Take That are planning a reunion with former members Robbie Williams and Jason Orange for their 30th anniversary

There are definitely two types of Take That fan - the ones who prefer the line-up WITH Robbie Williams in it, and those who prefer it without.

Not because they're Robbie haters - just because some believe Take That worked better as a four-piece, and Robbie is DEFINITELY a solo artist.

SOME might say anyway... Ahem.

But we're sure that Take That fans can all agree that there are certain occasions that would call for them all to come back together as a five.

For example... A REUNION CONCERT?!

Some of you might have realised that it has, in fact, been a whopping 25 YEARS since Take That first burst onto the scene with their debut album Take That & Party in 1992.

Featuring absolute classics like It Only Takes A Minute and A Million Love Songs, the album stayed in the charts for a crazy 75 weeks - one year, five months and one week - but never actually reached number one.

And whilst the current members of Take That - Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald - are right this minute on tour with their Wonderland Live 2017 Tour, they were also hoping that they could get the other lads together for the 25th anniversary.

Sadly, Gary confirmed to The Sun's podcast that Robbie would definitely not be joining them for any celebrations.

BOO.

However - there's still hope for the future!

Gary, who recently dyed his hair back to its 90s platinum blonde, said: "We're planning something to do for the 30-year all together. Were looking that far ahead, something big, maybe a new record, maybe a greatest hits with a big tour."

OMGOMGOMGOMG.

But before we can get too excited about a potential 30th anniversary tour with ALL FIVE in 2022, Howard and Mark were being decidedly PESSIMISTIC on the matter.

Or perhaps realistic if you look at it that way.

They both agreed that it would be "incredible" to come back as a five-piece, but Howard then admitted: "A five-piece would be incredible. Whether that ever happens or not, that's a different story. My gut's telling me no. I'd love it to happen."

Come on Howard - positive vibes only, please!

Even Robbie had something to say on the matter - despite saying that he wouldn't be joining them in the immediate future, he did seem hopeful for a few years' time.

He rather rudely told The Sun last year: "I'm a floating member." Ooh er, Robbie.

He continued: "And I'm really proud of what we do and what we create when I'm in the band. We'll wait and see when our paths collide but I don't think it's going to be next year."

We're choosing to see this as a good thing.
