Chart-topping Take That stars Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, and Howard Donald will feature on an episode of BBC Two's Reel Stories to address Robbie's comments about his 'beef' with Gary, it has been reported.
It comes after former bandmate Robbie sat down with TV presenter Dermot O'Leary on the programme one year ago to discuss his previous addiction to drugs and alcohol and his relationship with his former bandmate during the music group's soaring fame in the 90s.
The documentary series sees Dermot O'Leary in conversation with music's biggest stars, including the likes of including Rod Steward, Noel Gallagher, and Kylie Minogue. The former X Factor host, 50, and guests are seen seated inside a cinema room as the performers watch their life back on the big screen.

He said: "I was just covering up all of my insecurities, sadness, vulnerabilities with drinking and drinking. We were doing this tour and I was turning up every day smashed. It was a very lonely, very sad time. I went back to the hotel and drink a bottle of vodka and cry." But now the trio are able to share their side of the story as part of a new series for the show.
A source told The Sun: “When Robbie was on the show he talked about his ‘beef’ with Gary, which he took to levels ‘that were unnecessary and unkind’ — and how he worries Gary will still feel hurt about it all. The singer also said being in the band sparked ‘the onset of mental illness’, which included downing bottles of vodka after rehearsals and years of ensuing drug and alcohol abuse. Now Gary, Howard and Mark will be able to give their side of the story on a show which often leads to some seriously moving and candid moments.”

Robbie has publicly spoken about his former bandmate after he quit Take That in 1995 and once laid into Gary and his musical vision. The pair famously fell out when Robbie ditched Take That rehearsals to go and party in Glastonbury. The episode was filmed last week and is due to air later this year as part of the new series.
