Take That singer Gary Barlow has said he expects the group to “one day” reunite with former band mate Robbie Williams.
Speculation over whether Williams would rejoin the boy band has been rife since they reformed in 2005.
It escalated further over the summer when the band joined Williams in Los Angeles and again last month when Barlow and his former band mate were interviewed together at a football game.
Speaking to the BBC, Barlow said: "As long as we're alive people are going to ask if we're going to get back together and I do believe we will one day, I just don't know when.
“I get an email every week from Rob, Mark gets one every other week, J phones him once a week. We're all keeping in touch. It's really fun getting to know him again, I must say.
"The five of us were together a lot over the summer and it just felt like we were back in the 90s. The five of us are rebuilding our friendship and that's really the only place to start.”
As previously reported on Gigwise, Take That are currently outselling Spears in the race to top the UK charts this week.
The band's new album, 'The Circus', sold 132,985 copies on Monday (December 1st), over one hundred thousand more than Spears' 'Circus'.
