There was cause for celebration on Wednesday as Gary Barlow and wife Dawn celebrated their 22nd wedding anniversary.
The Take That star, 50, paid tribute to his wife, 52, a former professional dancer, in an Instagram post that included photos taken on the day they met more than 30-years ago.
He wrote: ‘Happy 22nd Wedding Anniversary Mrs.B. Well what a time we’ve had. So many adventures. 4 beautiful children. Here’s to the next 22 and beyond. Check out the pics of the day we first met – 1988 !!! Shocking!!!’

The images in question saw Barlow flanked by two dancers – one of them his future wife – while taking part in a photoshoot that appeared to pre-date his early years with Take That.
A more recent photo captured the celebratory mood by featuring the couple as they each raised a glass in honour of their anniversary.
Barlow developed a relationship with Dawn after she travelled the world with Take That as a backup dancer during their Nobody Else Tour in 1995.

They married in 2000 and now parent three children together, son Daniel, 21, and daughters Emily, 19 and Daisy, 22.
However the couple suffered heartbreak when their fourth child, daughter Poppy, died during birth in April 2012.
Confirming the loss in a short statement at the time, Barlow wrote: ‘Dawn and I are devastated to announce that we’ve lost our baby.
‘Our focus now is giving [Poppy] a beautiful funeral and loving our three children with all our hearts. We’d ask at this painful time that our privacy be respected.’

The couple returned to the luxury island resort of Petit St Vincent in the Caribbean, where they posed side by side in the same positions, and on the same beach, where they had posed for a photo more than two decades earlier.
Sharing the moment on Instagram, Barlow wrote: ‘Same people, same place, 24 years apart. Dawn and I went to @petitstvincent January 1996. It was our first holiday together.
‘We always dreamed of going back. As this year we’re celebrating 20 years married we thought it would be a good idea.’
