Gary Barlow shared a rare snap of his towering son Daniel, after celebrating his impressive fitness acheivement in a gushing post.
The Take That star, 53, shares son Daniel, 24, and daughters Emily, 22, and Daisy, 15, with wife Dawn Andrews and took to social media to share rare pictures of himself with his kids on a recent holiday.
In one snap, Gary’s eldest – who stands at 6ft 2 – was seen towering above his 5 ft 7 dad as they looked towards the sea.
The father-and-son-duo had their arms around each other as she gazed out into the distance during the family outing.
The snap came shortly after Gary celebrated his son’s achievement completing the Ironman competition, which saw him tackle a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride, and 26.2 mile run.

He wrote: ‘We just couldn’t be prouder of our boy – unbelievable amounts of training and determination – when you put in the work you get the results.
‘Congratulations #ironman.’
In a previous admission, the former X Factor judge shared a video of himself and his son training together and noted that he ‘loved nothing more’ than their quality time together.
He wrote: ‘There’s nothing I love more than spending time with my kids. Here’s a little video of Dan and me having a Father and Son training session.
‘I’m very proud of my boy and his commitment to his fitness. Don’t look at the difference in weights.
‘Making fun of the size difference, he added: ‘Don’t notice that I’m stood a little further forward to make the size gap smaller. Lol.’
The Shine hitmaker has previously opened up about how ‘proud’ he was of Emily after she decided to head off to university in 2022 for a four-year course.
The youngster had initially planned to go onto higher education in 2020, but had her plans scuppered by COVID-19.

At the time, Gary told Zoe Ball on her BBC radio show: ‘They are pretty good, one is at university. One is taking a year off, was meant to be going to uni but she doesn’t want to with all this going, on which I completely understand.
‘Our youngest is 11 now, which is like… well they’re not kids really anymore. Although, they always are to us.’
On a more sombre note, Gary and Dawn lost baby Daisy in 2012 when she arrived stillborn and he recently admitted that he ‘hadn’t found peace’ with it yet.
Speaking on The Imperfects podcast, Gary spoke candidly about his family tragedy as he explained: ‘I don’t talk about this in great detail and I literally don’t because I’m still kind of figuring it out a little bit.
‘My wife’s emotions were completely different to mine. I’ve been angry for a long time about that, I haven’t really found peace with it yet.’
