Robbie Williams Invites Fan on Stage in Wolverhampton
A devoted Robbie Williams fan, Jemma Williamson, whose brief appearance in the Take That Netflix documentary gained viral attention, joined the singer on stage during his concert in Wolverhampton.
When she was 14 years old, Williamson travelled from Wirral to Chester to attend a band signing event. However, she was unable to enter the venue and meet the star as she had hoped.
Undeterred by this setback, she remained outside the venue and was filmed urging Robbie Williams to call her, sharing her phone number on camera. This footage was later featured in the three-part documentary over 30 years ago.
As part of his performance at The Halls in Wolverhampton on Monday night, Williams invited Williamson onto the stage to recreate that memorable moment.
Addressing the audience, Williams said:
"Please welcome, Jemma from the Take That documentary."
Standing before hundreds of fans, Williamson repeated her original phrase from the documentary, exclaiming:
"Robbie's my favourite because he's got gorgeous eyes and a gorgeous body and he can call me any time."
The singer then playfully asked if she had received many calls since then. Williamson responded that the phone number was no longer in service.
The crowd cheered enthusiastically as Williams gave Williamson a hug before she returned to her seat.
The original documentary clip went viral, amassing over 107,000 likes on Instagram after Williams attempted to call the number following the programme's release.
Now a nursery teacher based in Wolverhampton, Williamson expressed her gratitude for the positive reaction to her appearance and the singer's video message.
"I think it's brought back a bit of nostalgia for everybody."
Williams Reflects on Career and New Album
The Stoke-on-Trent native has been touring the UK with his Long 90's tour, opting to perform in smaller venues reminiscent of those he played early in his solo career.
After more than 30 years in the music industry, the 51-year-old Williams recently released his album Britpop, which became his 16th number one album, surpassing the previous record held by The Beatles.
Williams described the album as the one he aspired to create when he first left Take That.
