Take That’s Gary Barlow has launched a new wine range, but it’s not necessarily what his fans expected.
Teasing his 4.1 million Twitter fans on Tuesday, he uploaded a video with the text “presenting the most perfect duet” and wrote: “Got some news to share with you this week, any guesses?”
Excited fans guessed the surprise could be a duet between himself and Adele, Ronan Keating, Elton John, or Robbie Williams.
The Adele duet didn’t seem like much of a stretch given the singer-songwriter has this week teased fans with a new song.
But, updating his fans yesterday afternoon, Barlow revealed that a guess that it is a new album was “miles off”.
