Robbie Williams has said that he feels no bitterness towards his former Take That bandmates after following them on stage at London's Royal Albert Hall last night.

After his old band opened the Children In Need gig with 'Greatest Day', Williams performed 'Bodies' and 'You Know Me' at and later rejoined the group for an all-star rendition of The Beatles' 'Hey Jude'.

Williams told The Sun: "I was tearing up before I came on, knowing what was just about to happen and what the reaction was going to be like.

"We should have milked it for a lot longer. I was trying to call them back and do a bow. It's the first time in 15 years we were together, we should have at least stayed for 15 minutes."

He added: "While they were singing I wanted to grab a mic and start singing too. It would have to have been 'Back For Good'. I'm not nervous around them anymore because we've spent a lot of time around each other now.

"All the bitterness and resentment has gone. We're just left with four lovely lads who I love to pieces. It's total respect now."

Of a future reunion, he confirmed: "The ball is definitely rolling. We don't know how to do it yet, nothing is planned but I'll be keeping the Brits to myself. We'll save it for something special."

Robbie Williams has confirmed that he recently recorded some "amazing" songs with his former band Take That.

The singer, who joined the group on stage at a Children In Need charity event last week, revealed the news in a radio interview to be broadcast at Christmas.

"We'd have to have written some incredibly great songs together for me to be very, very excited about the project," he told BBC Radio 2.

"Gaz [Gary Barlow] is an amazing, amazing singer songwriter. I'm honoured to be in the same studio as him, erm, when we do, in the future."

Asked by presenter Kate Thornton if he was lying and had already recorded new material, he replied: "Oh sod it, we've been in and the songs are absolutely amazing."

Williams, whose new album Reality Killed The Video Star lost out to JLS's self-titled debut in the battle for number one, admitted that he wanted to rejoin his former bandmates so that he could feel part of a "gang".

"I want to do it because I've always wanted to be in a gang ever since I left that gang," he said.

"And all the bitterness and resentment's gone now and what is left is a load of love, and watching four guys get together and enjoy each other's company and enjoy the process of writing together. I'm envious of the joy they're having."

What a Brilliant week....The children in need gig was the most fun I've
had in a long time....So was loose women
Such a nice vibe back stage....
And the race to number 1 in the uk?
Didn't quite do it fell short by about 1,500 ..How close was that?
I called Marvin to talk to the JLS boys and sent my congratulations.They were
really chuffed and it made me feel good for them...
I was semi gutted for half an hour because I know how hard everyone's
worked...from EMI to Management to all of you that supported me and
bought the record....
Then I saw the bigger picture and realised what an amazing week it's
been ....The album's doing amazingly well all over the world
and I'm very grateful and touched by all the support
Thankyou,thankyou thankyou......
and thankyou x
P.S I get the feeling for the most part you really dig the album..and
That's the best part of my job right there...... ; )

Robbie Williams has proposed to his girlfriend, the pop star's mother Jan has confirmed.

Williams asked actress Ayda Field to be his "betrothed for the end of time" on an Australian radio show, but it was initially perceived to be a joke.

However, Jan Williams told BBC Radio 5 live that her son had revealed his proposal plans to her "a week ago".

She said she was "really pleased" for the couple, adding: "I've always wanted a daughter-in-law."

However, it is still not clear whether the radio proposal was for real - or whether Williams had popped the question beforehand.

Asked when she thought the wedding would be, Mrs Williams said: "I don't think it will be that far in the not-too-distant future, but that's all I'm going to say on that."

'Lovely match'

She added: "I'm very excited. I'm really pleased. They've been together for nearly three years, so it's about time.

"She's a great mate, as well as a lover. She's got all the qualities that he needs in a girl. It's a lovely match."

Williams was appearing on the Australian radio station 2Day FM, when breakfast show host Jackie Henderson told him that Sydney had a reputation for celebrity proposals.

Turning to his girlfriend, the 35-year-old said: "Ayda Field, I love you so much. Do you mind being my betrothed for the end of time?"

Field, who was in the studio at the time, laughed before saying: "I would love to be your betrothed 'til the end of time."

He then borrowed Henderson's frog ring and slipped it onto Field's finger. However, Mrs Williams told the BBC her son had already purchased a genuine engagement ring.

For the remainder of the show, Williams accepted the congratulations of fans who phoned in to speak to him.

But when one caller asked Williams to divulge the last lie he had told, he replied: "I told one this morning.

"I mainly just tell people the truth. With the exception of a few white lies here and there."

Earlier this month, Williams told Jonathan Ross on his chat show that he thought he was "going to be a bachelor" until he met Field.

"I was introduced to Ayda and things just changed. She's a wonderful person and I'm in love. She's really broody and I'm getting there," he said.

50 Cent has said that he wants Robbie Williams to give him a call so that they can arrange to work together.

The rapper also revealed that an earlier attempt by the pair to collaborate was foiled when Williams entered rehab.

"I've pretty much worked with everybody I want to work with in the music industry apart from Robbie Williams. I really want to do something with him," he said.
"During the Curtis album we talked about working together, and we set up some time to go into the studio to make something happen, and then he went to rehab right before we got into our session. So it never actually happened. But I still want to do it."

The 34-year-old said that Williams has a "unique voice" and a "different kind of energy to anyone", and told the Sunday Mirror: "It will make for a different kind of hit record. So make sure you tell him to pick up the phone."

50 Cent, real name Curtis James Jackson III, added that he is determined to become the first black James Bond. "We’ve got a black president. Now we need the first black James Bond. I'm down with that. I've got the watch for the role," he said.

His last worrying appearance on the X Factor left millions of viewers fearing that Robbie Williams was not up to the challenge of making a big comeback.

But now it seems, the 35-year-old pop star is ready to grace the X Factor stage again – and is being lined up to perform on the grand finale of the ITV talent contest.

Olly Murs will duet with Williams, while Joe McElderry will sing with George Michael and Stacey Solomon will be joined onstage by Canadian crooner Michael Buble.

Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartneywill also perform on the final, which will run over Saturday and Sunday.

For Williams, there will be much to prove after he left fans distinctly underwhelmed with a performance of his number one hit Bodies on the first results show of the series.

It was meant to be his triumphant comeback performance following a spell in rehab battling an addiction to prescription drugs, as he promoted his album, Reality Killed the Video Star.

But wide-eyed, unblinking and glistening with sweat, the singer regularly interrupted his lyrics to shake hands with audience members and address the crowd.

And his performance left many of the 13million viewers wondering if he was quite ready for the challenge.

Afterwards, Williams blamed the performance on a stage malfunction, as the sliding door, which was supposed to open before he sang, failed at the last minute.

He admitted he had battled nerves, saying: 'Now I don't know if you've ever had 10 million (plus) people ready to judge you on your first performance back in three years, but let me tell you, if the door between you and them isn't opening that's enough to throw you right off your stride.'

However, after the 'bizarrely odd start' he started to 'find his feet'.

He added: 'The audience were immense and the love in the room was palpable. It all felt so electric. Like three years of anxiety leaving my body.'

A show source said: 'Everyone has a lot of love for Robbie and it would be a fantastic conclusion to the series if he came back and did an immense performance.

'I have a feeling it would also lay some of his demons to rest.'

The hopefuls were yesterday taken home and Joe, 18, went back to the two-bedroom flat he shares with his mother in South Shields, County Durham, with his mentor Cheryl Cole, who also hails from Newcastle.

And the student, who is the bookmakers favourite to win with odds of 2/5, was bombarded by crowds of adoring fans.

If Joe wins, he will be swept away from his humble background for good. His mother Eileen, 47, has already revealed how he slimmed down to nine stone after binging on sausage rolls, chips and fizzy drinks, at school.

But he lost weight in a bid to get on the X Factor, running three miles every other day and using his mother’s friend’s exercise bike, as well as sticking to a diet of vegetables and low-fat meat.

Welcome home: Joe McElderry and his fellow Geordie, mentor Cheryl Cole caused a stir in South Shields last night

Eileen split from Joe’s father, probation officer Jim McElderry, 47, when Joe was a baby, but said they have a great relationship.

Single mother Stacey Soloman, 19, is second favourite to win the million-pound recording contract at 4/1, while Olly Murs, 25, is at 5/1.

Show sources revealed that Simon Cowell was upset over Danyl Johnson’s departure, saying: 'He really thought that Danyl had done enough to get through to the final.'

Meanwhile, Barry Manilow has hit out at the X Factor contestants, saying they are merely performing high-octane karaoke rather than singing a song.

He said: 'They cram extra notes into each bar and it’s all about vocal acrobatics.'

Leona Lewis is reportedly planning to collaborate with Robbie Williams.

The 'Happy' singer is expected to team up with the 'You Know Me' star to record a duet later this month.

An insider told The Mirror: "Leona is incredibly proactive. She knows exactly what she wants and where she's heading and is thrilled with these developments.

"She loves Robbie and thinks he's a real laugh - and the love-in is mutual. They're just going to go in the studio and see what comes out."

The source added: "The track will coincide with her arena tour, with the possibility that Robbie could appear on stage. Simon [Cowell] is really keen on the idea and hopes it will help Robbie come on board with The X Factor."
