Robbie Williams said he is ready to rejoin 1990s British boyband sensation Take That, a newspaper reported Friday.

"I'm in regular contact with them and it's looking more likely by the week. The lads all seem up for it. I think it would be fun," he told the Sun.

Williams quit the group in 1995 to launch a solo career, sparking a major feud with the other bandmates that lasted most of the next decade.

The star, 35, has healed his rift with Gary Barlow and says his old pals want him back.

Take That re-formed without Williams in 2005 and have revived some of their old success. Last year he announced they had all been playing together -- but said he still had things to achieve on his own before an official reunion.

Williams said, however, that the group could get back together within months, saying: "Let's see what happens, but my head's in the right place, so the timing could be right if (bandmate) Gary (Barlow) calls."

Take That would be following a well-trodden path if they get back together, after a surge of nostalgia comebacks including the Spice Girls, the Police, the Sex Pistols, Blur, Spandau Ballet and Led Zeppelin.
