ITVRobbie Williams just sang at the opening ceremony of the 2018 Russia World Cup.
For whatever reason, one of our (best?) exports decided to take centre stage prior to the opening Russia vs. Saudi Arabia fixture and give us his best.
Crooning through ‘Let Me Entertain You’, ‘Feel’ and ‘Angels’, the former Take That singer described performing at the tournament as a ‘boyhood dream’ promising it would be ‘an unforgettable show.’
And that it was. But perhaps maybe not for all the right reasons. See ol’ Robbo decided it’d be cool to flip the bird right down the camera lense at one point.
Social media… well, it wasn’t best pleased:
