Robbie Williams was in the grips of a drink and drugs relapse when he first took Ayda Field on a date - and ended up being sick and clucking like a chicken
Ayda reveals drugs and vomit-filled first date with Robbie Williams - ‘He’s throwing up, he’s clucking’
Robbie might have been spiralling towards rock bottom, but actress Ayda was “in a great place” and cheerfully invited Robbie to a party with her. He told her he’d rather “stick knives in my eyes” and instead asked her to come to his house after the bash.Ayda arrived to find the house in darkness and Robbie confesses, “I’d just seen off my dealer who I was sleeping with at the time.” Understandably, Ayda was unimpressed. She recalls, “The house was completely f***ing dark, no candles, no light.
“I did have a sense of what I was doing to myself and I didn’t care,” he says, looking back at old footage of himself and commenting on his vacant expression. “There is a sense of, ‘It would be best if I passed away.’ I didn’t care and it would be alright. For me to change I’ve got to be dying.”Robbie’s management staged an intervention, but it meant the end of his relationship with Ayda, who had started to think of Robbie as her “soulmate”. She was heartbroken.
Looking back at old photos of his trips with Ayda to exotic countries including Morocco and Egypt, Robbie is overwhelmed with memories of falling in love with her. “What a package, man – silly, doesn’t take herself seriously, smart, beautiful, she makes me feel great,” he says as he looks at a photograph of Ayda. “There was a cementing of a relationship between me and my future wife. But if you’d have asked me what I was doing during that, I wouldn’t have known that.
Unsurprisingly, the relationship wasn’t to last thanks to the intense pressure of their twin fame, but Robbie has no regrets. Afterwards, he wrote his hitas a tribute to Geri. The lyrics run: “You were there for summer dreaming/And you gave me what I need/And I hope you find your freedom/For eternity.”
