Star says if he drank, he'd 'literally be f**ked'
Robbie Williams has spoken openly about his drink and sex issues, revealing that he is glad to now be sober, saying he believes he would cheat on wife Ayda Field if he was still drinking.
Robbie didn't hold back in a new interview with The Metro, speaking out about how hard he finds it not to cheat on his wife. The ex-Take That star said that staying sober definitely helps, adding that he feels as though he should be given some sort of reward for staying faithful.
He admitted, "It's a hundred times easier when you don't drink, and I don't drink.
"If I drank, we'd literally be f**ked. If I drank, I could not keep it in my trousers at all."
Robbie went on to explain. "You know like on anniversaries women expect you to get them flowers and things? I think every f**king night you haven't stuck your c**k in someone else, you should be given a gold ring.
"I haven't missed playing around, but I'm still a guy. This will be an on-going project. Feels unnatural, you know, but so far so good."
We're sure that his wife, Ayda Field, will be pleased to hear that.
Robbie Williams: hasn't cheated on his wife. Yet.
Robbie also struck out at The X Factor - which could be awkward, seeing as ex-bandmate Gary Barlow is a judge and mentor on the show, not to mention that Robbie himself appeared with Gary on the judges' house round.
However, Robbie isn't a fan of the singing reality TV show, saying: "Somebody will come on and do an audition and sing their arse off, but they can't project and they're boring and they'll go nowhere.
"I don't think it's important to be that good at singing. I think people who are good at singing sing backing vocals for pop stars. It's about how you project. I wouldn't consider myself to be a singer."
He finished with a swipe at current boyband, One Direction, comparing their interaction to his own troubled relationship with Gary Barlow during their Take That days.
Despite One Direction claiming that they're all best friends, Robbie insisted: "I'm sure that in One Direction right now, there's going to be hatred between certain members for certain things, all young and daft stuff."

And below, look at some rock relationships that haven't been so lucky...
Love doesn't exist, this was well proven last month when veteran art-rock couple Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon announced their split after being married since 1984. And if their band Sonic Youth are forced to break up under the strain of divorce proceedings between the frontman and frontwoman then Good Music will cease to exist too. RIP Love. RIP Good Music.
Arctic Monkeys singer Alex Turner and the similarly-named TV presenter and model Alexa Chung broke it off earlier this year. The message boards full of heated debate of which of them pulls off 'festival-chic' better must have finally got to them.
Death Cab singer Ben Gibbard and actress-come-She & Him vocalist Zooey Deschanel have announced their separation. Rumours that it was due to Ben's anniversary present of growing the curtains of his hair an extra three inches for every year of their marriage has been proven false.
Laura Marling and Marcus Mumford ended their relationship around Christmas 2010, causing massive inconvenience for whoever arranged the table layout at that year's BRIT Awards.
Avril Lavigne split up with pop-rocker Deryck Whibley in 2009. I guess she's now going to have to find some(forty)one else.
A golden oldie: the romance between Bob Dylan and Joan Baez would only be rivalled in coolness today if Karen O married Julian from The Strokes. Let's hope that never happens, or the whole blog world would implode.
A weird-dressing, funny man who has somehow been able to blag a career: I wonder who Katy Perry was always destined to go for after dumping Gym Class Heroes frontman Travis McCoy Oh, that's right - Russell Brand.
When Blur singer Damon Albarn and Elastica frontwoman Justine Frischmann got together in 1995, it seems likely that they must have spent their pre-tour nights playing Britpop Top Trumps to determine who each can have as support acts. "You can have Suede, if I can get Pulp". The couple split in 1998.
Britney and Justin made MTV executives' wildest fantasies a reality when they pursued their childhood romance in the public eye during the early 00s. After splitting, Justin has gone on to have a success pop career, starred in high profile films and has dated Cameron Dias. Britney, on the other hand, shaved her head and went a bit mental. They should've got a pre-nup!
East Coast rapper Nas split with 'Milkshake' singer Kelis in 2009. We are told that it wasn't because he was jealous at the plural in her lyric "my milkshake brings all the boyS to the yard".
Newlyweds reality TV stars Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey split in 2005. I think it's safe to say that the world just hasn't been the same for us since.
