Robbie Williams gave his fans a sneak peek into his family trip after his World Cup debacle which led to him having to apologise to fans.10:52, 25 Jul 2026Updated 10:54, 25 Jul 2026Robbie Williams appears to have put his World Cup drama far behind him as he took time out of his busy schedule to enjoy a family holiday with his wife Ayda Field and four children.‌The Angels singer, 52, who shot to fame as part of Take That in the early 90s, was forced to apologise after it seemed that a mysterious white substance fell from his mouth on to his microphone during his World Cup pundit interview.‌According to reports, he quickly removed it from the microphone and stuck it on his forehead - before clarifying that it was a Nicorette mint.‌Placing his embarrassing moment behind him, Robbie joined his family for a day at the beach and posted a series of snaps of their family outing. In one picture he was seen with his arm draped lovingly around Ayda - who he shares children Teddy, Charlie, Coco and Beau with.In another picture, his eldest daughter Teddy was snapped with her head snuggled into the family's Gold Retriever dog while sat out on the porch.‌This comes after the star posted what has been described as a fake apology over #mintgate which went viral - before he issued a more lengthy and heartfelt apology, in which he declared: "I think I reached peak me at the World Cup. To have a Nicorette fall out of my mouth during a live interview...and then stick to my forehead...is the most me thing I've ever done."I had absolutely no idea it was there until the following day. The fake apology has now had over 27 million views. The whole MintGate thing has reached 51million people."I've managed not to read too many comments, which is probably why I'm finding the whole thing genuinely funny."‌"I would just like to apologise for the object that fell onto the microphone yesterday," he added in a follow-up video. "It was deeply unprofessional and people worried about me. But it's okay because I had several more."‌In the clip, Robbie is then seen opening his mouth to reveal several more mints in his mouth.During his half-time performance, the former Take That star wore a sequin blue Adidas tracksuit - which a fan compared to Paulie Gualtieri from The Soprano, which kept viewers hooked between 1999 and 2007.Poking fun at the comparison, Robbie said: "The Paulie Walnuts memes have been magnificent. It wouldn't feel right if I appeared on the world stage and absolutely nothing weird happened. One and a half billion people were watching.‌"For someone whose nervous system is permanently convinced we're moments away from disaster, I'm quite proud that none of it was visible on my face. Well... apart from the Nicorette. The old me did briefly surface today though."These amateurs think I wouldn't have crushed that powder until it was as fine as Bahamian sand?' Please. I'm not new."And now the internet has another thing it'll be 100% certain happened. 'Remember when Robbie was off his nut at the World Cup?' I wasn't. I'm not. And I haven't been for a very long time. But that's showbusiness. And so it goes.‌"The funniest part? Straight after singing with Laura and Nicole, I kept saying to everyone, 'No one died and I didn't cause an international incident. We did it!"Cue someone saying, 'Will you come and do this little interview? It won't take long.' Me being me is very on brand. There'll be plenty more. I am inevitable. Anyway... I'm off to continue ageing in public. See you at the next misunderstanding. Namaste, Robert."Meanwhile, Robbie is rumoured to be headlining next year's Glastonbury after announcing his UK and Ireland tour dates.Article continues belowLike this story?
