Fans of Take That are gearing up for the release of Netflix's upcoming documentary series, named after the band, which tells the unbelievable story of one of the world's most successful boy bands.

The three-part series goes behind the scenes with Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Mark Owen, Jason Orange, and Robbie Williams as they open up about the highs and lows of global fame.

After stealing the hearts of millions of fans, the band's first split in February 1996 had devastating impacts of some of the band members.

Now-retired singer Jason Orange stayed with the band until their separation in 1996, when he went on to pursue a short career in acting, starring in the crime drama series Killer Net.

However, he soon decided acting was not for him, and would go on to reunite with the band in 2005 and perform as part of The Circus tour.

The documentary includes footage from the our, which shows Jason addressing screaming fans as he stood proudly on stage.

However, earlier footage of the star in his youth suggested he may not have been as content as he seemed.

In a voiceover, he can be heard admitting: "When I was in Take That the first time around, I was the dancer of the band and I accepted it at the time.

"I was told not to bother singing, ever. I suppose I couldn't tell people how I really feel and I can't even tell you what I went through to get there. So this time, singing, it's such a pleasure for me to do it."

Proud of their friend, his fellow stars said: "Jay has the most beautiful voice, his tone and the way he sings is so beautiful. He never over-sings, he's a very gentle singer."

In 2014, Orange announced his official retirement from the band and the music industry, saying in a statement: "I want to start by saying how proud I am of what we have achieved together over the years.

"I have spent some of the best years of my life with Take That and I'd like to thank everyone who has been a part of my journey, including my band mates, who I feel are like brothers to me.

"Most especially my gratitude goes to all of the good and kind, beautiful and ever-loyal fans of the band, without whom none of this could have been possible. Thank-you."

The star said he was "proud" of what the band had achieved since forming in 1990, adding: "At the end of The Progress Tour I began to question whether it might be the right time for me to not continue on with Take That.

"At the start of this year and with my full knowledge and blessing the guys began writing new material. There have been no fallings out, only a decision on my part that I no longer wish to do this.

"I know how much Mark, Gary and Howard enjoy writing and making music, and they know that they have my full support and encouragement to continue on with what is to be another chapter for the band."

Take That airs on Netflix on January 27
