Jason Orange has announced he’s leaving Take That. In a statement released last night, he said he doesn't want to ''commit to recording and promoting a new album.'' Jason insists there has been ''no fallings out'' and has wished the remaining members the best of luck for ''another chapter for the band''.

Shortly afterwards Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen said Jason leaving is a ''huge loss both professionally and even more so personally.'' They say they ''fully respect his decision.''

There's speculation Gary, Howard and Mark will continue as a threesome. Earlier this year, Robbie Williams confirmed he wouldn't return for Take That’s next album and tour, because his schedule was too gruelling. This morning, Robbie tweeted: "Mr Orange. Until we ride again. Much love bro."

Take That last performed in Ireland in June, 2011.
