Jason Orange 'didn't want Take That return'

Jason Orange has revealed that he considered quitting the original reunion of Take That back in 2005.

The 40-year-old singer confessed that he wanted to snub a press conference announcing the return of the four-piece group, and ended up turning to missing member Robbie Williams for advice.

He told The Guardian: "I felt like there was no one else who would understand my fear and trepidation, my out-and-out terror, except him, so I reconnected with Rob.

"He laughed when I rang him. He was laughing his head off, going, 'What are you going to do, man?'"

Although he had reached out to Williams, Orange remembered that none of his fellow bandmates had done the same, which led to an awkward encounter between them all at a London hotel.

"There was a lot of water not under the bridge," he explained. "Lying stagnant."
