00:00 My first ever single was Freedom and my first ever gig was Nebworth.
00:03 Oh wow! You win, man.
00:05 Yeah.
00:06 That's a win.
00:07 I wanted to ask you, when you watch this back, was there any moments that you wish you'd been a part of earlier?
00:12 Oh my god, so many moments I wish. First of all, I wish he hadn't dated all those other women.
00:16 No, I think actually more than the... I mean, I wish I'd gone to Nebworth, so you really do win out on that one.
00:24 That one, it's sad that I didn't get to go to.
00:27 But more for me, there were moments where I saw him struggling in the documentary, where I wish I could have come in sooner to stop that.
00:35 And that's not to say I could have stopped that, but I became quite protective watching it, wanting him to not hurt like that.
00:42 It was painful for me to watch him in pain and I cried too.
00:46 So I think more than watching gigs that I missed, although there were some gigs that I was like, "Oh, I wish I'd gone to see that tour."
00:53 More than the gigs was me wishing I could have been there to hold his hand through some difficult times.
00:59 You just want to give him a hug, don't you?
01:01 Yeah, and I was saying it was weird because I wanted to give him a hug as his wife, and as he was younger, it started as he's younger,
01:09 I kind of wanted to give him a hug as a mom too, because I'm a mom to two boys, and when he was itty-bitty like that,
01:15 I'm thinking, "That's only five years older than my teddy," and that's young.
01:20 So yeah, there were different stages where I was a mother, a wife, a friend, a fan.
01:26 Yeah, there were different layers to all of it, but yeah.
01:28 Difficult for Rob to watch it back, but also really difficult for you because I think we all get really jealous as well.
01:33 How did you cope seeing those relationships?
01:35 I was super uncomfortable. I'm not a jealous person.
01:39 Obviously, I mean honestly, any time we turn on the TV, Rob has most likely f***ed someone on the TV.
01:45 It does not make me uncomfortable, but it's different when you're actually talking about an ex or dating someone,
01:51 and then you have to watch it. It's so weird. It actually took me by surprise how odd that was made,
01:58 and I also didn't know what I was going to be watching. I didn't want to know anything about it,
02:01 so I didn't have any warning that I was going to see this or that.
02:04 So there was definitely like, I just kept going like, "Ugh."
02:08 I'm just thinking, "Ugh, it's okay," and then there would be another scene, and I'd be like, "Ugh."
02:13 So it was fine, and Rob was like, "I'm so sorry, babe, because I would not want to watch you with any of your exes."
02:20 I'm like, "Don't worry. I don't think there's any footage."
02:23 But yeah, no, I had normal female response. There weren't like plates throwing. I wasn't mad or anything,
02:27 but I was surprised by my own emotional response to it. I was like, "Oh, I don't like that."
02:32 I guess that comes with the territory of marrying Robbie Williams, right?
02:34 Yeah, I didn't realise it until the documentary. I was like, "Oh."
02:37 You mentioned your lovely Teddy. What happens next? Is she going to do singing?
02:41 Are we going to see her dancing? Because she's got something, hasn't she?
02:43 She really likes it. She really, really loves to sing and dance.
02:47 I'm like, "Come on. Come on, hedge fund manager. Come on, architect."
02:54 She just literally is like composing. I mean, that moment on the piano was so organic.
02:59 She literally just started composing that song, and Daddy came in, and that's a very typical thing that happens,
03:05 is Teddy does her homework singing. She runs around the house singing and dancing,
03:11 and I'm feeling like that's going to be something that happens.
03:14 But, you know, I'm still hedge fund manager. Come on. Let's not give up on the dream.
03:18 And what do you want people to take from this, being so a part of it?
03:22 How do you want people to feel? Do you want to help people that perhaps were going through what Rob went through?
03:27 Listen, any time a piece of work can help someone in real life is something they're struggling with,
03:33 especially mental health, which Rob has been very open about struggling with.
03:37 That's a huge extra feather in the cap. That's ultimately--you want to move people.
03:45 You want to inspire people. You want people to connect to Rob.
03:48 If you can help people, then that's ultimately the best thing.
03:52 If someone were to feel talked to, touched, connected, someone reaches out to a friend
03:58 because they see something in Rob and they realize they need help.
04:02 Any time someone who's struggling feels like they have a helping hand is a good thing.
04:08 So if this helps people who are struggling and gives them some reassurance that there's hope out there
04:13 and there's a network to save you and there are people you can count on, then that would be awesome.
04:20 And Robby Fan, thank you for making him so happy. You can see how happy he is.
04:23 He makes me happy too.
04:25 Tell me, you too.
04:26 Yeah, it's a double whammy.
04:27 Except for when he leaves his underwear on the floor.
04:29 I'm slightly less happy with that. But I don't know why that is.
04:32 It's the toilet seat and the underwear. I don't know.
04:34 It's just the hamper. The hamper's right there.
04:36 Yeah.
