I thought Robbie wife was sweet

[bloomingfeck]

Who is this woman??

I thought I had the impression from tabloids that he'd married and had kids with was super sweet and I imagined young and I guess someone like Honey in EE

The actual wife is fine... just older, more American and cosmetic than I imagined she was...

He is quite old now to be fair 44 and doesn't he live in LA?

So yabu

Oh didn't know he lived in LA. Am I confusing him with someone else???

There's a male v famous recently had kids or at least one with young sweet girl I'm sure (from tabloids)

Are you thinking of Peter Andre?

Oh!!! Yes I think so

at confusing RW with PA

I am sure RW loves his kids, but c’mon ...not as much as the orange one.

She's younger than she looks. I checked her out on wiki. I thought she was great and they seem to get on well still, whixh is always nice to see in sleb relationships. Shame she felt she had to pump her lips up because I'm sure she looked lovely even without that but maybe she likes that look.

Peter Andre

@DaphneFanshaw didn't he write that cringe song about them though?

Which one ....RW ? I honestly don’t know. I don’t know much of anything he has done since angels and the other one with the ice skating.

Wasn't there a song about being amazing?? Written for his child

This one

Ah, never heard it before.

They don’t live in LA anymore.
They live in London, in Michael Winners old house- a beautiful old house actually. Robbie wanted his kids bringing up English.
Ayda seems lovely - did you see how she was looking at Robbie when he was singing angels?
She has grounded him and made him happy.
I genuinely think Robbie would be dead now if it wasn’t for being married to Ayda and having his two ( unparaded for the tabloids) children.
i thought they were both great and I LOVED tonight’s episode - for the first time in 14 years im actually looking forward to next weeks episode!!

@yorkshireyummymummy yeah she's fine. Nothing wrong with her... just wasn't who I expected.

But then I did have RW confused with PA

I like her. They're obviously devoted to each other and are loving parents. I think it was on LW that a video Robbie's daughter was shown (blurred out) singing and he was in tears.

I think it will be an interesting xfactor. Although we generally only watch the auditions as the live shows get a bit tedious and we're onto Strictly by then

Nothing wrong with her except that she has no more qualifications to judge than any of the rest of us so what is the point. Panel is very poor this year.

I was pleasantly surprised with the xfactor tonight the judges were all nice and Robbie and Ayda are just lovely together. I agree with pp that Rob would most likely be dead if he hadn't settled down with her.

Their daughter Theodora will be a bridesmaid for Eugenie.

Omg I am so out of the loop. Robbie lives in London now!? I might literaĺy bump into him at any moment!

Is RW long running feud with Jimmy Page still going on?

Yes, as far as I’m aware Jimmy is still banging on about Robbie extension damaging his Homes foundations.
I know Jimmys house is spectacular and architecturally important but if Hitlers bombs didn’t mess up his foundations I’m sure Robbie extension won’t - it’s not like they are terraced- they are both detached .

Garlicbread I have NO idea how you can think the panel is poor.
Robbie Williams is (I think) the most suceesful solo artist we have ever had, and he was in one of the biggest British bands of the 90s.
Louis is in the biggest band to come from X factor , sold millions of records and broke America - which is not easy. He knows exactly what it’s like to do audition, boot camp, live shows etc.......how could you have somebody better? Cowell knows what he is looking for and what works. And Ayda- well ok, she has a dozen years knowledge of the record industry being married to Robbie and she knows what she likes and what she doesn’t . She has an opinion like we all do! I have no music 8ndustry experience or ballroom dancing but I sit on the sofa and judge every singer and dancer (on strictly) - as we all do! Are our opinions not valid?
One of the most important things for judges to have is chemistry - Robbie and Ayda have it inbucketloads. The judges seem to get on really well which is important too.
I loved Nicole Shertzinger as a judge but this panel is the best chemistry wise that I have seen. And I think they will be FAB!!
And 8m not an avid X factor fan. I haven’t watched the last two years at all, didn’t watch the one with Grimshaw in it either or the year whereDermot didn’t present ( don’t know if they were the same or different years)......but there’s somethimg about this panel which says there will be fireworks !!

I think it's a great panel. Robbie is fab. He's going to shake up a boring show and make it fun. I love the way he participates with the contestants and whips up the audience

The guy who sang Angels. Yeah, he wasn't great and probably shouldn't have gone through to the next round, but his delight at singing Robbie's biggest hit WITH Robbie was fantastic. I hope there are more moments like that.

I really like her, cosmetic enhancements aside. It must be par for the course to have botox and lip plumping and stuff when you live a showbiz life. She'd probably be criticised if she dared look a bit weathered
I think she's rescued Robbie from disappearing up his own backside and I love the fact that no-one has a scooby what their children look like.

Unlike Peter and Emily Andre who happily share every fart and belch with OK. Then again, their photoshoots are their biggest form of income - I know Emily is a qualified doctor but I don't think she's actually working as one. I just hope their children don't grow up thinking that they, too, are z list celebs, and carry on the family tradition of airing their dirty laundry for ££££££££.
