He told his fans he had started to think differently about his sexuality after listening to French singer Christine and the Queens.

Howard said during an Instagram live video: “Christine And The Queens, she’s a pansexual, I’ve read.

“Pansexual sounds good. Maybe I should be pansexual.

“And let’s face it, women look at other women sometimes and think, ‘Ooh yeah, she’s tasty, I fancy her’.

 Howard admitted he's looked at men before and thought 'oh yeah, I fancy him'

“I’ve looked at men before and thought, ‘Oh yeah, I fancy him, he’s a good-looking guy. I wish I looked like that’.

“You can still be attracted to men and still be attracted to women . . . as well as women, sorry. But I’m happy with my wife, anyway.

“But I’m just saying, I’m very open-minded when it comes to that.”

Enjoy explaining that one when you get home to your missus, Howard.

He is back on the road from April 12 with Take That bandmates Gary Barlow and Mark Owen.

They will play a series of dates on their Greatest Hits tour around the UK and Dublin.

It’s still not been confirmed whether they will be joined by Jason Orange who quit in 2014.

The lads had hoped he would take part, but Howard admitted that Jason had gone off the grid and was ignoring the band’s phone calls and emails.

Robbie Williams has promised he will return, saying he would join the band at some point during the UK leg of the tour.

He said: “As long as we stay healthy, I’m sure there’ll be another moment where we all get together. Maybe we can coax Jason back, who knows?”

I think they just need to have a little Patience.

Nina's album reveals shear

NINA NESBITT’s new album may not be the most welcome listening for her former boyfriend Ed Sheeran.

The Scottish singer-songwriter dated Ed in 2012 shortly after signing to Island Records and sings how the breakdown of their relationship left her feeling “f***ed up” and with commitment issues.

During her track The Moments I’m Missing, she sings: “At the end of July I met somebody who changed my life.

“And then I’m signed and falling in love for the very first time.

“But that f***ed me up, so then I had issues with falling in love.”

The track features on her critically acclaimed album The Sun Will Come Up, The Seasons Will Change.

It has been shooting up the chart since it was released on Friday.

On the title track, Nina seems to refer to Ed as she sings about “a lover who is now someone I don’t know”.

Ed got engaged to his long-term girlfriend, high-flying accountant Cherry Seaborn, in December 2017.

But before that, Nina was the subject of Ed’s songs Photograph and Nina, from the chart-topper’s second album Multiply. Their heartbreak has given them both plenty to write about.

Play is a bed of roses for Danny

AFTER clocking up just 13 minutes on stage in Nativity! The Musical, Danny Dyer spends three quarters of his new production in bed.

He co-stars with Martin Freeman in The Dumb Waiter, about two assassins waiting for their next job.

The play is just 48 minutes long, but the EastEnders actor spends most of that time sitting on his Aris.

An audience member told me: “Danny lay in bed for over 20 minutes and only stood up for about ten.

"We wondered if he was tired and ad-libbing the bit where he got into bed, or if he had it written into the script to stay tucked up. It did give us a good laugh.”

The West End show, at The Harold Pinter Theatre, runs until February 23.

So if you fancy paying good money to see Danny lounging around in bed, this is for you.

Rami, who played Freddie Mercury in the hit movie, told The Hollywood Reporter: “In my situation with Bryan, it was not pleasant, not at all. And that’s about what I can say about it at this point.

“I’ve sat here and talked about how everyone deserves a voice and anyone who wants to talk about what happened with Bryan deserves to have their voice heard.

“My heart goes out to anyone who has to live through anything like what I’ve heard and what is out there.”

Singer has denied the accusations made against him by four men, some of which involve claims of underage sex.
