The Newcastle College health studies student said the Take That star showing up would make it a night she’d never forget.

It would also be a welcome surprise for her older sister, Natalie, who inspired her love for Gary.

She said: “He tweeted the other day, saying he showed up at weddings last year and would be doing the same with birthday parties this year.

“I absolutely love him. My sister Natalie has always listened to his music and I got into it through her. I’ve been to see him in concert and it would just be amazing if he turned up at my party.

“I can’t even explain how excited I’d feel if it happened.”
