Robbie Williams reveals BBC have removed raunchy sex story he told on Graham Norton show
Robbie has revealed that the BBC have removed the clip from the internet after complaints from the public
HE was crowned the Brits Icon winner on Monday night, and the next gong ROBBIE WILLIAMS bags should be for the TV moment of the year.
The singer stunned viewers of The GRAHAM NORTON Show last month by telling an outrageous story about the time he let a stranger masturbate him in the bedroom of his rented castle.
Robbie’s anecdote went viral after he told how the woman in question — who he thought was a cleaner — turned out to be a lady called Maureen from the local pub.
But thanks to stuffy PC bosses at the BBC, fans will never hear the tale again.
In an exclusive interview, Robbie has revealed that the BBC have removed the clip from the internet after complaints from the public — and even Members of Parliament — about its X-rated content.
He said: “They have taken it down, they have taken it off. Because it’s the BBC and there were complaints. I think there are MPs asking questions.”
Calling for the Beeb to change their mind, he declared: “Free the Maureen!”
Rob’s fans weren’t the only one astounded by the story — his mum Janet got the shock of her life too.
He explained: “My dad didn’t say anything, but my mum sent me an email like five days later which was like, ‘I saw you on Graham Norton, I thought you were very funny.’
“I was like, ‘Oh so that’s been acknowledged... Oh OK, that’s cool.’”
The showbiz world would be a brighter place if more stars were as frank and outspoken as honest as Robbie, and backing his decision to tell the tale, he said: “If you’re gonna do it do it proper. You want to be memorable.”
Robbie was speaking less than 24 hours after he was honoured with the Brits Icon award during a phenomenal gig at London’s Troxy, where he reunited with TAKE THAT on stage for the first time in six years.
RELATED STORIES
To commemorate his incredible achievement, I’ve dug into the archives to find a pic of Robbie performing with Take That at the Brits in 1994 — with a very fetching hairdo to boot.
With Rob’s new album Heavy Entertainment Show heading straight to No1 this week, he will back at the Brits in February to hopefully add a few more to his collection.
His most memorable Brits moment came in 2000 when he challenged LIAM GALLAGHER to a fight on stage.
He is saddened by the fact those raucous days of old are over.
He said: “I have very much learned with the Graham Norton thing, with the story I told on there.
“So many TV shows were unmemorable, nobody really remembers performances on the Brits.
“Unless you fall over, like MADONNA, nobody really remembers it. And I kind of realised it early on.
“You had to do something and say something that’s memorable, that sticks out. People are still talking about that moment now so, ‘Tick!’
“Who would win in a fight with me and Liam now? I genuinely hope it wouldn’t come to that.”
When their reunion finally comes, I just hope nobody bans us from seeing it like the Beeb.
Arterton's gems shine
WHEN IDRIS ELBA treads the red carpet, all eyes are usually on him.
But bejeweled GEMMA ARTERTON managed to overshadow the dapper hunk thanks to her gravity-defying dress.
The Brit stars were snapped at the premiere of 100 Streets at London’s BFI Southbank.
I revealed in September it features the most X-rated sex scenes the pair have ever shot.
At the premiere, director Jim O’Hanlon said: “It was awkward for all of us, believe me.
“I spoke to Gemma and said I didn’t want it to be titillating, I wanted it to be about the story in the moment. She was brilliant.
“Idris told me it was his first ever sex scene so you could really feel the tension on set.
“Everyone knew the sex scene was coming up.”
Idris avoided talking to any press following my exclusive that he left Sunday’s MTV EMAs with model JOURDAN DUNN.
Too late to keep a low-profile now, Idris.
A fine knight for Roger
IT has been a sad year for music with many all-time greats passing away.
The world has lost DAVID BOWIE, PRINCE, THE EAGLES’ GLENN FREY and BEATLES producer GEORGE MARTIN. Most recently, we said goodbye to PETE BURNS.
But it doesn’t worry ROGER DALTREY, even though THE WHO frontman could be next.
The 72-year-old said: “I don’t worry about that – that’s just life. It might be me next year.” Roger was at London’s Grosvenor House where he was honoured with the Music Industry Trust award.
Sun columnist JEREMY CLARKSON presented the trophy and used his speech to call on the Palace to make Roger a Sir.
He said: “They’ve given knighthoods to PHILIP GREEN, FRED THE SHRED, JIMMY SAVILE, then Roger’s sitting down there with a CBE. I mean, come on?”
The campaign starts here.
Cara and Heard
JUST six weeks after I revealed that old flames AMBER HEARD and CARA DELEVINGNE were doing all they could to hide their blossoming romance, they have done quite a U-turn.
JOHNNY DEPP’s ex-wife Amber tattooed supermodel Cara’s left inner wrist at California’s Shamrock Social Club on Saturday night.
Things must be going well.
