Gary Barlow has admitted that he is going to hang up his baby making boots once his next child is born.

The Take That star and X Factor judge revealed recently that he is due to add to the Barlow clan in the future with the arrival of his fourth child.

However, the Daily Star reports that the singer isn't looking beyond child No.4 - which he hopes is a boy - and is looking to take a rest from newborns. He said:

"I am going to be a dad again at 41. We would like a boy this time but whatever happens is fine. I am going to stick at four. I hope so anyway but it's not my decision."

As previously reported, Barlow revealed that he has been in talks for "months" about returning to the X Factor as a judge - however, no public confirmation has been issued yet about any of the judges and their possible return to the show.
