In one throwback photo, Gary is sporting bleach blonde hair while wearing matching boxer shorts and are posing in a photoshoot. He captioned the 90s snap: "Oh what a beast, oh what a man!" In another, the pair are again in boxer shorts while pouting to the camera, and Gary joked: "Dynamic duo." He also shared a screenshot of Matt Lucas and David Walliams spoofing them in the comedy sketch show Rock Profile, simply writing: "Amazing!" The final snap showed the pair spending time by the pool, with Howard sporting impressive dreadlocks. He wrote: "And the last one."

Gary shared hilarious throwbacks
Fans were quick to share a giggle over the photos, with many sharing their own favourite photos of the pair. One wrote: "Happy Birthday @HowardDonald. Aww poor Thing on his Birthday!! Should be relaxing." Another added: "It's great looking back at how you've changed over the years." Howard recently opened up about his friendship with Gary while Take That took part in a Red Nose Day edition of Carpool Karaoke with James Corden. Chatting about his dreadlock hairstyle, he said: "I'll tell you a story. I stayed in his [Gary’s] mansion like Disneyland in Cheshire, honestly it's like Disneyland. And because I was staying there with my dreadlocks he put polythene on the bloody pillow."
