(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Take That have revealed theyre so close now they pick each others noses.

The British boyband, comprising Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Jason Orange, Howard Donald and newly returned member Robbie Williams who left the group in 1995 are back with a new album, entitled Progress, the first to feature Robbie since Nobody Else.

There was a much publicised rift between Robbie and the other boys, notably Gary, for some time, but the stars are all now fabulous friends since they began working on material together about a year ago.

Heartthrob Mark even teased that theyve bonded so much now they help clean each others nostrils.

Now we pick each others noses, he joked in an interview with BBC Radio One.

Robbie thinks theres a far more laidback atmosphere within the pop quintet this time around, which he puts down to their new maturity and lack of egos. He also confessed he probably was one of the more competitive members of the band back in the 90s.

Last time we were five individuals...like I wanna be the best at drinking that drink...maybe it was just me! he laughed.

But then Mark added there probably is still competitiveness within the band. He thinks the boys are just savvier at disguising their egos now.

Its still a bit like that - we found ways to disguise it! he laughed. (C) Cover Media
