Mark Owen relaxes on a family holiday after gruelling Circus tour

After performing a string of energetic concerts for Take That's Circus tour, bandmember Mark Owen is taking a well-earned summer holiday.
The Mancunian singer, 37, and his actress partner Emma Ferguson brought their two children Elwood Jack and Willow Rose for a relaxing break in Mauritius.
As Mark's fair-skinned girlfriend stayed in the shade with their eight-month-old daughter Willow, the pop star larked around in the sea with toddler Elwood, who turns three next month.

Clearly not fond of blistering heat, the family chose to visit the Indian Ocean island during its winter, which sees Mauritius enjoy a balmy average temperature of 21 degrees - cooler than Mark's native England has been in recent weeks.
Arriving on the beach, Mark stripped down to a pair of swimming trunks before dressing Elwood in an aqua suit to protect his fair skin.
Revelling in fatherhood, Mark was all smiles as he threw a delighted Elwood in the air as they played in the surf.

Take That wanted to take the Circus tour to Europe, but found the spectacular large set would be too expensive to transport overseas.
After the tour ended, Mark's bandmate Gary Barlow and his wife Dawn took their three children to California for a family break.


Mark, Gary, Howard Donald and Jason Orange are preparing to go back into the studio later this year to record their sixth studio album.
Gary said: 'We will take a break after the tour then start writing again for the next album in autumn - it would be stupid to stop now wouldn't it?'
