Gary Barlow has been enjoying his time off ahead of a busy year for Take That.
The boy band star, 52, was seen soaking up the Italian sunshine with his family, taking in the sights of Venice.
Gary was photographed taking a stroll with his son, Daniel Barlow, 23, who towers above his father, standing 6 foot 2 tall.
There’s certainly no denying their relationship, though, as Daniel sports his famous dad’s blonde locks and cheeky grin.
They were joined by Daniel’s girlfriend as they explored the old historical city with a few selfie snaps along the way.
A change from the suits and smart attire we often see him in on stage, Gary was dressed in a super casual ensemble.

He kept cool in a pair of white linen trousers and a cream tee, while his offspring wore shorts and a funky shirt.
Following the gang’s little sightseeing trip, they met up with Gary’s wife Dawn Andrews to enjoy a spot of fine Italian dining.
Dawn was pictured sporting an injury and wearing a sling after reportedly breaking her wrist.
Gary and Dawn have been married since 2000, and they also share daughters Emily, 21, and Daisy, 14.

The Barlows’ love for Italian holidays is well-documented, as Gary flew the whole clan to Tremezzo, on Lake Como, for Dawn’s 50th birthday after lockdown restrictions eased in 2020.
Gary will surely be making the most of his downtime, as he’s set to head back out on the road next year with his bandmates Mark Owen, 51, and Howard Donald, 55.
Supported by Olly Murs, the Shine hitmakers will perform up and down the country for thousands of adoring fans.
But despite having a dedicated army of fans, the nineties boyband stars weren’t so sure people would even care when they announced their return to music.
‘A lot has happened since, we were last together and on tour in 2019, a lot has happened since then,’ Gary began as he spoke about their return on The One Show recently.

‘I think, for us, our message is, each time we come back, we always wonder, is this it? Is this the time when there’s nobody waiting?’
As host Alex Jones chimed in with a ‘never!’, Gary insisted: ‘We do, though!’
‘I think it’s just human to think like that,’ he added.
Take That will also release an album in November named This Life, which they recorded in Nashville.
