Fearne Cotton gave fans a blast from the past as she reunited with Take That for an interview on her Happy Place podcast.
The presenter, 42, shared a fun collection of throwback snaps featuring the previous times she’d interviewed the band, including Robbie Williams’ brief reunion with the group back in 2011.
In a lengthy caption, Fearne said her chat with Gary Barlow, 52, Mark Owen, 51, and Howard Donald, 55, was ‘deeper and rawer than ever before,’ while candidly revealing that this week she suffered her ‘first panic attack in ages.’
Fearne wrote: ‘It’s been lovely to see how many of you have been enjoying this weeks episode of @happyplaceofficial the podcast with @takethat
‘I’ve interviewed them many tmes over the years (keep swiping to see some of the throwbacks I found) but this seemed like a deeper and rawer chat than ever before. It was also very funny.

‘Often we look on instagram, or online, or watch someone on stage and assume many things; that they’re brimming with confidence, have it all sorted and feel worthy.
‘It’s so often not the case as no matter what role or job you find yourself they’ll be self doubt and discomfort lurking.
‘I still have to remind myself of this when I start comparing myself to other. I’ve had to do it this week as I had my first panic attack in ages and started to compare how I cope to others. It’s all pointless.
‘None of us really know what’s going on with others. It’s why I love these conversations so much. It gets beneath the surface stuff and cuts to what’s really going on.
‘Sending you all love today. Especially if you don’t think you deserve it.’
Fearne then shared a selection of snaps from her podcast interview with Take That, and images from her prior chats with Gary Barlow and Robbie.
