GARY BARLOW TO FRONT NEW ITV TRAVEL SERIES

Take That frontman Gary Barlow is set to front a new ITV travel series, The Sun newspaper have revealed.

The untitled series, yet to be announced by ITV, is reportedly set to air on ITV1 this Autumn. Filming is due to commence this March before Gary heads on tour with Take That this Summer.

The format will combine the star's love for music and food as he travels around Europe, joined by celebrity guests along the way to explore each location's culture, history, culinary and music scene.

A source told The Sun: "Gary is fronting a new travelogue on ITV which will air later this autumn. He is very well travelled but loves to explore new places so when he was approached with the idea he jumped at the chance...

"Gary will head around Europe, along with some of his famous pals, and take viewers along with him for the ride. He is a natural on camera and ITV think the show will be a hit with their audiences. As well as looking at culture and food, music will play a part in the show and Gary hopes to bring something really new and exciting to the table."

More details will be announced in due course.
