Einen Knirps haben "Take That"-Herzensbrecher Mark Owen und Freundin Emma Ferguson schon, jetzt wird die Kleinfamilie vergrößert: Sohn Elwood Jack, 21 Monate alt, bekommt ein Geschwisterchen! Ob es sich dabei um ein süßes Mädchen handelt oder aber um einen weiteren Jüngling, der später einmal im Papas Fußstapfen als Frauenschwarm treten kann, gab der Musiker in dem offiziellen Statement auf seiner Homepage nicht bekannt. Fest steht bislang nur, dass der Nachwuchs als erstes den Duft von Plätzchen und Tannennadeln schnuppern wird: Mini-Owen soll nämlich im Dezember, mitten zur Weihnachtszeit, auf die Welt kommen!

Take That Star's Little Secret

Mark's sis X-cels.

WANNABE Tracey Owen aims to follow in the footsteps of her brother Mark from Take That.

The budding singer was determined to shine for the judges after being inspired by 36-year-old Mark's huge boyband success.

LOVED

So she was delighted when she impressed the panel - Simon Cowell, 48, Cheryl Cole, 25, Dannii Minogue, 36, and Louis Walsh, 55.

They told her: "We want you back. For good!"

Now Tracey, from Manchester, has gone through the X Factor boot camp where the judges whittle numbers down to their faves for the live show.

And insiders claim she is good enough to reach the final stages of the contest.

A show source said: "Tracey is very down to earth. She tried not to play on the fact she is Mark's sister because of the expectations that would bring. But word leaked to the judges.

"Luckily for her, they loved her."

Auditions are now nearly over and the ITV series is due to return to our screens next month.
