Howard Donald proves he's still got it as he shows off impressive physique on the beach in Barbados

He was one of the fittest members of Take That and needed no excuse to show off his six-pack.

And while Howard Donald might be a little softer round the middle, he proved that he's still as sexy as he was all those years ago.

Donald, 42, showed off an impressive physique yesterday as he strolled the beach in Barbados.

Hot stuff: Howard Donald shows he's still got it as he walks the beach in Barbados with girlfriend Katie Halil

Accompanied by his girlfriend Katie Halil, he walked the surf on the Caribbean island in a pair of long shorts and white-rimmed sunglasses.

Also joining him was daughter Grace, 11, and one of Gary Barlow's daughters.

He looked relaxed as he basked in the sun, as he put last month's troubles behind him.

His ex-lover Adakini Ntuli opened up about their illicit relationship after a 'super-injunction' he was granted against her was lifted.

She revealed that during their nine year relationship, he cheated on both mothers of his two children with Ntuli.

Howard has joined Barlow, and other Take That stars Mark Owen and Jason Orange for New Year in Barbados with their families.

Notably absent from the party was newly-reunited member Robbie Williams who is probably in Los Angeles with his new bride Ayla Fields.

Take That will be making the most of the break before rehearsals for their summer tour start in the new year.

Too many kids: Take That children causing Jason Orange a Christmas headache

There are now so many kids attached to the fully-reunited manband Take That, that Jason Orange tells me he's not even attempting to buy presents for them all this Christmas.

Gary Barlow is dad to three, Mark Owen a dad-of-two as is Howard Donald.

Jason and Robbie Williams are the only members of the fivesome not yet to become dads.

And Jason says that with a huge family of his own here in Manchester to buy for, the Take That offspring don't make the giftlist.

He said: “I've got five brothers of my own so lots of people to buy for at Christmas, so I don't tend to buy presents for them [bandmate's kids].”

He joked: “Maybe they'll all get presents from me for their 18th birthdays though.”

TAKE THAT - THE FLOOD & SOS on THE ROYAL VARIETY PERFORMANCE 2010

More success for Progress

Take That continue to dominate the Official Album Chart, as they enter a fourth week at the number one spot with Progress.

The ongoing success of Progress is remarkable, with the album selling over a million copies since it's release, making it the biggest selling album of the year so far.

Here's what Martin Talbot, managing director of the Official Charts Company had to say about the guys success:

"Take That have really made the Christmas albums market their own this year...and it's all the more impressive given the competition from Michael Buble's Crazy Love (at number two) and Olly Murs self-titled Olly Murs (at number three) each selling over 100,000 copies this week alone."

A huge thank you goes out to everyone who has bought the album so far!

GB’s 40!! Gary Barlow 40th Birthday Show For Charity

Gary Barlow will celebrate his 40th Birthday on January 20th 2011 with a special show at Shepherd's Bush Empire for family, friends and fans. The event, titled GB40, will see Gary perform songs that span a fantastic 20 year career in a small and intimate setting with profits from the show going to charity. The concert will provide an exceptional opportunity for a small number of fans to enter a ticket lottery which, if lucky, will allow them to join Gary in commemorating his special day doing what he loves doing best.

Take That have sold over 30 million albums and 7 million tour tickets over the course of their career, with their recent reunion being one of the most talked about events of the last few years. Gary Barlow's contribution to the band, as well as to British Music as a whole has been unquestionable and his reputation as a singer, songwriter, pianist and performer is undeniable.

This time Gary takes to the stage on his own for the first time in over eleven years and will perform songs from his successful career as one of the UK's most distinguished singer/songwriters. He will be backed by a band made up of close friends and acquaintances he's met along the way helping make it a night to remember, with profits from the night going to charity.

There are two ways fans can get to see this unique one-off show:

Lottery:
Fans will be given a chance to buy tickets through a lottery. Registration for the lottery starts at 9am on Tuesday 14th December 2010 and winners will be selected overnight on Wednesday and then be informed from 9am Thursday 16th. The successful applicants will have until noon Friday 17/12 to buy their tickets (£45 each - limited to a pair per person) after which they will be released.

Auction:
Auction sales open at noon on Thursday 16th December and will shut at noon on Monday 20/12. There are tickets on three levels of the venue and the best tickets will be allocated to the highest bidders.

Progress to a million sales

A million album sales later ... Take That

TAKE THAT have millions in the bank and now they've sold a MILLION copies of latest album Progress.

The manband smashed the sales barrier at the weekend - the only artists to do so this year.

GARY, ROBBIE, MARK, HOWARD and JASON are at the top of the album charts for the fourth week after shifting more than 200,000 CDs in the last seven days.

They have owned this Christmas market, leaving big names including WESTLIFE and JLS trailing.

MICHAEL BUBLE is at No2 with Crazy Love and OLLY MURS is down to No3 despite selling more than 100,000 copies of his self-titled debut collection this week.

Olly got an email from Robbie Williams apologising for keeping his album away from the top.

Olly said: "I don't mind. If you're going to lose out, it's best to lose out to them."

An email is nice, although he'd prefer a pint.
