And in a rare TV moment , which begins on Friday, his daughter Emily and her boyfriend, Marshall, join the star in Queensland.

The trio end up making their way through the rainforest on inflatable mattresses before taking a train through the local sights.

"My daughter reluctantly agreed to be on the show. She said, 'I'll do it for you, dad.' And we ended up having the best time," Gary told The .

During the show, Gary also makes a reference to his time on the , which he served as a judge on from 2011 to 2013. Joined by Danni Minogue for one episode, the pair are seen spending time at a ground before Gary tries his hand at brewing a coffee for Danni.

"I don't like it, I love it," says Danni to a laughing Gary after trying the coffee, with the remark a reference to judge Simon Cowell's famous phrase on the show.

While he may seem full of laughs on the show, Gary says it was nerve wracking swapping the stage for the screen in the series. "I'm always nervous for things like this, it is different.

"I'm not a presenter, I've never trained in that and I am in a presenter role for the show. So, I was nervous doing it. I know quite a bit about wine now too, but I don't want to come across as an expert because I'm not.

"So, I approached this as a student. I'm learning and people at home will be learning too. We've got quite a fan base for the show now, so, I can't wait for them to see this new series."

Gary Barlow's Food and Wine Tour: Australia begins on Friday at 2pm on ITV and ITVX.
