Shears wants to perform with Take That

Take That

Jake Shears has admitted that he is desperate to join Take That on stage during their current tour.

The Scissor Sisters frontman revealed that he would have been willing to stand in for Howard Donald, who missed gigs after suffering a chest injury.

"I absolutely love Take That and would drop everything to join them on stage," Jake told the Daily Star. "It sucked that Howard got injured. I would have been him for a while if they'd asked.

"Right now I have time in my schedule and it means I'd get to dance again - though I'd probably pass on the backflips."

Jake's bandmate Babydaddy added: "I love the way Jake says he would drop writing our album to join Take That, but I adore them too so I'd tell him to go for it."
