The boyband singer revealed his surprise that Martin wanted his group to be the opening act for Take That's summer shows.
"It's amazing! I think Chris wrote it on his website. We thought he was taking the p*ss, but he wasn't. He's genuinely a fan," Barlow told Star Magazine.
Martin voiced his admiration for Take That, saying: "I'd like to use this forum, the Coldplay website, to announce that if Take That want us to open for them, we'll do it."
The 'Take That Presents The Circus Live - Summer 2009' tour kicks off in Sunderland on June 6.
