A source said: “Robbie has signed up to perform and, of course, the first thing the organisers suggested was getting him together with Take That, who are already on the bill.
“They are all great mates and love the chance to get together, so everyone agrees it would be a lovely thing to do for such an incredible cause.

“Being local lads it’s obviously something they’re all very passionate about supporting. They have gone to great lengths to make sure they can be there — even though it will mean Take That racing straight from the stage to their own gig later that night in Birmingham.
“Talks are very much ongoing and if they can make the timings work then it would be a very special reunion indeed.”
