Gary, 53, was approached by TV bosses about fronting the series which incorporates his love of music and travel.

Insiders said Gary was bringing along a couple of famous faces for the trip, which will see him exploring some of the world’s most beautiful locations.

A source said: “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.”

Filming for the series will begin in March, just weeks before Gary will kick off Take That’s new This Life tour.

The band, which also includes Mark Owen and Howard Donald, will go on the road from April 13 – kicking off the tour in Sheffield.

Huge demand to see the chart-topping group live has seen nearly all of the dates sell out nationwide.

When Take That returned with their new album This Life in November, the record went straight to the top of the charts.

The group are now hoping to take their shows to Las Vegas, with Gary admitting they had already started work on their next album.

He said: “We were sat together the other day and they were going through all the numbers [for This Life] at the label.

“And everything was looking great - and they said to us, ‘How does it feel?’

“And we turn to one and other and just went: ‘Well, it means we can do it again. It means we can make another record in a few gets time.’”
