Jax Jones addresses THAT collab with Take That
Is it happening or not?!
Last updated 27th Feb 2024
Jax Jones joined us in on Saturday Morning with Angellica, James and Matt to talk about his brand new collab 'Never Be Lonely', with Zoe Wees and Pokemon.
The DJ, also addressed THAT collab that he started teasing before Christmas, after he posted a photo of himself with Take That...
Will Jax Jones and Take That do a collaboration?
It was two months ago that Jax posted a photo with none other than Mark Owen, Gary Barlow and Howard Donald, telling his fans he wanted some input from his fans.
However, it's all gone a bit quiet, so here at Hits Radio, we really wanted to know what's happening, and Jax opened up about it, admitting they haven't recorded anything yet.
"I'm trying to lock down Gary (Barlow) in the studio!" Jax said: "My guy's on a ski holiday right now. Literally, I was like 'Bro!' Because he reached out, (saying) 'Are we actually going to do this?' I said: 'Yeah, we're going to do this when you're back'!"
But, Gary has been to Australia and back, and is now on a ski holiday, and Jax hasn't heard back from him. He went on to say: "Gary's just living his best life, all I've got is a picture of Gary and his wine that he gave me for Christmas.
"That might be all I'm getting!" he joked: "But yeah, Take That and Jax Jones, that should be sick man!"
Is Jax Jones on Celebrity Big Brother?
With Celebrity Big Brother on the horizon we were really keen to know if Jax Jones was heading into the House, as the promo video for the series features someone that looks VERY like the 'Whistle' DJ. However, he denied any involvement!
When asked by Angellica if it was him on he video, Jax seemed surprised, he said: "What, you think it's me? I'd be shook to go into that, can you imagine? I would never! No way, I'd be dry."
Angellica then asked why he thought he'd be dry, with Jax admitted: "When I'm not doing music I'm just chilling, I'm just quiet man! You know what I'm saying?"
With CBB not Jax's cup of tea, he did reveal he'd be up for Gladiators, if there was a celeb version of the rebooted series.
Jax Jone was chatting to Angellica, James and Matt are on Hits Radio on Saturday morning.
