Take That's former manager has accused the boys of being "ungrateful" after they dumped him before going on tour.
Nigel Martin-Smith was sacked by the band despite being the man who masterminded their current reunion.
"I can't believe how I've been treated after everything I've done," he told the Sunday Mirror. "Take That were all on the dole when I put them together all that time ago and they weren't doing too well when I relaunched them last year. Talk about ungrateful."
Martin-Smith now plans to talk openly about everything that has happened behind the scenes.
"I'm under a gagging clause so I can't say too much until the end of the tour," he explained. "I have kept my mouth shut for 16 years despite numerous lucrative offers to tell all."
