Musician Gary wrote most of the band’s songs and embarked on his own solo career following their split in 1996, even working on solo projects after their reunion in 2005.

But he is now planning some time out from the music industry after Take That’s European tour next spring.

He told the Sunday People: “I am working so hard because I am planning a year off. A sabbatical.

“The last five years I have been working harder because I want to earn myself some serious time off. It might only be six months in reality but there’s stuff I want to do.

“We don’t know what is round the corner for any of us – I want to do it now.

“Things I want to do other than music that I’ve never had a chance to do.”

Take That now perform as a trio – Gary, Howard Donald, 50, and Mark Owen, 46, with Jason Orange, 48, and 44-year-old Robbie Williams being past members.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
