LET IT SHINE! GOLDEN DAY FOR GARY AS HE TURNS 50

BUT DID HE CHOOSE HIS BIRTHDAY SUIT?

T’S Take That & (50th birthday) Party for Gary Barlow today.

The Greatest Day s singer is making e everyone feel old as h he turns 50... and he explained why he still can’t be trusted to pick out his own birthday suit.

Gary, who would roll around in boxer shorts and black leather as frontman of Take That, the biggest boyband of the ’90s, says he has never come to terms with being a sex symbol.

‘I was never the cool kid at school, I’ve always felt like I couldn’t be trusted to dress myself,’ said Gaz. ‘I’m just a guy who writes songs and sits in a studio.

‘I’ll be honest, it’s always been an area I’ve struggled with.’

After being forced to abandon his plans for a celebratory gig at the London Palladium, Gary has settled for sharing his 50th birthday thunder with Cadbury’s Creme Egg.

To mark their joint anniversaries he has re-recorded Happy Birthday to sing ‘Happy Birthday to Goo!’ as he nibbles on one of the choccies while tinkering at a golden piano. ‘Turning 50 is a landmark moment in everyone’s life and I am so excited that I share my special day with such an important British icon, my favourite chocolate gooey egg!’ said Gazza. ‘It has been my honour to kick off the Golden Goobilee celebrations in style.’
