a big stress rash on my face on the day, which wasn't ideal. Thankfully it calmed down (after I lashed a whole jar of concealer on) and off I went. 

They say never meet your heroes but those Take That lads are sound as a pound. They were so warm and friendly and were happy to chat to me about the show along with the past, the present and the future of the band. You can hear it by hitting the little yellow play button in the headline picture. 

We sent @grandantor to meet @takethat yesterday & as you can see, she had an awful time! Hear the full interview tomorrow morning on @TodayFM at 8:40! pic.twitter.com/ronghmHq6c

Listen back to the full interview now by clicking the little play button in the headline picture.  

I absolutely loved the show and if you ever followed a band religiously, you'll really enjoy 'The Band'. Bring the girls and make a night of it, you'll sing your heart out and you might even need a packet of Kleenex. It runs from November 6th - November 10th 2018 and tickets are on sale now.
