Gary Barlow has teamed up with All Saints for the latest instalment of his Crooner Sessions series on Instagram.

The Take That star, 49, has joined forces with a number of his celebrity pals to perform duets on social media to lift fans’ spirits during lockdown, while many live music venues are closed.

Barlow joined the girl band for a rendition of their iconic track Never Ever, with group members Melanie Blatt, Shaznay Lewis, Nicole and Natalie Appleton reuniting over a video link on Instagram Live.

Nicole opened the performance with a perfect rendition of the song’s famous opening monologue, with her band members and Barlow harmonising in the background.

“Happy Monday everyone,” Barlow wrote on Instagram.

“What a start to the week. It’s my pleasure to welcome the amazing @allsaintsoffic to #thecroonersessions Love Love Love these girls.

“They were so amazing on our Wonderland tour and it’s so good to be singing with them today.”
