ROBBIE Williams experienced the negative side of working with his wife on last night’s X Factor – after being caught ogling a stunning busty Greek contestant.
The singer, plus boss Simon Cowell, couldn’t hide their admiration for Athena Manoukian in the episode, putting her through to the next round without even mentioning her singing.
Robbie smiled throughout her sexy performance of Beyonce’s Crazy In Love, in which she was flanked by female dancers, which didn’t go unnoticed by wife Ayda Field, who gave him daggers once she left the stage.
In a desperate bid to save face, the Rock DJ star uttered: “So, so ugly.”
Ayda knows all about Robbie’s eye for women having ribbed the former Take That star about his lothario past during her stint on Loose Women last year.
Earlier in the episode he pulled his dad Pete from the crowd to take his place on the judging panel, just as I told you he did back in July.
However, the weekend’s shows weren’t all fun and games for Robbie.
On Saturday night, he received a storm of flak after asking for a transgender contestant’s birth name, which some fans branded “shameful” and “disrespectful”.
However, singer Felix Shepherd came to his defence and tweeted yesterday: “Robbie meant no harm by it, honestly, I took no offence.”
He’s already in Ayda’s bad books.

Now it's Steph and Domicile
STEPH and Dom Parker are nearly as passionate about hotels as they are about wine – and now they are putting their knowledge of the former to the test.
I can reveal the posh ex-Gogglebox couple have been given an afternoon property show on Channel 4 helping wannabe hoteliers to relocate and change their lifestyles. It starts next year.
They’ll advise twins on the brink of renovating a 19th Century relic into an Italian-inspired B&B, a couple who are opening the doors to their 18th Century boutique hotel and many others.
Dom said: “Let’s hope we can inspire some of these new hoteliers. Quick sticks and chin chin.”
Channel 4 has real faith in Escape To The Manor Hotel as it has given the booze-loving pair a whopping 20 episodes to play with.

Stu's girl guns for his shooter
EVIL Stuart Highway hasn’t got many allies in EastEnders but he will soon have one person in his corner.
His estranged daughter Zara arrives in Walford only to find out the villain’s life is hanging in the balance after his shooting.
Stuart’s brother Callum, aka Halfway, breaks the news to fiery Zara, played by The Bill’s Faye Daveney, who does not react well and heads straight for hospital.
A TV source said: “Callum tells Zara about Stuart getting shot and she rushes to be at her father’s bedside.
“Zara demands answers from Halfway and tensions quickly rise and she ends up slapping her uncle.
“Faye will only be in it for a few episodes but she sure makes a name for herself.”
The BBC soap’s latest whodunnit, which has Danny Dyer’s on-screen family the Carters at its centre, continues tonight with Stuart’s shooter still unknown.
I hope it’s not Dot Branning.
