A WANTAGE resident believes they spotted celebrity singer Gary Barlow buying biscuits in their local Tesco.

Posting on the ‘Spotted: Wantage, Grove and surrounding villages’ Facebook page, the resident said: “Has Gary Barlow (ex Take That) moved to Grove?

“Or live local, sure I saw him buying some Hob Nobs in Tesco's, I was too shy to ask for an autograph.”

The Take That singer and former X Factor judge owns a property in the West Oxfordshire village of Alvescot leading some people to believe he could have popped in on his way home.

However, others were more reluctant to believe it could have been the Back for Good singer in their local supermarket.

“I freaking wish,” commented one resident. Another added: “You never know it could have been him.”
