Summary
This week on the pod it’s a Rob - off! Rob Brydon is invited into the home of music legend, Robbie Williams. Rob explores Robbie's early life as a singer in Take That, his supersized lifestyle and what big plans he has for the future: from a hotel in Dubai, to his love for art and creativity. Robbie also talks candidly about his family life and reveals that it was a bit of a guilty conscience and bumping into each other at David Walliams' birthday party that led him to ask if he could be a guest on this podcast. As if we’d ever say no…So, let us entertain you!
