My kids were born to entertain

-

Robbie Williams says his kids are chips off the old block when it comes to stealing the limelight.

The X Factor judge opened up about the joys of being dad to Theodora (“Teddy”), six, Charlton (“Charlie”), four, and one- month- old Coco.

He said: “Ted’s just a fully fledged entertaine­r. She’s so much fun to be around.”

The star added: “Charlie’s really coming into his own, he’s just a little boy in his narcissist­ic world, like his dad.”

Speaking between live shows of the talent show last week, he also told how he believes he has grown up and become a better dad as he has aged.

The Let Me Entertain you singer said: “I think I come into my own as a father as I get older.”

However, the 44-year-old remained tight-lipped about the latest addition to the family, Coco, who he and Ayda Field, 39, welcomed, via a surrogate, last month.

During an Instagram live video – recorded at his west London home – Robbie also spoke about the boyband he mentors on The X Factor.

He claimed United Vibe were better than his former band Take That at this early stage of their career.

He said: “My boys at this point in the competitio­n are better than we were, Take That. They’re better than One Di rection’s f i rst performanc­e, if you take a look on YouTube.

“They’re great because they can all sing, which is off-putting.”
