TAKE That band member Mark Owen sneaked into the Mayflower Theatre to watch a performance of The Band.

Mark- one third of the internationally famous trio, attended the show on Wednesday night with his wife Emma.

The couple live at Froxfield, near Petersfield, Hampshire, with their three young children.

He had been at the theatre on the show's press night the week before when Take That made a surprise appearance at the end of the show and performed a couple of songs.

It appears he returned in order to watch the show all the way through.

Russell Charlton, a maintenance worker at the Mayflower said: "Mark and his wife came in to see the show- only a few staff members knew. No one saw him as he came in through a back side door but was then sat in one of the boxes."
