The star admitted the group - comprising Jason Orange, Howard Donald, Mark Owen and Gary Barlow - probably saved his life because their success gave him the money to beat his well-publicised drug addiction. He told a TV documentary: "Perhaps Take That saved my life. I’d have had a problem with drugs anyway, I was heading that way. "In all seriousness I would have been a dealer or a burglar and that’s the truth because I would not have had the money to fund my addiction and I’d have probably been in jail now."

Robbie has never been in love - Oct 17, 2020
Robbie Williams claims he’s never been in love. Despite high-profile romances with Rachel Hunter, Geri Halliwell and an engagement to former All Saints star Nicole Appleton, the pop heartthrob admits he’s never completely fallen for anyone.

He said: "I have never been in love. I’ve had a ’want to be’. I’ve had a giant expectation. But that giant expectation was when I was 16 and it was with a girl who was hounded by the press last year. "That was the first and last time. I had something that was.. I mean, of course I’ve had f***ing expectations. But I’ve never had a love in the sense that other people have experienced it. No-one’s ever - and I don’t think it’s anybody’s fault, other than my own - fallen in love with me in that way."

Although the 31-year-old singer says he is keen to settle down and marry, he doesn’t want it to happen for a while as he is still dedicated to his career and knows that in order to have a successful marriage he needs to be able to devote all his time to it.

He added in an interview with the Observer Music Monthly magazine: "My search for a wife has sort of ground to a halt. I’m not spiritually bankrupt this year but I know there’s something missing. I’ve got a few things to sort out before I’m ready to go into relationships again. "I just thought it would be about getting sober and then you’ll have a fulfilling relationship. Well, I’ve been sober for five years and six years out of a relationship. "I do sometimes panic that I won’t have children but then it goes. I need to get everything in my life from A to B in order to get to C."
