Who is Dawn Andrews?

Dawn Andrews, 50, is a dancer from Worcester and the wife of Take That's Gary Barlow.

The couple have three children together - Daniel, 20, Emily, 18, and eleven-year-old Daisy.

Gary credits Dawn with supporting his career and also being there for him through his depression and weight issues.

The singer went through a difficult time when he was dropped by his record label in 2000.
He told Event Magazine: "I remember waking up one morning and I was enormous.

I was a mess and I thought, I am not the man she married. It was Dawn who got me to go to the doctor and it was because of Dawn that I went.
