Take That singer Howard Donald has lost a court bid preventing a former girlfriend from revealing details about their affair.

The 42-year-old star was granted a super-injunction seven months ago after receiving a text message from soul singer Adakini Ntuli.

But at the High Court in London yesterday (November 16), Lord Justice Maurice Kay ruled that he should no longer be protected.

According to The Sun, Donald, who has two children but has never been married, began seeing Adakini in 2000 while still in “other relationships”.

The revelation comes in the week that Take That are set to storm the UK album chart with ‘Progress’.

The album is the group’s first record in 15 years to feature former member Robbie Williams.
