Take That Take That Back for good, back for good...they want him back for good.

Take That have confessed they feel guilty for not stopping former bandmate Robbie Williams going off the rails.

And the older and wiser band have made a heartwarming appeal for him to return.

Gary Barlow told The Sun: "That's my one regret. I missed the signs. I think we all did."

Mark Owen chipped in: "Sometimes we'd joke and say we wanted to be in Oasis.Robbie WilliamsRobbie Williams

"But he actually did want to be in Oasis. I feel a bit guilty now that I wasn't mature enough to hear his cries."

We hate to think of Mark worrying his pretty little head.

Gary has also done some serious thinking about how to reintroduce Rob, who quit the band in 1995: "I don't think the way for him to come back would be the stage shows.

"If I wanted Rob to do something again it would be on a creative level."

Even Jason Orange, who last year appeared to oppose a Robbie reunion, said: "Let's get him back as quickly as possible."

There you are Robbie, the cards are on the table.
