Take That head back into studio

Take That have returned to the studio to begin recording their follow-up to 2006's Beautiful World LP.

The veteran boyband have been on an extended holiday since bagging two Brit Awards in February.

However, according to The Sun, the group recently met in London to discuss plans for their fifth studio album.

"They had the relevant meetings with their record company about a new album and both parties are in agreement about it," said a source.

"They’re going to be back a lot quicker than they’d originally planned."

Beautiful World, the band's first album since 1995, sold over 2.2 million copies in the UK.
