'Could it be magic?' No, its Slim Fast

‘Could it be magic?’ No, its Slim Fast

Last year we overheard Gary Barlow defending his weight on the phone to Simon Cowell, this year he wasn’t going to risk the possibility… the singer has been on the Slim Fast!

Get me slim…..fast! Gary prepares his meal

Caught by our cameras at a hotel in London during The X Factor auditions, Barlow was seen checking the dinner menu for a slimline option. Having not found anything to his taste he then asked staff if they could instead provide him with a chocolate Slim Fast shake.

Do you have anything under 200 calories? Barlow rejects the menu

The waitress serving Mr Barlow hurried away to find the requested food substitute and relieved, returned with a bottle and glass for the singer-songwriter.

Take That! The singer calorie counts

Its clear that Gary has taken comments from last year to heart and has been working on his shape in preparation for this year’s show. He already looks far more svelte than he did before. However, with the live shows looming maybe our Gaz is feeling the pressure to lose just a little more.
