Take That have hinted that Robbie Williams may stay as a permanent member of the band after their up-coming tour.

Williams who rejoined the band after 15 years for Take That's new album 'Progress' and to take part in a huge stadium tour this summer may be staying a while longer.

''We really want that and this is our dream come true. At the beginning we all said it was going to last for one album, but we're starting to write again, so we don't know now," Gary Barlow told The Sun.

As previously reported on Gigwise, Williams is now said to be courting a new solo deal off the back of the reformation.

Meanwhile, Take That's Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow have revealed that they are in a 'diet battle'.
