Gary Barlow's wife is "unimpressed" by his fame

Gary Barlow has revealed that his wife isn't impressed by the success his career brings and is more enthused when he helps out with housework.

The singer-songwriter explained that his stint as a judge on The X Factor propelled him to an even higher level of fame, but Dawn is uninterested in his status or how well Take That's records are selling and instead is very "real", which helps keep him grounded:

"She is so unimpressed by everything, my wife is. If I ever did come home and say, 'Babe, we've sold two million albums today,' it would be like, 'Well, can you just finish the kids' tea?' None of this success figures in our lives. It's just the pantomime that goes with what I do."

The couple have three children together, 11-year-old Daniel, nine-year-old Emily, and two-year-old Daisy, and have known each other for years. Barlow added:

"Dawn is real. She has known me through thick and thin. She has known me at 198lbs when nobody wanted to call me any more. She has known me through it all."
