What is the Take That announcement as new clues hint at epic return

Take That fans are on tenterhooks with the beloved band set to make a huge announcement this morning.

The band's logo has appeared on stadiums across the UK overnight, appearing to tease a new tour is on the way.

Venues where the famous T's have appeared include Manchester's Etihad Stadium, Cardiff's Principality Stadium, Glasgow's Hampden Park, Sunderland's Stadium of Light, and St Mary's Stadium in Southampton

All will be revealed later today when the group make an official announcement later on today. Naturally eager fans have been in overdrive on social media speculating as to what the news could be.

Videos of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen have been dropped on the band's Instagram throughout the week. The trio are seen dressed up like circus performers in striped tops, braces and loose fit trousers as they are seen getting ready for a show.

This has led some to believe the news is a 20th anniversary revival of The Circus tour, which followed their album of the same name in 2006.

Others have been praying for the news that former bandmates Jason Orange and Robbie Williams could be making a comeback.

Robbie Williams quit Take That in July 1995, partway through the band's Nobody Else world tour. Following his departure, the remaining members completed the tour before the group disbanded in February 1996.

He then rejoined in 2010 to record the album Progress and joined the band for the Progress Live tour. He left a year later to focus on his solo career once again.

While Jason Orange officially announced his departure from the band Take That on September 28, 2014, stating he no longer wished to commit to recording and promoting new music after The Progress Tour. He confirmed his decision at a band meeting, insisting that there were no "fallings out" with his bandmates.

Jason has shied away from the limelight after quitting the band.

Describing Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen as his “brothers”, Jason said he told them during a band meeting that he wanted out. “I know how much Mark, Gary and Howard enjoy writing and making music, and they know that they have my full support and encouragement to continue on with what is to be another chapter for the band," he said.

“I think he felt he didn’t want to do it any more,” Mark explained of Jason's decision to leave. “But I’m not going to speak for him.

”He's still here anyway. The other day we were trying to work out who the best joke-teller in the band is and remembered how Jason always laughed before he got to the punchline,” he said in an interview The Times.
