Netflix's documentary series about Take That has got fans reminiscing over the boybands' ups and downs over the past 35 years. But what about their private lives away from the stage?

The three-part show, which dropped on January 27, features the participation of its three remaining members, Gary Barlow, 55, Mark Owen, 54, and Howard Donald, 57. Neither Robbie Williams, 51, nor Jason Orange, 55, were involved. 

They had originally formed in 1990, before splitting in 1996, after Robbie had famously left the group the year before. In 2006, the band successfully reunited with Gary, Mark, Howard and Jason, after the 2005 airing of ITV documentary Take That: For the Record
