Gary Barlow has compared his current Take That chart battle with Robbie Williams to the infamous feud between Blur and Oasis.
The singer's spoken out for the first time following the news that Take That's new album 'III' is up against Robbie's surprise new record 'Under The Radar'.
"It's like Blur versus Oasis all over again." he joked to The Sun newspaper.
However he also revealed that Robbie had already told the group about his new album, only failing to mention its release date.
"I only found out about that on Sunday (30.11.14).
"It's funny, because we have obviously spent a lot of time in the studio with Rob.
"About two years ago he said, 'I've got all these songs and I don't know what to do with them so I'm going to put them on an album one day'.
"So it's not a surprise he's doing it, but it is a surprise it's out this week.
"He played us most of them and there are some cracking songs because whatever Rob writes is good."
He also claimed Robbie and Jason Orange would return to Take That in the future.
"Take That is five people. Exactly when they come back is up to them. That will keep it interesting."
