Gary Barlow's wife, Dawn Andrews, has been described as the 'unsung hero' of his career, despite not being featured in the new Netflix documentary about Take That. The 56-year-old former dancer, who married Barlow in 2000, is said to have been instrumental in supporting him through his struggles with low self-esteem, eating disorders, and prescription drug dependency.
A source told the Daily Mail: 'Without Dawn, Gary would have probably remained in the many ruts he has found himself in forever. She is literally the unsung hero of his success.' The source added that Dawn has 'put so much of herself on hold to be Gary's rock' and described her as 'incredibly selfless' and 'never ever seeks to take the limelight.'
The three-part Netflix documentary revisits the highs and lows of Take That's history, including the feud between Gary and Robbie Williams. In the series, Gary recalls how Robbie criticised his solo single in a press conference, calling it 'awful,' and admitted it was the first time he felt real negativity towards his former bandmate.
Fans have noted that Dawn, who performed as a backing dancer for Take That in the early days, was not interviewed for the documentary. The Mirror has contacted Gary's representatives for comment.
