The occasional Loose Women star later shared a photo of some expletive slogan balloons that said “old git”, “Happy f***ing birthday”, and “old as f**k.”

Rob’s birthday celebrations come just days after he confessed to smoking marijuana in Buckingham Palace during the 2012 Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Concert.

He made the revelation while denying rumours he had once been sick there.

Robbie said: “Threw up in Buckingham Palace? No,” before adding: “I smoked a spliff in Buckingham Palace.”

Robbie, who has daughter Teddy, four, and son Charlie, two, with wife Ayda, has been open about his use of the class B substance.

In 2013 he said he still uses the drug recreationally, despite two trips to rehab.

He said at the time: “The last time I got high was two days ago. No big drug sessions, mind, just a small amount, purely to relax.”
