A super Take That fan who even has the band's autographs tattooed on her arm is desperate to get Gary Barlow to sing at her wedding.

Katie Griffiths is campaigning to get the singer to perform on her big day, after he promised he would sing at the weddings on three "huge fans".

Gary tweeted his 3.7million followers on Saturday: "Ready for some fun?

"Every week I receive thousands of requests to sing at someone's wedding.

"I want to sing at three weddings.

"The only deal is, they have to be huge fans. And all you have to do is stalk me on here."

Katie, 32, of Loughborough, is getting married to her fiance Stephen Hardy in August, following an eight year engagement.

"I am Gary's number one fan," said Katie, who has loved the band since she was eight-years-old.

"I was always going to walk down the isle to 'Rule The World' but it would be amazing if Gary could actually sing it live.

"I can't put into words home incredible it would be.

"It would be a dream come true."

Katie has got each of the original band member's autographs tattooed on her arm, apart from Jason Orange, who left Take That last year.

"Take That have always been a part of my life. They're a part of me, they make me who I am," she added.

"It just made sense to get their names tattooed on me, as well as the Take That symbol."

Since Gary made the announcement, hundreds of Katie and Stephen's friends and family have been constantly tweeting messages to the Take That singer pleading with him to choose the couple as one of his three.

Stephen has also written a poem to Gary, which includes the title of dozens of Take That songs. To view the poem, click here.

Since Saturday, hundreds of couples have tweeted the singer begging him to sing at their wedding.

By 3pm today, Gary had already chosen one lucky couple but was yet to give any details away.

Reporter Samantha Fisher asked a handful of our readers who they would want to sing at their wedding. See what they had to say:

Phil Gillett, 25, West End, student

"I think if anything, my girlfriend would sort it out. But, I suppose Barry White, Just The Way You Are. I just think the lyrics are perfect."

Wendy James, 67, Eyres Monsell, retired

"I would have anything by Elvis. An American Trilogy is my favourite, but it is a bit strong for a wedding - probably Always On My Mind. He is nice - it is the looks and the voice."

Leen Rahman, 23, from the city centre, student

"I would say, as an artist, Bruno Mars because he knows what to say to women.

"I like all of his songs - a typical choice would be Marry Me, it is a wedding type of song.

"I like his songs because of their lyrics. They are so honest. He is a sweet talker."

Chris Hercek, 51, city centre, restaurant manager

"I would go with Rose Royce singing Wishing On A Star because it is romantic.

"I do like Heroes by David Bowie, but that would not be romantic."

Manjit Shergill, 40, Oadby, deputy manager

"Gurdas Mann, a Punjabi folk singer, I like all of his slow meaningful songs. I would choose him as he has always been one of my favourite singers."

Alan Mulholland, 44, of Knighton Fields, carpenter

"John Lennon singing Imagine - that is my all-time Lennon favourite. I would choose it because it is very poignant to my family."

Lauren Greenwood, 18, Hinckley, student

"I would probably chose Jack Johnson singing I Got You mainly because of the lyrics."

Uzo Okeke, 35, Rowlatts Hill, driver

"That is a difficult one, I would like Celine Dion to sing Heart Will Go On. It is a very lovely song and my wife would definitely like it."
