'I think it would be nice to get up on stage and do a couple of numbers with them now that I'm back on the scene,' he told Metro.co.uk in an exclusive chat.

'It would be great to get my new single Gotta Be Somebody out there. I'd love to do a one-off performance or a few performances with them. We'll see if they'll consider it.'

Take That frontman Gary Barlow once admitted in his autobiography My Take that he was considering asking Shayne to replace Jason Orange at one point as his bandmate was thinking about leaving.

Luckily for Take That fans, Orange decided to stay and Ward said that even though he's a big fan, he would have said no if Barlow had offered him a spot in the group.

'It was actually my sound engineer who was reading the book at the time and mentioned that my name was it.'

'Joining Take that would have been fantastic and a great opportunity for me but I always would have felt that Take That is Take That with Jason.'

'I don't think I would have joined, not because I don't love their stuff - I absolutely do - but I just feel if it's going to be Take That it needs to be the five original members.'

Ward also claimed that he wasn't worried about being forgotten by his fans because he's been keeping in touch using Twitter.

'You always wonder when you go away about your fan base but that's the good thing about Twitter.'

'I can let the fans know what I'm up to every single day. I know that they've been waiting for 3 years.'

'The belief has always been there in the label and myself. It's exciting.'

Shayne's new single Gotta Be Somebody is out on November 7 with Obsession out a week later.
