Mark Owen isn't the only member of the Take That to be feeling the pressure before the launch of their Progress tour. 

The band begin their record-breaking string of dates this Friday, May 27, and the tour's production designer Chris Vaughan explained to The Sun newspaper that he, too, is suffering from last minute nerves:

"I am numb from worry. If I stopped to think about it I'd be on a plane to Rio."

"We're desperately trying to make everything the band wanted to happen, happen. It is stressful, honing set design, people changing their minds and the show being tweaked some."

Sunderland will welcome the opening night and the dates will take the 'Kidz' singers right through to July. Watch them perform 'Love Love' live, here:
