TAKE THAT have come up with a refreshing way to keep their bodies in tip-top shape on tour – an ICE BATH.
The lads are put through a two-hour on-stage workout each night of their gruelling Beautiful World tour.
The energetic routines have the boys backflipping, breakdancing and even jumping on a running machine at the end of the show.
So it comes as no surprise that GARY BARLOW, MARK OWEN, JASON ORANGE and HOWARD DONALD need help to soothe their aching limbs.
Let’s face it, they are all in their mid to late thirties.
Health-conscious Jason came up with the idea of using the bath after learning about the benefits from football coaches.
He explained: “It’s horrible when you first get in, it’s freezing and it physically hurts.
“I can only stand it for about a minute but when you get out it feels amazing. You can almost feel it healing your body.
“Hopefully it will help us get through the shows ahead of us.”
Jason and Howard have the most demanding physical moves in the show.
There’s a comical moment when Howard, the oldest at 39, is challenged to do a backflip — just like he used to in the old Take That days.
On Thursday’s opening night at Belfast’s Odyssey Arena he performed the stunt perfectly, landing in the splits.
He then joked: “Ouch, I’ve crushed a testicle.”
I’m sure every man in the room — yes, there were a few — winced as he landed with a bump.
During the set Howard also challenges Jason to do some breakdancing and they force Mark to perform a caterpillar body-popping move.
The classic Take That banter ends with the trio turning to see what Gary can do — but find him sitting reading a paper.

Then he quips: “I should have been in WESTLIFE.”
Despite his lack of moves, Gary still had to brave the ice.
He told me backstage: “I was the last one wanting to get in and hoped I could get out of it.
“Everyone expected Howard and Jason to have a soak but when Mark braved it too I knew I was in trouble.
“I had no option but to just go for it. I was only in there for about ten seconds because it was agony but I felt fantastic afterwards. It obviously works.”
The band’s WAGs were all due to fly out to Belfast yesterday to watch their other halves.
The boys are guaranteed huge support from their nearest and dearest — but they’ll have a job matching superfan PETER KAY.
The Phoenix Nights star saw the lads six times on their last tour — and flew to Belfast for the big opening night.
Afterwards he gave the band a song-by-song critique. Gary said: “I had to say to him, ‘I know, I was there mate. You don’t need to review it for me’. I'm glad he loved it.”
The boys proved they’ve still got what it takes to deliver a world class performance.
