Heart Radio presenters Jamie Theakston and Zoe Hardman got more than they bargained for when Robbie Williams turned up to a video interview naked. “Um, are you naked?” Theakston asked, Robbie then replied,“Yeah I’ll show you…” and moved the camera down his body, “I’m completely naked, yeah,” he said. Heart Radio posted the footage to their Twitter page on Monday.
Theakston, slightly baffled, asked him: “You knew we were having an interview this morning – why didn’t you take it any more seriously? Why are you just lying in bed naked?” Williams responded, “Because I think that people need to be more authentic when they do interviews and be more relaxed.”

The latest single is “about the times in my life when I’ve abandoned myself to reckless behaviour” the star said on Twitter. The album celebrates 25 years of the Robbie’s solo career and features several of his number one singles all newly orchestrated by Jules Buckley, Guy Chambers and Steve Sidwell.“I put a lot of my favourite songs on the XXV album.

It’s just limitless and it’s endless…I’m going to be a very, very busy man.”
