Robbie Williams says his Netflix documentary will have ‘no rules’ when it comes to filming
ROBBIE Williams says his Netflix documentary will have “no rules” when it comes to filming.
The Let Me Entertain You singer is allowing cameras inside his £17.5million Kensington mansion, and while he does have editorial control, Robbie insists nothing will be off-limits.
And he promises: “It’ll be full of sex and drugs and mental illness.”
The singer said: “They haven’t started. I’m sure it will be warts-and-all, and I’m sure it will be me giving away too much information about my life and times. I’m looking forward to getting it started and finding out what it is myself.
“No rules. I’m more likely than most people to leave everything in, I very rarely, if ever, have said, ‘That’s too much, take it off.’ I normally think that it’s not enough.”
In an interview with a New Zealand radio station, Robbie added: “I do have editorial control. But they’re very, very lucky because I want to expose myself more than anybody else exposes themselves. Most people want to do some sanitised version of themselves because they’re scared of giving too much of their real life away.

“The audience can see that and I don’t respond very well as an audience member to that, so I won’t be doing that.”
Although he is an open book, Robbie does not think he will allow his four children, Teddy, nine, Charlton, seven, Coco, three, and two-year-old Beau, to feature but his wife Ayda Field will be part of the show.
He added: “I don’t think the kids will be involved.
“There will be me giving away too much information about the inner workings of my mind.”

It comes after Robbie recently celebrated the release of his latest album, XXV, which marks his 25th year as a solo artist.
Despite seven No1 singles and 14 chart-topping albums, Robbie revealed he is still learning to accept his talent.
He said: “There are lots of people who dig what I do but there are an awful amount of people who think I’m the worst thing on the planet since that massive spotlight fell on me.
“It ebbs and flows — life — and at the moment the flow is not ebbing. I’m happy, I am doing better than OK.”
Rita’s plan is Ora-some
IT has been four years since her last album but Rita Ora has just completed her third record, after considering whether to quit singing altogether.
The Anywhere star has opened up about how she found it “psychologically” difficult to cope with fame and admitted it almost drove her to pack in music.
Rita, right, explained: “I’ve felt like quitting. I was like, ‘Is this worth it? What am I doing?’ As I got more famous, I understood that people look up to you.
“You become a role model and sometimes you are not ready for that because you only wanted to make music. Now you are being followed by millions of people. So psychologically it is really intense.
“You have to stay true to your friends who you have known for years.”
Despite the rocky patch, newly married Rita confirmed she has big things in store for next year – with the release of her next album and acting in a new film.
Asked what she was working on, while visiting in her family’s native Albania, she explained: “A new album – January next year. It’s going to be great. More music and a film. My dream is to show everybody that you can do more than one thing.
“You can be a musician, actor, dancer, mother, aunt all at the same time. I want to try and do everything.
“Now I am 30 it’s time to get this ball rolling.”
Rita, who wed film director Taika Waititi in the summer, said the new release was inspired by her experiences of falling in love.
She added: “I wanted to make this a very raw, musical record. Maybe get a few bottles of whatever you drink when you listen to this album.”
You don’t have to tell me twice.
Damn straight
MEL B says a stylist asked her to straighten her famous natural curls on the 1996 set of Spice Girls hit Wannabe.
“They sked me to straighten it, but I said no. My hair is part of me,” she told the Sunday Times Style mag. Mel, who is known as Scary Spice in the group, said: “If I change my hair, I change who I am.”
Zendaya in first lace
THERE wasn’t a stitch out of place when Zendaya hit Paris Fashion Week.

Zendaya, who last month scooped the Emmy for lead actress following her role in the HBO drama, is dating Spider-Man actor Tom Holland, with the pair recently celebrating his 26th birthday in New York.
Let’s hope he doesn’t get caught up in this web of an outfit.
David guests to top
DAVID Guetta and Bebe Rexha have overtaken Sam Smith and Kim Petras in the Official Singles Chart.
Sam and Kim reached No1 with Unholy last week but have dropped down a place as the French DJ scooped top spot with I’m Good (Blue).
Elsewhere in the charts Lewis Capaldi retained his place at No3 with new track Forget Me while Beyonce jumped five places to No9 with Cuff It from her album Renaissance.
It comes after Sam revealed they were “truly overwhelmed” following the release of Unholy.
Thanking fans on Instagram, Sam added: “Touched with all the love right now. This one took some courage and a village to bring to you.
“Massive shout out to the sensational Kim Petras – you are a star and I’m so honoured to be part of your music book.
“To everyone involved in making and creating this unholy world, I love you. But you know this.”
Bra-vo for outfit Nic

Emotional Victoria was in tears as she walked the runway after her hit show.
Orlando’s dive stunt gives Katy the willies
ORLANDO Bloom has performed his fair share of movie stunts but his latest project is so dangerous that he is having to reassure fiancée Katy Perry that he’s still alive.
The actor, who was snapped paddleboarding naked six years ago, has signed a deal with streaming service Discovery+ to make a show where he attempts death-defying challenges with other thrillseekers.
Katy let slip the news while talking on the Smartless podcast about family life with their two-year-old daughter, Daisy.
The Dark Horse singer said: “Her dad is the best but, actually I was a little tardy for this call because he had just called me to let me know he was alive. He’s in the Bahamas right now filming a show where he goes kind of to the edge of everything extreme.
“He’s doing an episode on free diving so he just free dived over 100 feet. He was just calling to check in and tell me he’s still around, which I’m grateful for, because it’s been a few days that he’s been learning to do all these extreme sports.”
Katy added that the whole thing has been “a little nerve-racking” – which is understandable. I just hope he wore trunks this time.
