Take That frontman Gary Barlow has revealed to fans he keeps old photos of himself as an inspiration to keep fit and healthy.

The 47-year-old shared a throwback photo, believed to be from the 1990s, to his Instagram page, where he revealed looking back at photos of his old body helps him keep motivated. He wrote, 'These pictures keep me on the straight and narrow. I remember those times and how I felt - awful - I will never allow myself to feel like that again. I’m in control #bb' sic

After Take That split for the first time, Gary's weight spiraled out of control, with his weight reaching around 17st.

The singer now takes serious pride in his appearance, and after taking part in a number of fitness and healthy eating plans, Gary now weighs around 12st.

Gary likes to inspire his followers to eat healthily and often shares videos of himself to his Instagram page, cooking healthy recipes with his friend Melissa Hemsley.

The singer also keeps his fans up to date with his exercise plan. Calling it 'Barlow's Bootcamp', Gary posts videos of himself working out, urging his followers to get involved.

As the rest of us were ready to pig out and indulge in far too much food over the festive period, Gary was preparing his body for the new year. Taking to Instagram to share a video of himself doing weights, he wrote, 'It’s nearly Xmas. Yes I too love to indulge. Eat, drink, lounge about. I always feel better however if I try and keep the balance. The thought of starting the New Year having taken 3 steps back is not a feeling I want. So I’m gently combatting the inevitable pig outs and boozy sessions with a little bit of exercise and movement. Not long till #barlowbootcamp'. sic

Impressive! 💪

In other Gary Barlow news, the singer delighted his fans last month when he posted a throwback photo of himself and his wife Dawn, to celebrate the couple's anniversary.
