Singer Gary Barlow will host a brand-new ITV travel series that will see him explore food and wine in South Africa this autumn.
The Take That star said he was "absolutely delighted" that ITV has commissioned five episodes for the new series.
Barlow, 53, who also has his own self-titled wine brand, said: "I'm absolutely delighted to be exploring my passion for food, wine and travel in this new series for ITV.
"I've always loved South Africa and I can't wait to really see all that it has to offer: the people, the places, its amazing history... and a glass or two of its incredible wine!
"This series is something that's a bit different for me - but I can't wait to get going."
The Cheshire-born star will begin the series on the Western Cape in the African country, exploring vineyards and learning about a variety of grapes.
He will then be joined by friends as he ventures to Johannesburg, where he is said to discover "a wine revolution".
Take That, which now comprises members Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen, released their ninth album, This Life, in 2023.
They are currently gearing up for a lengthy tour, with indoor dates in Dublin in April and outdoor shows in Dublin, Cork and Belfast in June.
