Through The Years

Making my way through old photographs,

From the night when you first stood by my side.

Old friends with smiles, some are here, some are gone...

Chilling before a show, trying to look comfortable in a tight three-piece suit...

One of the behind-the-scenes shots for the 2020 photoshoot in Manchester. Four billion shots to get one decent one. Not easy when I'm the subject...

I did a lookalike shoot for the BAFTA winning photographer and documentary maker, Alison Jackson. This was supposed to me (as Gary) fantasising about getting knighted by Liz. That boat might just have sailed...

With Colin Parry, at my audition for Totally Take That. Colin can be seen on Hollyoaks and pretty much anything from Casualty to Holby City. He also used to play Howard in Totally Take That. He's an absolute gentle giant of a man.

My first show...

Mark Owen finally found someone who appeared smaller than him...

On a photoshoot in Bolton with Sharon Osbourne (also known as Caroline Bernstein) - Fabulous, darling!

Another Bolton photoshoot. Man, I've got such attitude in my Primark white tee shirt (£2) and Next jacket.

At Ben Haynes' studio in Derby, between takes for one of my albums. I can't not pick up a guitar that's laying around.

One of my earliest publicity shots. This was before I went on the X Factor, before I sang in Totally Take That, before I'd done virtually anything. I hadn't a clue what I was doing, but clearly I was trying to look moody.

Point the camera down please, make me look slimmer. Yes!!

This was the last time I was out with Totally Take That (in this case, Kirk Johnstone and John White). Bolton Premiere Suite at Christmas. Superb night, although I recall one woman making out with herself on the floor. You see it all up on stage...

With Ben Haynes discussing something during the recording of The Best Is Yet To Come. He was probably saying 'That was a rubbish take, I knew I shouldn't have worked with you...'

Two amazing people, and Ben Haynes on the right.

No need to lock up your daughters as two of us are married and one of us is gay.

My first ever publicity shot. This appeared everywhere. I just wish I could have afforded to have the whole picture developed.

Supporting the K Woods Foundation and all their amazing work.

With John (Howard) and Kirky (Marky) in some dressing room in Ireland during a tour in 2015. Ireland is always a great tour, and I miss doing that.

I'm so serious I couldn't even sit down.

This is what Mad Men do backstage, with my old agent Danny Lowry (as Robbie Williams)

On stage doing Since I Saw You Last in Belfast. I remember this crowd so well because they were screaming all night. They thought they'd paid for a Westlife concert.

'And basically, you just play the guitar like this.'

More Irish shots. My God we thought we were cool. But only John was.

I always like to sing for books, and this was no exception. Funnily enough, Susan Boyle was watching this show from the side, quietly tapping her foot. It was a sign of approval, so I tell myself.

This was taken under the wonderful painting 'Wall' by Ivor Sorefinger, the realist painter. Very, very good.
