Take That will enforce an alcohol ban on their forthcoming reunion tour, it's been reported.

The band are understood to have taken the decision to help members Mark Owen and Robbie Williams, who have both battled a drink problem.

“It's a sensitive subject but booze will be off limits for the band and the crew,” a source told The Sun.

"The Circus Tour was one giant party and, for Mark and Robbie's sake, that just won't work this time round."

As previously reported, Take That have reformed to release a new album in November.

The band's reunion dates, which will mark the first time in 15 years that they have performed as a five-piece, are expected to take place next year.
