Gary Barlow has responded to negative claims about the singer that were made in Simon Cowell's new biography.

Tom Bower released a biography about the music mogul earlier this year and it claimed that Cowell thought Barlow was too scripted on the X Factor.

It is also said in Sweet Revenge that the X Factor supremo was irritated by Barlow being awarded an OBE.

Speaking to The Sun, Barlow joked that he will get his own back when his own book comes out. He said:

"Wait until my book comes out! It will be bloody beautiful. I'll get the lot of them."

The Take That star added that he doubts that all of Cowell's alleged remarks are true. Barlow said: "I've had plenty of abuse in the past 22 years. I'm so used to having people saying things about me - then when I actually meet them it turns out they've never said the things. I take it all with a pinch of salt. Gossip and tittle tattle, I've got no time for that."
