Take That’s Jason Orange has morphed into Gary Barlow 

Jason Orange quit Take That in 2014 and decided not to return to the band for the Coronation reunion concert.

But he’s been on the road for the first time since 2015 and 52-year-old Jason appears to have turned into lead singer Gary Barlow, also 52.

Jason’s cropped haircut is long gone and he’s sported a longer, choppy style instead, just like Howard Donald, 55, but his salt-and-pepper designer stubble makes him look like Gary’s sexier twin brother.

Jason looked handsome in a blue beanie, long coat and beige combat pants as he browsed the window of a local estate agent.

Take That first returned to the music scene as a threesome after a ten-year hiatus in 2006, but Jason was the only member of the band to avoid the music scene during their ten-year hiatus.

Instead, he chose to try his hand at acting in various stage productions.

The star reportedly turned his back on the London party circuit, opting instead for quieter nights in low-key venues in and around his native Manchester.

Take That went on hiatus again, performing for the first time in four years at King Charles III’s coronation concert at Windsor Castle earlier this month.

Howard Donald Gary Barlow and Mark Owen, 51, took to the stage to sing for the royal family and 20,000 fans at the historic Berkshire residence, which has a television audience of millions around the world.

Neither Jason nor fifth member Robbie Williams, 49, delivered a crushing blow to fans who dared to dream of the quintet getting together.

Jason has largely kept his private life to himself, but he dated comedian Catherine Tate, 53, in 2011 and split after a few months

The singer first met Catherine when they both took part in a sketch for Comic Relief.

Catherine dressed up as the singer of fake band Fake That alongside James Corden, Alan Carr, John Bishop and David Walliams, who made up the other fatter members of the band.

The pair hit it off and were reunited six months later when they both turned out to support Walliams during his charity swim along the River Thames.

But when the press and fans picked up on their blossoming relationship, it reportedly caused friction between them.

And things came to a head when they spent New Year apart.

Jason reportedly saw 2012 on a detox holiday to Thailand, while Catherine stayed in Britain.
