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.

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.
