Take That star cuts a casual figure in a mustard shirt and peach shorts as he unveils surprise new career at Cheshire Oaks' 30th anniversary gig
The singer, 57, who rose to fame as part of the iconic pop group, showed off his DJ skills on stage, dressed in a ribbed mustard button-up shirt over a white vest, paired with oversized peach-coloured shorts.
He completed his laid-back look with a pink baseball cap and seemed to be in his element as he mixed tunes for the crowd.
However, while Howard's DJ set may have surprised some attendees, he's no newcomer to the scene.
Performing under his DJ alias DJ HD, he has played at renowned clubs and festivals around the world, including Gatecrasher in Birmingham, Eden in Ibiza, and Ministry of Sound in London.

His sets typically feature a blend of house, funky, and vocal-driven electronic music.
Later in the evening, Pussycat Dolls star Kimberly Wyatt, 43, also took to the decks, energising the crowd with a dynamic set.
The American singer stunned in a figure-hugging, sparkly white jumpsuit with flared legs.
She styled her blonde locks in a sleek ponytail and accessorised with silver, chain-linked drop earrings.
The anniversary gig marks a flagship celebratory event, as the brand continues to honour its storied past, exploring how fashion and shopping habits have evolved since its doors first opened in 1995.
Earlier this year, Cheshire Oaks unveiled its 2025 Style Report, revealing that 63 per cent of Brits now prefer shopping in person rather than online.
As well as the resurgence of nostalgic fashion trends from the 90s, from baggy trousers to full denim looks, returning to pride and place in wardrobes across the UK.
As the UK's largest designer outlet, with over 400,000 sq ft of retail space and a vibrant community of more than 165 brands, Cheshire Oaks continues to shine as a landmark of British retail innovation and culture.
Kenny Murray, General Manager at Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet, said: 'This anniversary is a moment to celebrate the rich history and vibrant future of Cheshire Oaks.
'We have evolved continuously over the last three decades, and now it's time to celebrate in true style.
'Over our 30 years we've built a real sense of community that makes this centre special and we want to celebrate this milestone with the local area and people so close to our heart.'
'This summer's music event, crowned by a secret headline act, promises to be a truly special experience, and a way that we can give back to the loyal customers who have trusted us to bring them the latest fashion trends since the 90s, we can't wait to enjoy it with them.'

Tesco launches limited-edition birthday cake sandwich inspired by Victoria sponge: ‘Get it while you can'
A brand new limited-edition sandwich launched by Tesco has divided opinions as the supermarket giant tells shoppers to 'get it while you can'. The Birthday Cake sandwich has been launched for four weeks in 1,000 locations across the UK. It can be purchased alone for £3, or as part of Tesco's popular meal deal offer for £4 alongside a drink and snack (£3.60 for clubcard members). It has been released to mark the 30th anniversary of the launch of the Tesco Clubcard, the retailer says. The sandwich 's ingredients bear resemblance to a Victoria sponge – a popular birthday cake option. Between two slices of brioche-style white bread, it contains full-fat soft cheese, seedless strawberry jam, sprinkles, and vanilla frosting. Tesco says the sandwich was developed over the course of nine months by its innovation team, describing it as 'an all time favourite treat, in an all time favourite deal.' Nutritional information for the sandwich shows that it contains 515 calories with 8.4g saturated fat (42 per cent of an adult's reference intake) and 31.5g sugar (35 per cent of reference intake). The intriguing product from Tesco comes after the success of M&S's strawberries and cream sandwich which was a viral sensation in June, becoming the supermarket 's best-selling sandwich in the two days after its launch. It was inspired by the popular Japanese 'furutsu sando,' which sees fruit fillings and cream put between two slices of pillowy milk bread. Tesco's new birthday cake-flavour offering is less precedented, however, and has seen shoppers divided. Popular Manchester-based food reviewer John's Snack Reviews (@johns_snackreviews) told his 26,000 followers that they should 'run to Tesco' after he tried the sandwich – but others are less convinced. Meanwhile, online creator Bella Hill (@ said the sandwich's filling looks like 'coleslaw,' before telling her 125,000 followers 'no, don't do that.' However, she then admitted the aftertaste 'wasn't too bad,' comparing it to a Victoria sponge cake. Another reviewer, @tipscostoflivingcrisis, told his 102k followers: 'This isn't good for you at all, but everyone deserves a treat now and again.' After trying it, he described it as 'disgustingly tasty.' Violaine Barthe, brand manager at Tesco said: 'With 3.1 million sandwiches sold in Tesco each year, sandwiches make up a big proportion of Clubcard purchases and so there was only one way to celebrate Clubcard turning 30. 'The Birthday Cake sandwich is a celebration not to be missed and we can't wait to hear the nation's feedback.'
