Take That shun after party antics for bingo nights

Take That might be one of the most in-demand boy bands in the world, but they would rather play games of bingo than partake in any naughty backstage behaviour. 

Singer-songwriter Gary Barlow spoke to The Sun newspaper about his past as a bingo caller and explains that his skills have come in useful for entertaining his band mates and crew after hours:

"I used to be a bingo caller when I was first starting out. I used to love reading out the numbers. We have bingo nights backstage on the Take That tour to help everyone relax. We call it Barlow's Bingo."

The guys are only a few dates into their Progress tour and will perform at the City of Manchester stadium this evening, June 3. 

Watch their performance of 'The Flood' from the tour's opening night here:
