Singer Gary Barlow surprised a Take That fan on her wedding day with a performance at her reception.
Katie Hardy had no idea that the Back for Good singer was about to walk in on her special day after friends kept the secret for eight months, reports mirror.co.uk.
Even groom Stephen Hardy was kept in the dark, having booked a local Robbie Williams tribute act to fill in at the reception at the Three Nuns pub in Loughborough, Leicestershire, on Saturday.
But when the tribute singer finished his last number, Barlow walked on to the dance floor and belted out his former band Take That’s 2006 hit Rule the World.
Hardy said: “The real Gary Barlow walked in, and I just couldn’t believe it. It was just the icing on the cake — I was speechless.”
The 33-year-old has been a Take That fan since she was eight.
She even has the names of the original band members tattooed on her arm.
Her friends and other die-hard fans put the couple’s names forward after Barlow launched a Twitter competition in January, vowing to sing at his most dedicated followers’ wedding.
Take That head to Dubai to perform for the first time on October 30 at the Dubai Media City Amphitheatre.
