ROB'S GHOSTED
Robbie Williams reveals terrifying run-in with ghoul as he claims his multi million pound mansion is ‘haunted
Robbie claims he was previously haunted by the ghost of The Mamas and the Papas singer Cass Elliot
HIS obsession with ghosts and UFOs has seen Robbie Williams travelling the world looking into the unexplained.
But after four years with no paranormal activity and life just being normal — well, as normal as normal can be for one of the world’s biggest stars — Robbie says he is being haunted again.

This time, by a spirit lurking in his shower. The perv.
Robbie said: “I’m of that age where I’m probably going to the loo like five times a night.
“And it was quarter past four, I go to the loo, sit down, shower right in front of me, shower turns itself on.
“The shower comes on and I’m disorientated.

“The wife has also got a shower, I’ve got my bathroom and she’s got her bathroom, and I think it’s coming from her bathroom and instantly I’m like, ‘Oh God, I could do without this.
“This is weird’.”
He added: “I clear my eyes and I look and the shower’s right in front of me and it’s my shower and it’s on.”
After going to turn it off, the shower stopped, added Robbie.

“I was like, ‘Oh, f*** it, leave it’.”
But it wasn’t just a one-off, as the next night, at almost exactly the same time, Robbie’s wife Ayda Field experienced it too — and woke him up to tell him.
Despite his initial excitement about his brush with the other side, Robbie is now willing his live-in ghoul to do something else, adding: “I kind have got grumpy because it’s like, ‘If you’re going to do something, turning a shower on is a bit crap’.”
Robbie Williams to buy Port Vale
Maybe it could pop the kettle on next time and sort out the brews.
Robbie previously said he’d been haunted by the ghost of The Mamas and the Papas singer Cass Elliot while he was renting a house from Ghostbusters’ Dan Aykroyd in LA.
And he claimed his £9million Wilts mansion had spirits in it.
In 2020, the former Take That singer moaned that he’d been deserted by the phantoms in his life after the birth of his four children.
Speaking about being ghosted by the ghouls, he said: “The strangest thing is that since I’ve had kids, the phenomena has ceased to happen.
“I’m guessing that once you have kids they just take up all of your energy and your thoughts.”
Now Robbie’s youngest is on the cusp of going to school, I’m guessing they know he’s primed for a haunting.
Best get on the blower to Yvette Fielding, Rob.
CARDI PUNT ON SHAKIRA
CARDI B is jumping on the celebrity trend of turning her clock back to the Nineties.
The rapper wore a pair of baggy jeans with a crop top and denim boots in her latest Instagram picture.

Cardi captioned the snap: “Either they blind or I’m invisible, b**** can’t see me in nothing . . .”
Last week, Cardi joined Shakira on her brand new track – a Spanish song called Puntería which also featured Emily In Paris actor Lucien Laviscount in the music video.
Opening up about her bond with Cardi, Shakira said: “She’s like the symbol of female empowerment to me.
“She’s so unapologetic – she says what she thinks.
“She doesn’t ask for permission, and this album celebrates that.”
Revealing she was on board before even hearing the song, Cardi said: “When she asked me I was so happy, I don’t care if she wants me to meow. I’m doing it.”
Luckily, Cardi got to do a bit more than that on the track, but I get her drift.
MADGE-IC NIGHT WITH RIO FINALE
HER Celebration Tour comes to an end this spring – and Madonna will wrap it in style.
The Like A Virgin singer will cement her status as the Queen of Pop – not that it was ever really in doubt – with the biggest gig of her career on May 4.
8
The show, on the Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro, will be free as a thank you to all her fans in Brazil, where she last performed in 2012.
The gig is expected to match one put on there by the Rolling Stones in 2006, which pulled in 1.5million people.
Sir Rod Stewart performed on the same beach in 1994 for 3.5million people.
I’d stick a lilo in the sea and watch from the waves if I could.
I was blown away by Madonna at her tour’s opening night in London in October so I can imagine she has something very special in store for the big finale.
THANKS A MOLLIE-ON FOR CASH
YOU’D have to be made of stone to not be moved by Mollie King’s epic Comic Relief bike ride.
And the Radio 1 DJ has now revealed her 500km trek raised a staggering £1.31million for the charity.

Mollie said: “No words will ever do justice to how grateful I am to every single one of you who donated.
“I’ve seen first-hand what a difference this money is going to make and how it is going to change lives.”
As well as taking on the ridiculously tough challenge, Mollie took time out of her days on the road between London and Hull to update me on her progress so I could let you all know how she was getting on.
Your amazing support helped her hit well over a million in donations.
Thank you all so much.

AFTER Olivia Coleman spoke out about pay discrepancies in Hollywood, Joely Richardson has lifted the lid on industry ageism.
The actress, who appears in Guy Ritchie's hit Netflix show The Gentlemen, said: “My agent retired quite young, to be with her mum.
"I went to get another agent and no one wanted me.
"Zero people wanted a woman over 50.”
LITTLE TIME BETWEEN SINGLES
LITTLE MIX are like buses – you wait for one new track then two come along at once.
Perrie Edwards has announced she will release debut solo single Forget About Us on April 12, which will come hot on the heels of Leigh-Anne Pinnock’s new tune, Stealin’ Love, which is out tomorrow.
Leigh-Anne confirmed her new song would be followed by “more new music in the following weeks”, meaning she could be on course for a clash with her bandmate.
Perrie teamed up with Ed Sheeran for her first tune and has also worked with Raye on a track for her album.
The record is close to Perrie’s heart as her favourite tune was written about her son with her footballer fiancé, Alex Oxlade Chamberlain.
She said: “There’s a song on the album that I wrote about Axel.
"I could listen to it on repeat for hours.”
Just like her fans.
HEIDI HAPPY TO HIT STAGE AGAIN
HEIDI RANGE looked ready to hit the stage in this sequined outfit, and she could soon be doing just that.
The singer, who spent a decade as part of the Sugababes from 2001 to 2011, is planning a return to music as her daughters are growing up.

Heidi, who was at the gala launch night of the brilliant West End show Priscilla The Party! on Monday, said of a return to singing: “Since I had the girls I’ve just wanted to spend time with them and I’ve been lucky enough to take a step back and be at home with them.
“But when they get a little bit older, definitely.
“I love singing, that’s my passion.
“So definitely I’ll explore opportunities in the future.”
BRUCE GETS IVORS FIRST
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN may be born in the USA, but he’s going to receive a top UK music award.
The multi-Grammy Award winner will be the first international songwriter recognised by The Ivors Academy.
8
Bruce will follow in the footsteps of Brit greats Sir Paul Mccartney, Kate Bush and Sting who have all been inducted into the academy’s Fellowship.
Bruce said of the achievement: “This entire country has made me feel welcome every step of the way, and for this I will always remain deeply appreciative.”
This year’s Ivor Novello Awards with Amazon Music take place on May 23 at the Grosvenor House hotel in London.
I was lucky enough to see Bruce at Hyde Park last year and this award is richly deserved.
WHO’S IN THE MONEY
THE WHO’s next tour will mark their 60th anniversary and Pete Townshend can’t wait . . . to make more money.
In an interview with the New York Times, the guitarist said: “I don’t get much of a buzz from performing with The Who.
8
“If I’m really honest, I’ve been touring for the money.”
Last year he teased a farewell tour similar to the one put on by Sir Elton John.
Pete said: “It’s time for Roger Daltrey and I to have a chat about what happens next.
“Roger wants to sing until he drops.
“That’s not my philosophy of life.
“There are other things that I want to do, still want to do, and will do, I hope.”
HUMES STYLE IT UP
EVERY celeb and their dog is bringing out a clothing range at the moment, with Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan, Kylie Jenner and Zara Mcdermott all flogging their new wares in recent weeks.
And now Rochelle and Marvin Humes are at it too.
8
The music-turned-telly power-couple have registered a new trademark for a clothing company called Hampton Boys Club.
Documents for the brand revealed the pair will be selling lounge and travel wear, along with suitcases and toiletry bags.
The logo created by Rochelle and Marvin includes “Est. 2020” – the year their son Blake Hampton Humes was born – so I presume this was an idea cooked up then.
Despite their success in music as members of The Saturdays and JLS, and as hosts of BBC show The Hit List, Rochelle and Marvin are hard-wired grafters.
As well as this new clothing brand, Rochelle has created a multi-million pound baby skincare business and last year launched a brand of drinks.
She said last week: “We worked it up around my kitchen table.
“I’ve learned so much about people, I’ve learned so much about teams, I’ve learned so much about managing different characters.
“I didn’t go to uni, I don’t have a degree to my name.
“As long as you can do your job – and want to – I’m all ears.”
