Long-time bingo fan Gary Barlow recently celebrated his tenth wedding anniversary and the theme was, what else but bingo! Certainly everyone in the online bingo world is aware of his fondness for the game. In fact, Gary is known to try get his celeb buddies hooked on to bingo.
Gary’s anniversary bash was attended by a host of his celebrity friends including Take That band mates, Cheryl Cole, Chris Moyles, Ronan Keating, Fearne Cotton and fellow bingo fan Denise Van Outen.
The venue was as far removed from a bingo hall as possible; it was the very swanky Mandarin Oriental Hotel in London and Gary shelled out a minor fortune to pay for the do as well put up his mates in for the night. Sigh! Wish I had friends like that!
A source told the Sun newspaper, "Where Gary finds the time to organise everything is unbelievable. He spent a lot of money to make sure Dawn had a party to remember, treating her to a couple of nights in the hotel's most luxurious suite. All their closest pals were there to enjoy it.”
Gary hosted the bingo, called out the numbers himself and made sure that bingo cards and dabbers were on all his guests’ tables and it did not take too long before everyone was completely involved in the game. The lucky winners were Beverley Knight, Denise Van Outen and Cheryl Cole who all got a full house.
All the money that was raised playing bingo that evening went to Gary’s charity of choice Barnado's. You’ve got to love this guy – he likes bingo, he has a great marriage and he gives money to charity! Things got very emotional when his Take That band mates, Howard and Mark got up and made a speech for Gary and Dawn with not a dry eye in the bingo room.
