And, while the former Take That star is away for three weeks, his wife Ayda Field, 39, who is sitting alongside him on the panel this year, is making the most of his unused personal space backstage.

The actress is moving exercise equipment into his room so she can work on her health and fitness, and show bosses gave her the go ahead.

A source told the Sunday Mirror: “His room was lying empty so bosses thought why not put it to good use.

“Ayda was the driving force behind it. She can’t wait to see his face when he finds out it has gone.”
