Williams 'extends Take That session'

Robbie Williams has allegedly extended his reported songwriting session with his former Take That bandmates for a second day.

It had been claimed that the singer had joined the group in a New York studio, though a band spokesman told DS that such reports were unconfirmed.

A friend told The Mirror: "It's been 14 years since all five have been together for an extended time and they were having a blast. It went so well they all agreed to meet for a second session.

"It's a bit of a boys' adventure. Robbie has told them he doesn’t want to perform Take That songs he wasn't involved in so they're writing new stuff."

It has been suggested that the group could follow up their reported reunion at Electric Lady Studios in Manhattan's West Village with a performance at next month's Children In Need concert at the Albert Hall.
