The talent show final, to be aired on the 25th February, will involve groups of singers battling for the chance to star in a West End musical based on Take That's biggest hits.
Here is a video of the final five bands performing recently.
Robbie originally left Take That in 1995 before rejoining in 2010 and leaving for the second time in 2012. Speaking about his upcoming TV appearance he said,
"I’m looking forward to being back with Gary, Mark and Howard on Let It Shine and am excited to be a guest judge for the very special final."
Since leaving the band he has reunited with them for special occasions, the most recent being for the presentation of his BRITs Icon Award late last year when he and Take That performed 'The Flood' and 'Back For Good'.
Sadly this reunion will not be permanent as Robbie has high hopes to crack America this year.
Robbie has been quoted by The Mirror saying,
"Nobody knows who I am. I can look at them and they can look at me. I get to stare at them and they get to stare at me, but they don't stare because they don't know who I am. I don't like this. I want this to change."
He went on to explain how he didn't cope with fame well in the 90s and used America as a bit of retreat however, "Now I have changed my mind and I really regret it."
