Robbie Williams: I was trapped behind X Factor door

The singer blogs about ITV performance

Wednesday, 14 October 2009

Robbie Williams' comeback performance on The X Factor was nearly ruined by a faulty door.

The singer, 35, had to push the entrance open himself before stepping out to sing Bodies on the results show on Sunday.

‘I wasn't as nervous as I thought I was going to be,' Robbie writes on his blog. ‘Until the frigging door wouldn't open.

'I don't know if you saw but I had to wedge it open myself... 

‘I had a whole pose planned and what not. But that went out the window.'

But Robbie managed to recover after fearing he'd forget the words.

‘Then the mouth opened and by the grace of the big man himself the right words fell out...Oh praise be! I'm in!', he adds.

Robbie's
new single Bodies is out now.
