In addition to his gladiator style headdress, Robbie wore a pastel coloured tie dyed slogan top, and delivered his monologue while standing next to a gladiator helmet. 

The Rock DJ hitmaker began: ‘I was there to witness Candice’s inner business. She wants the boys to notice her rainbows, and her ponies.

‘She was educated but could not count to ten. How she got lots of different horses by lots of different men. 

‘I thank you,’ finished Robbie, before taking a bow and then cracking a smile as he broke character, with Ayda heard laughing in the background.

The singer revealed that he felt ‘lethargic, tired and heavy’ while holed up in an Airbnb down the road from his family’s mansion in Los Angeles.

Robbie’s wife Ayda and their four children had been staying at home while the star kept his distance in temporary accommodation.    

The Angels hitmaker also touched on the fact that he has been managing to stay out of ‘dark holes’ by keeping busy and looking after his mental health while in lockdown.

He told The Sun: ‘I was in quarantine in an Airbnb down the road from my family and started worrying about food, about my medication running out, about Beau and my family, and was just very fearful for a couple of days.   

Then I could feel my body was getting lethargic and tired and heavy and I convinced myself I’d got coronavirus.’

He went on to reveal that he believes his symptoms quickly disappeared, however he still kept his distance from his young family for three weeks before returning home.
