‘‘
Robbie Williams’ unglamorous but sweet proposal to All Saints singer Nicole Appleton will be shown for the first time in episode one of his new Netflix documentary. Rob, now 49, popped question over the phone from the back of his
Rolling Stones Fighters Kesha Tom Morello. tour bus. But their engagement in the 90s lasted just three months. Nicole, now 48, claimed in her autobiography that her record label pressured her to have an abortion when she got pregnant with Rob’s baby during their whirlwind romance, which might explain their sudden split. Former Take That star Robbie warned that he still had “scores to settle” as we joined him at the global launch of his documentary at 45 Wellington Street in London’s Covent Garden on Wednesday. On making the streaming service film – which features his 11-year-old daughter Teddy – Rob said: “I have got some scores to settle. In the album, Pretty Vicious. Over 11 tracks, the Brit quartet bring the raucous nature of their live shows into their tunes, starting off with their swaggering lead single, Too Good At Raising Hell. Lead vocalist Luke Spiller says: “It’s some of my favourite music, hands down, we’ve ever conjured up. It’s the record everyone’s been waiting for.”
MUST HEAR 90s there was a lot said and a lot written about me, who I was and who I was not. “I wasn’t in control of that narrative and that person that they wrote about was an a***hole and the real person died inside every time there was a shaming. “There was a shaming daily, I was chased daily. For somebody that struggles with their mental health, depression, agoraphobia, body dysmorphia, dyscalculia, dyslexia – I collect them all like scout badges.” Meanwhile, Robbie’s wife Ayda told how the doc was under such a tight lock and key she only viewed it this week and had to watch it in on her own. All four parts drop on Netflix next Wednesday. Unmissable.
