GARY BARLOW’S PROTéGéE CAMILLA KERSLAKE PLANS TO JOIN ROBBIE WILLIAMS ON TAKE THAT’S NEXT

GARY Barlow’s classical protégée Camilla Kerslake plans to join Robbie Williams on Take That’s next album. The London beauty, 21, is so eager to make sweet music with my favourite manband – who will also be joined by the Robster, 36 – that she’s offered her services as a acking singer.

She told me: “I’m trying to get on the new Take That album. What I think would be really cool is if I did backing singing for them.

“It would be incredible, but because Gary is very professional I haven’t mentioned it to him.”

But when Camilla met Rob in the studios she came close to causing him Supreme pain which could have prevented him from being Back For Good in the music charts.

She explained: “I’ve met Robbie quite a few times and have managed to touch him.

“The first time I met him I was brushing my hair because there were lots of paparazzi outside.

“He went to shake my hand but I was still holding my comb.

“He may have hurt his hand because he went and shook it anyway. He didn’t let on if it was painful.”

Camilla is now gearing up to perform with posh boyband Blake at the Classical BRITs at London’s Royal Albert Hall on May 13.

But even though she’s quaking in her heels about being nominated for Album of the Year you won’t find her necking back champers to ease the nerves.

Camilla said: “I wasn’t nervous until I saw that 23million people watch the Classical BRITs.

“Being an opera singer means zero alcohol and early nights because booze ruins your voice.

I wish I was a pop star because I wouldn’t have to worry about any of that.”

OWEN THE LONELY

TROUBLED MARK OWEN cuts a lonely figure as he takes a solitary stroll to the shops.

The TAKE THAT star looked deep in thought during his two-hour wander.

MARK OWEN'S WIFE
Taking him Back For Good? ... Emma without her wedding ring

Mark, 38 - battling to save his marriage to wife EMMA after admitting ten affairs to The Sun - sported a chunky cardigan and boots despite the warm weather in London.

Another walker said: "He kept his head down and looked pensive and pale. He didn't want to make eye contact with anyone."

Mark checked into booze rehab in March but is back living with Emma, 33, and their children Elwood, three, and one-year-old Willow Rose.

He has kept his wedding ring on throughout. But Emma - snapped the same day talking on her phone - is yet to put hers back on.

Mark later picked up two bags of groceries at a branch of Sainsbury's - bearing the slogan: "I'm in it for life."

Emma has agreed not to divorce him for the sake of their kids. But they have put on hold plans to move from their home in Wandsworth, South West London, to a larger place.

Gary Barlow signs UK rapper to label

Gary Barlow has unveiled the latest artist to be signed to his Future Records label.

London rapper Aggro Santos is the second artist to join Barlow's label after he signed classical singer Camilla Kerslake last year.

Santos confirmed the news to the Daily Star, suggesting: "I should write his vocal and he should write my rap and see what comes up."

Asked whether he would feature on the new Take That album, he replied: "I'd love to get on it. Gary's a fan of mine and I'm equally respectful of his writing."

Santos releases new single 'Candy', which features ex-Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt, on May 3.

Could it be magic? Tories sign up Gary Barlow to push plans for X Factor-style singing competition for schools

David Cameron has enlisted singer Gary Barlow to boost his campaign - joining forces with the singer to unveil plans for an X Factor-style competition in schools.

Under the School Stars scheme, children will compete to win the chance to record a song with the Take That star.

Singers, bands and musicians will take part in school, county and regional heats in three age groups, with the winners competing in a grand national final once a year. Mr Barlow said: 'The future of music is in every classroom in the country.'

Asked if he was backing Mr Cameron, he added: 'I wouldn't be here otherwise. I support David.'

Unveiling the plans at a school in Nantwich, Cheshire, Mr Cameron said the plans would encourage young people to 'follow their dreams'.

The scheme, which will cost £1million, will enlist industry professionals as judges.

Before Barlow took to the stage, two pupils - Zoe Conning, 15, and Kitty Dolan, 13 - entertained the special guests with their own singing and guitar playing.

Mr Cameron later joked: 'Last night, on the TV debate, I felt a bit like I was in Britain's worst boyband - so it's a pleasure to share the stage with the founding member of Britain's best ever boyband.'

He then listed some of his favourite music, which included Take That.

He said: 'When I want to be lifted, then I think Greatest Day is a wonderful song.

'If you feel down, if you feel depressed... Greatest Day, what a fantastic song to lift you, and I think Gary showed that today.'

Mr Cameron said there were economic and social reasons for the competition, but most importantly it was 'fun'.

He said School Stars would see 'kids practising together in the corridors, forming bands and getting together in their lunch breaks'.

He added: 'It's my hope that by doing the brave thing and getting up on stage more and more young people are going to be invested with self belief, the belief that they can be something, that they can play a part and make a difference.

'But more important than the economic reason or the social reason for doing this is the fun reason.

'Music is one of those things that is just a joy in itself and an end in itself. There is nothing like making something beautiful out of thin air.

'I want thousands or kids to realise that the best entertainment isn't what you download on YouTube, it's the stuff you make yourself.

'So that's why we're doing School Stars.

'I really hope this takes off and that these contests become as much a part of school life as harvest festival or the nativity play or sports day.

'It's as simple as this - more good music in our schools is good for the British economy, it's good for our society and it's good for the soul.'

Gary: Robbie reunion inevitable

Gary Barlow has said it is "inevitable" Robbie Williams will perform with Take That again.

Speaking to pupils at Brine Leas High School in Nantwich, Cheshire, the singer suggested he foresaw a reunion.

Asked whether Take That would work with Robbie, he said: "We'll see. I think it's inevitable one day we'll get back together."

Gary was launching an X Factor-style singing competition for pupils, School Stars, with Tory leader David Cameron.

Robbie left Take That in 1995 but speculation has been rife that they will work together once more.

The Bodies singer has already said in a Radio 2 interview he and the group have been in the studio together, although it is unclear whether anything from the session will see the light of day. And they shared a stage at a Children In Need concert late last year.

General Election 2010: Gary Barlow unveiled as David Cameron backer

Take That star Gary Barlow joined David Cameron on the campaign trail today as the Tories launched plans for an X Factor-style singing competition for schools.

The band's frontman was greeted by screaming schoolchildren as he arrived with the Tory leader at Brine Leas High School, in Nantwich, Cheshire.

His arrival came as the Tories said they would launch a national ''School Stars'' competition to encourage musical achievement among young people.

Backed by senior figures from the music industry, it is aimed at giving young people a chance to shine.

Barlow confirmed he would be supporting the Tories at the election.

"I would not be here if I was not," the singer said.

But he stressed he did not want to go into detail as today's event was about music, not politics.

Mr Barlow said he missed the debate last night as he was at a Music Week dinner, but was "looking forward to watching it tonight".

Barlow: "Inevitable" Robbie will rejoin Take That





We're all kinds of mixed up about Mark Owen getting back with his wife

On the one hand, it's nice for all concerned if Mark Owen's reunion with his wife Emma earlier this week went reasonably well, but on the other... well, we're not sure if it's a good idea or not. But that's their business. We're just here to tell you about it.
According to friends of the couple, Emma has taken Mark back - but warned him that it's a "one strike and you're out" situation. "Mark has done his time and is itching to get out and resume family life," is the word from the secret source. "He has not touched alcohol in five weeks and has done a lot of navel gazing as well as receiving serious professional counsel. Emma knows he is a great dad and has agreed to give their marriage one more crack on the proviso he behaves himself, doesn’t so much as look at another woman and attends marriage counselling as and when. Mark has agreed to all terms."

But just because Mark's stopped putting his willy in other ladies, it doesn't mean he'll be keeping it tucked away just below that dolphin tattoo - apparently he's now all broody: "He has even suggested they try for another baby to cement their relationship. Another influence was Gary Barlow, who has been an absolute rock for both Emma and Mark. He has been happily married for ten years and has been advising his bandmate, telling him to pull his socks up. It was the talking to he needed."

So, Mark's going to become as boring as Gary, then. Er, great. Oh well, we've still got Jason and Howard to keep things a bit sexy...

Mark reunited with wife

TAKE That's Mark Owen is seen out with his wife for the first time since he went to booze rehab following revelations of his serial affairs.

The pin-up, 38, looked glum as he strolled in the sun with redhead Emma - who is still not wearing her wedding ring - and their two children.

Mark, who WAS wearing his ring, pushed a buggy as 33-year-old Emma - mother of son Elwood, three, and daughter Willow Rose, one - walked several paces ahead of him.

The singer, whose Take That hits include Back For Good, was seen over the weekend as the family walked in Wandsworth, South West London.

After admitting he had numerous affairs Mark Owen pictured for the  first time back with his wife and family after finishing his stint in  rehab.

Last month Mark confessed to The Sun how he cheated on Emma with ten women, and told how he had been fighting a serious drink problem for ten years.

He promised he would change, and checked into rehab to beat his drunkenness.

Emma agreed not to divorce him for the sake of their kids - but the pair have put on hold plans to move to a larger home.

Mark Owen back for good with wife

Love-rat Mark Owen has been taken back for good by his long-suffering wife, The People can reveal.

And friends say the Take That idol is overjoyed he's been given a new start by Emma - even though he cheated on her with at least 10 women.

Mark, 38, has spent the past month battling booze problems at a secret rehab clinic after admitting the flings.

And pals feared mum-of-two Emma, 33, had ditched him for ever after she repeatedly shunned his desperate pleas to visit him.

But a source close to Mark said last night: "As far as a return home goes the phrase is 'the door is ajar' "Emma feels he's done everything he can to make it up to her and she has made sure he's learnt his lesson.

"Mark now has a genuine opportunity to move back in and show he's changed his ways.

"They're committed to making this work so everyone's hoping they can patch things up.

"But make no mistake - they know they face a long journey to get things back on track."

The source went on: "Their kids are at the centre of their thoughts.

"Emma believes she and Mark have to do everything they can to stay together and give them the best upbringing they can.

"And Mark is very much aware of his responsibilities as a dad and husband." The insider added: "Emma needed time to herself to work out what would be best for her children.

"She has gone through every emotion and there were times when the future of their marriage was in severe Emma doubt."

Mark has he can to Mark will now return to the plush London home he shares with Emma and their children Elwood, four, and Willow Rose, one, when he finally leaves rehab.

The couple - who have been together for six years - held crisis talks last week over the explosive revelations of Mark's drink-fuelled romps with a string of Take That fans.

Multi-millionaire Mark first fell for actress Emma, who has appeared in TV hits Doctors and The Bill, after they met in 2004.

They got engaged two years later and married in church in Scotland last November.

But the pair looked to be destined for the divorce courts just four weeks ago after Mark's cheating confession which stunned the legions of adoring women who had always believed in the fresh-faced star's goody-goody image.

After coming clean to heartbroken Emma about his serial cheating, Mark made a tearful public apology.

He sobbed: "I'm really sorry. Emma's really strong and I know she will do what's right for her and the kids.

"I support that and I really appreciate that.

"She loved me - she still does me - and I have let her down.

"You realise what you have done when you face up to it and the mistakes you have made."

Since then Mark - a former winner of C4's Celeb Big Brother - has been helped by his exbandmate Robbie Williams who has also had drink problems.

Howard set to hit the Wright spot

Take That star Howard Donald will be putting his recent love-life woes behind him with a trip to Dublin.

The Diary can reveal how the boyband member, who was rocked by reports that he bedded a Dutch beauty while in a relationship, is jetting to Ireland next month.

He has been signed up as the latest big name to take to the decks in the Wright Venue in Swords, following in the footsteps of stars including 50 Cent and Seb Fontaine.

Howard (41) will be adding some zeros to his bank account after agreeing to perform a two-hour set in the northside club on April 23.

"He's coming over for the night to do a set in the club for a few hours and he's really excited about it. It will be his first time in the club and they're expecting a big crowd of Take That fans on the night," said a source.

The singer was recently the subject of claims that he was unfaithful to the mother of his young daughter. The reports came hot on the heels of revelations about Howard's bandmate Mark Owen who admitted he cheated on his wife, Emma, with more than 10 women.

Owen has spent the past two weeks in a private clinic battling his booze problem in a bid to save his marriage and said he wants to stay in for another week.
