Who are the supporting acts?

The Script and Belinda Carlisle have been announced as the group's special guests on all UK shows, however a support act for their Dublin date is yet to be announced.

Will Jason Orange be making a comeback?

As the group geared up to announce their big tour news ahead of today, their comment sections on posts teasing the big announcement were filled with theories that Jason Orange will be reuniting with the band.

In one teaser video featuring Gary, fans noticed orange items in the background, and one person wrote: "Color of the map under the VHS Cam? ORANGE." [sic]

Another said: "Orange hat, orange note book, orange material draped over the mirror, orange jacket hanging on the rail." They later followed-up by adding in the comments section of the post: "And orange make up in the palette."

However, the group have not announced Jason's return from the band, after he stepped away from the group in 2014 and stepped away from the limelight completely.

In a statement at the time, Jason said: "I want to start by saying how proud I am of what we have achieved together over the years.

"I have spent some of the best years of my life with Take That and I'd like to thank everyone who has been a part of my journey, including my band mates, who I feel are like brothers to me.

"Most especially my gratitude goes to all of the good and kind, beautiful and ever-loyal fans of the band, without whom none of this could have been possible. Thank-you."
