Gary Barlow has admitted that he is scared of flying and is currently taking classes to battle his phobia.

The 42-year-old singer has enrolled in a special course offered by Virgin to get over his fear of flying.

The 'X Factor judge' said that he scared especially of the plane taking off and gets really nervous, the Mirror reported.

He claimed maybe it's because he is scared of dying.

Talking about the course, he said that apparently once a person's done it they're never worried again as they talk you through all the noises and explain that this thing is happening for that reason.

He claimed that he doesn't know if it's hypnotherapy or what exactly they do, but it's meant to be brilliant and only takes an hour.
