‘She gave me a life’: Robbie Williams has opened up about how his wife Ayda Field saved his life while appearing on the Jonathan Ross Show, which is set to air on Saturday
Speaking to host Jonathan, 60, he explained: ‘I look back at 15 years of being with my wife, she did, she gave me a life.
‘Here I am on the telly getting emotional. She absolutely did.’
Robbie’s pal David Walliams, who was also a guest on Saturday’s show, said that the singer was ‘miserable’ before he ‘fell in love’ and started a family with his wife Ayda.
The comedian, 49, said: ‘I would echo what you said about Ayda, you were quite miserable before you met her. I felt like, he’s got all this success and he’s not happy.

‘It took you to really, really fall in love. Also kids are the best thing to happen, they put everything in perspective.’
Speaking further about his family life, Robbie revealed that he has a different persona when performing a popstar compared with what he is like at home.
He even quipped that he does not need to ‘entertain’ and bring his well-known ‘bravado and showing off’ into his family life as his ‘wife likes’ him.
He continued: ‘At home I’m Rob. When I’m on stage I’m Robbie. People confuse me with the guy that gets on stage and gives it the big one. I wouldn’t be able to get away with that at home.
‘Robbie’s – speaking about myself in third person – that’s bravado and showing off and trying to be something in front of lots of people and trying my best to entertain them with the meagre talents I’ve got. When I go home I don’t have to do that, my wife likes me.’

The former Take That band member has been a ‘stay at home father’ to his four children for ‘nine months’ during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
The loved-up couple, who married in 2010, share two daughters – Theodora, eight, and Colette, two – and a son Charlton, six.
And earlier this year, they welcomed a second son Beau, who was born via the same surrogate who carried their third child Colette, known by her nickname Coco.
Speaking about fatherhood amid the coronavirus crisis, Robbie revealed that ‘being a dad’ has been ‘beautiful’ during the ‘awful’ year.
He said: ‘I had my hands full [in lockdown] but it’s been incredible as they now think I’m a stay at home father. They get all of me, all the time. This is the first time I’ve been out of the house for 8/9 months.

‘Covid has been awful, but for being a dad and having structure and being with them every day it’s been beautiful.’
Robbie has even channeled the difficult year into his music with his Christmas single Can’t Stop Christmas, which Ayda persuaded him to write back in August.
The father-of-four said his wife had told him not to ‘be lazy’ and gave him the idea to ‘write a song about what’s going on’ in the world amid the coronavirus pandemic.
He explained: ‘Ayda said, “Don’t be lazy”. When your wife gives you that face. She said, “There’s never been a more weird time on the planet, why don’t you write a song about what’s going on?” She said, “Call it, Can’t Stop Christmas”.
‘So off I trotted in August and got into a Christmas state of mind. You just believe it and you become it. You can access Christmas at any time. I genuinely love Christmas. I did when I was a kid.’

Robbie has returned to performing following the second Covid-19 lockdown and said it felt almost ‘robotic’ to return to the spotlight after such a long break away.
Appearing on the Jonathan Ross Show, he took to the stage and said it took him a ‘few rehearsals’ before feeling ‘ok’ about his performance.
He said: ‘I’ve been with the kids for nine months, all of a sudden there’s an audience and lights and cameras and you know it’s going to be on TV with an audience of millions.
‘You feel like you’re walking with the same hand and foot and it’s robotic. It took me a few rehearsals to be ok [ahead of tonight].’
The Jonathan Ross Show airs on Saturday at 9.30pm on ITV.
