Superstar Robbie Williams has been busy showing off his unfortunate new look – and his wife was quick to make matters worse. The former Take That singer says his front tooth chipped off while he was brushing his teeth, but it will take quite some time to get his mouth sorted.
With his dentist a five-hour flight away, he is going to have to sit tight, but Ayda Field has added insult to injury. Taking to Instagram to detail how it happened, Robbie wrote: “So I brushed my teeth last night. Walking back to bed, my tongue was doing something new… a new crevice, a new nook. To be honest, it felt cool.
“I hadn’t put two and tooth together until I smiled at Ayda and she took a sharp intake of breath. It was then I realised: ‘Ah. New cool feeling is half a tooth missing.’ Ayda laughed. I laughed. Then she said I look like Dumb and Dumber. Fair enough. I guess I do.”

He went on to say it could be a while until he is back to his normal self, telling fans: “Here’s the thing: I’m in Miami. The superstar that gave me these new gnashers is in LA And I’ve got some shows coming up. Does this mean I have to fly five hours to fix it? Or… is this my new look now?
“If I can’t get it done in time, should I just black it out like ’95 Glasto? What you saying ? Is this a repair or a rebrand ?” Making light of his new look, he signed off: “Namaste FFS, Lobby Wiwams x”
It’s far from his only health issue in the past few years. Robie says he got so undernourished that he was diagnosed with scurvy. The star had turned to an appetite-suppressant drug last year to lose weight, and shed nearly two stone. But he says: “I’d stopped eating and I wasn’t getting nutrients.” He was so vitamin C deficient he was even diagnosed with scurvy.

“A 17th-century pirate disease,” Robbie told the Mirror. Asked what Ayda said to him when he was getting too thin, he replied: “With body dysmorphia, when people say they’re worried about how you’re looking, you’re like: ‘I’ve achieved it.’ When people say: ‘we’re worried you’re too thin’ that goes into my head as ‘jackpot. I’ve reached the promised land.’”
He also talked to the Mirror about how he had been hit by depression for the first time in 10 years and says he realised that it could be linked to his diet, forcing him to overhaul it.
Robbie says that he found the return of his depression particularly hard to deal with when he thought he had his mental health under control. He was first diagnosed with depression in his twenties, and has undergone high-profile battles with addiction, anxiety and agoraphobia.
He said: “The year started with some ill mental health, which I haven’t had for a very, very long time. I was sad, I was anxious, I was depressed.”
He continued: “It’s been about ten years…I thought I was at the other end of the arc,” he says. “I thought this was the end of my story, and that I would just go walking into this marvelous wonderland. So for it to return was just confusing.” Thankfully, he said the dark cloud has now lifted.
