THE chances of GARY BARLOW booking his chair on the X Factor judging panel in 2013 are looking slimmer by the day.
The TAKE THAT star has taken a real sickener to the pantomime antics on Sunday’s show, which ended in uproar over the controversial voting system that saw his act CAROLYNNE POOLE booted off the programme.Gary stormed off after LOUIS WALSH bottled the voting decision, resulting in novelty act RYLANCLARK being saved rather than Carolynne.
And the turmoil has coincided with the wheels starting to roll on exciting Take That business.
Gary, MARK OWEN, HOWARD DONALD, JASON ORANGE and ROBBIE WILLIAMS have held their first band meetings over the past week.

They are synchronising diaries for the end of 2013 so they can head back into the studio and come up with a new album.
All five members are hoping to be involved with another monster stadium tour pencilled in for 2014 — which will spell the end of Gary’s time on the hit ITV show.
A source said: “The events of the last week have really confirmed in Gary’s mind that he needs to get back to what he loves best.

“Gary and host DERMOT O’LEARY laid the law down at Mayfair’s Dover Street Arts Club on Tuesday night with the whole X Factor team.
“Judges TULISA CONTOSTAVLOS and NICOLE SCHERZINGER were both there but Louis and Gary sat at either ends of the room and hardly exchanged a word all night.

“Gary is going to give this series his all and then it will be full steam ahead for Take That.
“The lads are enjoying a bit of freedom at the moment, but they are all united in their desire to get Take That back on the road.
“A new album and tour have been discussed and all five of the boys are making really positive noises.”

Mark has written and recorded his first solo album since Green Man back in 1996. He will be touring the album in spring — which will lead nicely into the Take That studio sessions.
Jason and Howard have had their feet up, enjoying the fruits of their labour over the past few years — so they are up for getting back to work.
And Robbie, who releases album Take The Crown next month, will also be finished with his tour commitments by then.
So X Factor’s loss is Take That fans’ gain — unless ITV offer Gary another £500k in his pay packet.
