Revealed: The night David Cameron blocked Take That's reunion with Robbie Williams Take That's reunion with Robbie Williams has been hotly anticipated.
But Tory Party leader David Cameron has revealed he almost prevented the reconciliation by accidentally blocking Robbie from the band’s dressing room.
Mr Cameron had gone backstage at the Royal Albert Hall on Thursday to speak to the group before they performed at the BBC Children In Need Rocks concert.

Together again: Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow unite for the finale on Thursday at the Royal Albert Hall where David Cameron almost scuppered a meeting
He told an audience in his Oxfordshire constituency on Friday that as he stood in the dressing-room doorway talking to Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Howard Donald and Jason Orange, he became aware of someone standing behind him.
A source said: ‘He thought he wouldn’t be able to finish talking if whoever it was standing behind him came into the room so he carried on and after a few minutes, he realised that this person was still trying to come in.
In the way: David Cameron did not realise he was blocking Robbie Williams' entrance
‘He turned round and saw that it was Robbie Williams, who had been desperately trying to get in to speak to the boys. Robbie told him, “It’s all right, we’ve only been waiting 14 years for a reunion – five more minutes won’t hurt.”’
Robbie’s political views are unknown, although he can count Lord Mandelson as a fan. He left Take That in 1995, as he struggled with a drug addiction, and the band split up a year later.
Robbie went on to launch a hugely successful solo career, with hits including Angels. He refused to rejoin Take That when they reformed in 2005.
Since then, the band have managed to revive their fortunes, selling out concerts at Wembley Stadium. In contrast, Robbie has struggled to match his former success.
Robbie was invited on stage by the group at the Royal Albert Hall last week, but he did not join in on any of their songs, which included Greatest Day and Rule The World. However, they sang together for the show’s finale.
Robbie said afterwards: ‘The reunion’s not happening tonight – we have to wait for something very special. But the ball is rolling for a Take That album with me. I was tearing up when I was on stage with the lads. I love them – there’s no more hard feelings.’
After meeting Take That, Mr Cameron later made a beeline for former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney, who was headlining the charity event. Other acts on the night included Katherine Jenkins, Cheryl Cole, Shirley Bassey and Paolo Nutini.
A source said: ‘He was so keen to meet Paul – he’s obviously a huge fan.
'It seemed to be his mission for the night. They talked about Paul’s music mainly. I don’t think politics came up.’
A spokeswoman for Mr Cameron confirmed he met Take That at the concert.
