So Gary Barlow's Been Accused Of Avoiding Millions In Tax...
How Could This Happen? Isn't He Beloved By All And A National Treasure?
As you probably know, in the early 1990 Gary was a founding member of Take That
They were unbelieveably successful, gaining 8 UK number ones in the 90s...
But Then Take That split-up, and the dream was over and Gary was reduced to...
...Getting fat and appearing in Heartbeat
Because it turned out the teenage girls who loved Take That in the 90s were now women who still loved Take That
And the band's 2006 reunion was wildly successful, spawning more No. 1s
Gary in particular was so popular that he even became pals with the guy who wanted to be Prime Minister...
By 2010 Gary, Howard and Mark had more money than they knew what to do with...
Then Gary's mate became PM and told us we all had to do without and tighten our belts
So journalists began investigating alleged tax dodging schemes like Gary and his friends'
Meanwhile Take That and Gary went from strength to strength, Gaz even got to replace Simon Cowell on The X Factor
And palled up with royalty, organising the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and getting an OBE
Some think he even was a bit scarily fond of his royal appointment
Meanwhile The Times got its teeth into rumbling tax avoiders, the most high profile being Jimmy Carr, who Cameron called 'Morally Wrong'...
The Take That lads' arrangements were also flagged up as suspicious, so the taxman began investigating...
Last week a judge ruled that the scheme that the former Take That members were involved in was for the purposes of avoiding tax.
Leaving Gary's National Treasure status in tatters, and everyone with a whopping bill...
Still, at least David Cameron still thinks, "he's done a lot for the country" and should keep that MBE
