Gary Barlow beats David Beckham to 'Celebrity Dad of The Year' title
He wins the award for a second time
Gary Barlow has been voted Celebrity Dad of The Year for the second time beating David Beckham to the title.
Barlow was hand-picked by the British public as the famous father they thought was doing the best job at balancing their parenting and celebrity lifestyle in the ice-lolly.com-sponsored competition for 2015.
He said: “I’m absolutely made-up to have been voted icelolly.com Celebrity Dad Of The Year 2015 and I’d like to thank everyone who voted for me.
“I’ve got to be honest I’m always a bit dubious about awards - The Brits, Oscars...but icelolly.com Celebrity Dad of the Year get it right, and they've got it right twice now. I think 2012 and 2015 in particular the audience has spoken and they know what they want.”
The 44-year-old, who was also handed the award back in 2012, has three children with his wife Dawn – and fought off tough competition from the big names such as Simon Cowell, Robbie Williams, and David Beckham.
