Gary Barlow has hinted to fans that he plans to go on a solo tour later this year.

The X Factor judge wouldn't reveal details of dates or venues.

Barlow performed two solo shows last December at London's Royal Albert Hall.

He also told fans that he would be visiting venues in the "north" and that there would be London dates as well.

The Take That singer and his wife Dawn, named their daughter Poppy.

Barlow was one of the stars who surprised Chris Moyles during his penultimate Radio 1 breakfast show.
