Robbie 'ready to get back' with Take That

Robbie Williams is poised for a dramatic return to Take That, according to his mother, who called it "something he wanted".

Williams, 33, left the group in 1995 blaming frayed relationships with bandmates Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald. He then snubbed the group last year when they reformed.

But Williams's mother, Jan, believes a full Take That reunion will happen. She said: "On the question of him doing something with them, I feel that will happen. It would be something he wanted to do.

"I'm thrilled that out of all the negative stuff that happened, there's now something great happening. Take That were excellent when they were all together and they are excellent now."

Take That have had two No1 singles and a No1 album since they reunited, while Williams's last album, Rudebox, flopped. This week Williams apologised to the group's ex- manager and agreed to pay undisclosed damages over an allegation he made about him in a song on Rudebox.

Last month, Take That's Jason Orange also hinted at a reunion with Robbie, saying: "It's inevitable."
