Take That meet Fake That

Take That are twice the band they were, after coming face to face with their look-alikes.

The chart-topping group met a bunch of all-star wannabes for a Comic Relief sketch. Alan Carr, James Corden, David Walliams, Catherine Tate and John Bishop make up the spoof boy-and-girl-band – Fake That.

BBC One viewers saw the comedians take the stage at a Take That tribute band audition – with the real Take That sitting behind the judges’ table. And they did their utmost to capture the genuine stars’ attention with costume changes and complex dance moves.

The sketch saw Mr Walliams once more dressing up as the band’s Howard Donald, Mr Carr played Mark Owen, Ms Tate was Jason Orange, Mr Corden became Gary Barlow and Mr Bishop was Robbie Williams.

Mr Walliams said: “Being in a boy band for the day was really tiring. We had to do all the dance moves – but when Take That did it they were like 22 – I’m 39, and I just thought ‘I can’t handle this’.” Mr Bishop added: 'Obviously it's a good cause, but aside from the charity it was just a great day, I'd have paid to do it.'
