In a moment that made his friend Eliot laugh, Gary said: “Oh, I needed that pee, it really turned me on.” Sorry boy, it’s been a long time.
“It’s quite nice to be here. I must say it’s very nice.”
While watching Monday’s episode, a fan pointed out the size difference between Gary and Eliot when they went into the bathroom.
“Gary Barlow’s best friend is scared, he doesn’t know why he’s so big,” they wrote.
“We drank a lot of wine and laughed a lot,” Gary says of the series. ‘And the big discovery when we arrived was that Michaela Strachan had lived there for 20 years. I never realized.
‘Michaela was on Take That’s first television appearance, she introduced us on The Hitman And Her. He took me kayaking to Seal Island.
When asked if the wine lover owned a vineyard, Gary said: “Oh God, no.” I don’t know if I would love it, to be honest.
“The role I play in all of this is to offer my audience the ability to choose what I believe is the best wine in the world and make it affordable.”

And now he talks about his passion on TV. ‘ITV suggested we do something. I said, “I have a 15-second proposal for you: me, friends, wine, food, travel.” They said, “When do we start?”
South Africa looks spectacular on the show, and Gary says: “We were blessed every day with the most incredible scenery. That coastline is so beautiful and the vineyards have their own beauty.
However, there were difficult moments. ‘It’s a complicated country and you definitely feel it. We ended up in Johannesburg.
‘We know the history and it seems like a place that is healing, but not completely healed yet. We had security with us. We have to do it.’
In the first of five episodes, Gary and his friend and fellow songwriter Eliot Kennedy visit vineyards in Stellenbosch to taste and blend wines, explore the landscape on jeeps and electric bikes, and receive vinotherapy, a spa treatment that uses grapes to cleanse the body. .
They also try a Braaibroodjie, which is a cheese toastie cooked over hot coals, as Gary said: ‘We went to the Constantia region, where my favorite dessert wines come from.

“The chef trained in France, lived in Asia and then returned to South Africa. We had the simplest tuna sashimi, he added grapefruit, it was incredible, really delicious.’
In the second episode, Gary stomps grapes in the Cape Winelands and then meets Michaela for a ‘jazz safari’ in Cape Town.
They return home with musician Hilton Schilder to try his Cape Malay chicken curry.
“The chef canceled on us somewhere else, so Ben Shephard and I had to cook,” Gary said of the show.
‘Well, we were doing the braai, so we threatened to burn some food. That was the best he could do, but it was a good laugh.
