ROBBIE WILLIAMS and his band-mates spent two days shooting the promo on a lake, dressed as olden-day oarsmen.

And one onlooker said: "They were having a great time - it was just five friends having a laugh."

The Sun can exclusively reveal the lads' first single since they announced this month they were reforming will be called The Flood.

Robbie, GARY BARLOW, JASON ORANGE, MARK OWEN and HOWARD DONALD pulled on Oxford and Cambridge-style rowing outfits to film on Dorney Lake, Berks, where events for the 2012 Olympics will be held.

They climbed into a specially- made sculling boat, customised to accommodate a fifth rower.

On the first day of the shoot, they were towed along by another vessel.

But on Day Two they got the hang of it and rowed themselves - collapsing in fits of giggles and taking the mickey out of each other if one of them missed a stroke.

At one point, 36-year-old Robbie stopped for a ciggie - before jumping into the water to cool off.

The onlooker said: "Robbie and the boys clearly got on very well. It was just like old times. They were mucking about and having fun.

"When they finished filming on the first day Robbie decided he needed to cool off. He jumped straight into the lake and had a little swim. No one else had the guts to join him - it was freezing!

"The boys were stuck in a five-seater rowing boat wearing old-fashioned white rowing kits bearing a custom-designed Take That crest.

"They were told to paddle like the professionals.

"They were joined by a second boat with lookalikes and filmed pretending to race - only the band were being pulled by another vessel carrying the camera crew.

"I think they found it quite hard. If you haven't done it before, sculling can be pretty difficult.

"There were lots of little kids around and at one stage they all started singing Angels and Robbie was pretending to conduct them."

The boys spent nearly four hours filming on the water on Monday - at one stage meeting up with girls from Britain's Olympic rowing team.

Yesterday they filmed the end of the video for two hours on the Thames at Runnymede, Surrey - opposite the spot where the Magna Carta was signed in 1215.

The new album featuring Take That's original line-up - Robbie, Gary, 39, Mark, 38, Howard, 42, and 40-year-old Jason Orange - is expected to attract the highest number of pre-orders in history.

The boys then hope to rake in Ј75million in the next 12 months with the album plus a stadium tour.

The multi-award winning band sold 25million records from 1991 to 1996 before Robbie quit to go solo.

They reformed without him in 2005, but now Robbie is back industry insiders predict they will be bigger than ever.

Кто их всех причесывал? Сделали таких мальчиков-зайчиков с проборчиком.

Не, ну Газ в белых шортах - это за гранью добра и зла! Дайте мне костюмера, я его задушу!

Take That have been spotted shooting their first music video since Robbie Williams rejoined the group.

The band spent two days filming the promo for new single The Flood - their first release since William's quit TT back in 1996.

Robbie, Gary Barlow and Co were seen dressed in traditional oarsmen costumes - much like the ones that Oxford and Cambridge rowing teams used to wear - as they shot the video in a row boat on a lake in Berks.

An onlooker told The Sun: "They were having a great time - it was just five friends having a laugh."

The Take That lads were said to be using a specially made sculling boat for the video - customised to accommodate a fifth member.

During the intense shoot, 36-year old Robbie stopped for a cigarette before jumping into Dorney Lake to cool off.

The source continued: "Robbie and the boys clearly got on very well. It was just like old times. They were mucking about and having fun."

"When they finished filming on the first day Robbie decided he needed to cool off. He jumped straight into the lake and had a little swim. No one else had the guts to join him - it was freezing!"

"The boys were stuck in a five-seater rowing boat wearing old-fashioned white rowing kits bearing a custom-designed Take That crest. They were told to paddle like the professionals."

"They were joined by a second boat with lookalikes and filmed pretending to race - only the band were being pulled by another vessel carrying the camera crew."

They added: "I think they found it quite hard. If you haven't done it before, sculling can be pretty difficult. There were lots of little kids around and at one stage they all started singing Angels and Robbie was pretending to conduct them."

In other Take That news, pals of reunited member Robbie claim that they believe Williams' stage fright will be cured when the takes to the stage with TT again.

A friend of the Bodies singer told The Sun: "With the boys there the stage fright won't be an issue. I know he suffered from that earlier on."

They added: "But he'll have all that support of his band of brothers. It's so wonderful that he has joined Take That again."

Robbie Williams joined Gary Barlow, Jason Orange, Mark Owen and Howard Donald as they filmed the promo for their first single together called The Flood.

The lads wore Oxford and Cambridge-style rowing outfits as they sat in a specially-made sculling boat, which was customised to accommodate a fifth rower.

The group were towed along by another vessel on Dorney Lake, Berkshire, until they learnt how to row themselves with the boys giggling and mucking around during the shoot, reports The Sun.

A source said: "Robbie and the boys clearly got on very well. It was just like old times. They were mucking about and having fun."

"When they finished filming on the first day Robbie decided he needed to cool off. He jumped straight into the lake and had a little swim. No one else had the guts to join him - it was freezing!"

The band spent four hours filming on Monday and two hours yesterday on the Thames at Runnymede, Surrey.

"They were told to paddle like the professionals," the onlooker added.

"I think they found it quite hard. If you haven't done it before, sculling can be pretty difficult."

Williams announced he would be rejoining Take That last week with an album due in November.
