Gary Barlow’s ballet phobia
June 17th, 2009The Take That singer is apparently terrified of ballet pumps even to the point where he has banned anyone from ever wearing them in the band’s backstage on their new tour. A source said the following about Gary Barlow’s strange fear: “Gary can’t stand the sight of ballet pumps. It may sound odd but he cannot bear them. He thinks they’re incredibly unflattering. In his eyes, even the most attractive woman would be pug ugly if she was wearing pumps. At one of their recent after-show parties, a dancer was kicking back in some pastel ballet pumps, and Gary had to leave the room. All 230-odd cast and crew have been told to stick to trainers or heels when not on stage. The other Take That guys find it hilarious.” It sounds more like loathing, then fear really. But hey, whatever keeps Gary Barlow’s wheels turning and Take That’s music rolling is probably got to stay, right?
