Take That star Howard Donald has reportedly spent $80,000 (?50,000) on a seaplane - although he's yet to obtain his pilot's licence.

The star is said to have splashed out on the American aircraft, which can land on water and a normal runway, and plans to start flying lessons when the band wraps up its Progress Live European tour this summer (11).

But any of his mates who were hoping for some Top Gun-style trips with him will have to wait. He doesn't reckon he'll get his licence before 2013.

A source tells Britain's The Sun, "Howard is mad on flying and it's always been his ambition to fly and own a plane.

"He's gone about it the other way round and bought an amphibious plane before he's had lessons. The tour has lined his pockets with some decent wedge, so he's splashed out.

"But any of his mates who were hoping for some Top Gun-style trips with him will have to wait. He doesn't reckon he'll get his licence before 2013."
