The latest series of Gary Barlow's Wine Tour sees the Take That singer head to Australia, play cricket with Dannii Minogue, tour the Sydney Opera House with Tim Minchin and go star gazing in Alice Springs with Ronan Keating.
But the closest guest to Gary's heart? His daughter, Emily, who has been living Down Under for the past three years while she's been studying nutrition and midwifery.

"But I got to spend a month with her last year - oh, it was so brilliant. Reluctantly, she said, 'I'll do it for you.' But she came on, and actually it was lovely," he says.
The programme sees Emily and her boyfriend, Marshall, join Gary as they adventure through Queensland, swimming through the rainforest on inflatable mattresses and fishing in the mangroves.

Despite her taste of TV life, neither Emily nor her older brother Daniel, who is studying medicine - younger sister Daisy is still at school - are keen to follow in their famous father's footsteps.

While Gary's son is a towering 6ft 2 inches, the former Take That singer is approximately 5ft 8 inches tall.
2. Musical man
Gary co-wrote the music with Eliot Kennedy for the 2004 musical Finding Neverland, based on the 2004 film starring Johnny Depp. The musical went on to tour the US in 2015.
3. Take That tax scandal
In 2012, Gary was involved in a tax evasion investigation with his bandmates Howard Donald and Mark Owen. The stars repaid £20 million to HMRC in 2012 after investing in two partnerships that were styled as music industry investment schemes.
4. Rule breaker
When Gary joined Take That, the band had a 'no girlfriend rule.' Breaking this rule, he ended up dating his now-wife Dawn, who was a backing dancer for his 1990s music video. When the fans caught wind that he was dating somebody else, Dawn received some nasty comments.
5. Better Man drama
Gary complained to his former bandmate Robbie Williams about how he was portrayed in the 2024 biopic film Better Man. At the Deadline preview press screening for the film, Robbie said Gary phoned him after watching the film saying: "Rob, I come off worse than Darth Vader in the first half."
"Neither of them wanted to do anything with singing or TV," Gary laughed. "I don't know if I've put them off!"
Asked how he selected the people to share these experiences with, Gary said: "Yeah, I was worried when it was decided the second season was going to be Australia; I was thinking, well how are we going to get guests for that? And actually, we had an abundance of people who were up for it. You don't realise actually how much of a travel corridor now Australia is, I think, definitely for us Brits.

He added: "I've got to say, this show is the most fun to make of any show I've ever made. Traveling around, seeing these incredible places, drinking wine and eating amazing food. I mean, what could be better? It really is incredible."
