Robbie Williams took Michael McIntyre by surprise when he unexpectedly joined the latest season of McIntyre's popular BBC program, The Wheel.
The 50-year-old singer, known for his hit "Angels," surprised his wife Ayda Field while she was appearing on a game show by herself, taking on the role of an expert about Robbie.
When Michael brought a civilian contestant into the mix, Robbie unexpectedly showed up, emerging from beneath the studio floor while seated in the center chair.
Robbie couldn't help but grin as he waved while Michael exclaimed, "No way! That really messed with my head. Anyway, hey there, how are you?"
The singer of "Let Me Entertain You" introduced himself like any other contestant, shaking Michael's hand as he did so. "I'm Robbie, I'm 50 years old, and I come from Stoke-On-Trent," he stated.
Robbie Williams left Michael McIntyre in total shock when he unexpectedly appeared on the latest season of his popular BBC show, The Wheel.
While Michael was welcoming a civilian participant to the competition, Robbie unexpectedly emerged as he was elevated from beneath the studio floor, rising from the center chair.
As an Aquarius, I tried out for a pop group and ended up being selected. The group was named Take That.
When asked how he might spend any prize money, the singer said, "I’ve got to come up with a way to support my wife's love for fashion. She needs more handbags, shoes, and makeup."
The Rock DJ star shared that Ayda, who specializes in her husband's life, has been actively inquiring about him.
Robbie mentioned, "She bombarded me with a ton of questions about myself that I had never even considered. In the past few days, I’ve learned more about who I am than I ever had before."
Ayda joked, "Robbie Williams isn't really aware of who Robbie Williams is."
Even though he was popular among both fans and stars, Michael ultimately dismissed Robbie from the spotlight.
The fifth season of The Wheel, featuring a mix of celebrities and everyday people competing for a cash prize, will also include Richard Madeley, Laura Whitmore, and Leigh Francis in the lineup.
The participants receive direction from well-known personalities in a particular field to help them correctly answer questions and potentially win a large cash prize.
Robbie grinned broadly and waved back as Michael exclaimed, "No way! That really messed with my head. Anyway, hey there! How are you?"
Robbie started off by sharing a bit about himself, just as any other contestant would. He stated, "I'm Robbie, 50 years old, hailing from Stoke-On-Trent. My zodiac sign is Aquarius, and I tried out for a pop band. Luckily, I made it in, and the band was called Take That."
The 50-year-old artist known for "Angels" surprised his wife, Ayda Field, while she was participating in a game show on her own, showcasing her expertise about Robbie.
The Rock DJ star shared that Ayda, who is well-versed in her husband, has been curious about him and has been asking him questions. She humorously remarked, "Robbie Williams doesn't really know much about Robbie Williams."
This follows reports that Robbie rejected a lucrative offer for a residency in Las Vegas.
Since leaving Take That in the 1990s, the singer has experienced tremendous success, launching a successful solo career with hits like "Angels," "Candy," and "She's The One."
The organizers hoped he would follow the lead of stars like Adele and Britney Spears. However, they were incredibly disappointed when he turned down an opportunity to perform at Voltaire, a venue where his collaborator on "Kids," Kylie Minogue, had just completed her show.
A source shared with The Sun: "They really appreciate his music and performance skills. They felt his vibrant on-stage presence and charm were just what they needed. However, when they presented their offer, Rob declined it."
They were incredibly disappointed because the tickets would have flown off the shelves in no time.
Nevertheless, the artist known for "Rock DJ" is reportedly taking his time to thoughtfully consider his next career steps, rather than jumping into a series of performances in Las Vegas.
The insider mentioned, "However, Robbie appears to be opting for a more cautious strategy regarding his upcoming endeavors."
MailOnline has reached out to Robbie's representatives for a statement.
Michael McIntyre's The Wheel is making its comeback on BBC One on Saturday, October 12th.
