Robbie Williams has given fans a glimpse into his past love life with ex Nicole Appleton in his new Netflix documentary. The pop star shared a clip of the moment he proposed to the All Saints singer over the phone, admitting he wasn't ready for commitment at the time.
Reflecting on their whirlwind romance, Robbie said: "She was kind and fun and sweet, you know she's just a good soul. With my relationship with Nic, it was very important to me to learn to become the man I was supposed to be." But he confessed that being thrust into fame at a young age meant he missed out on growing up and maturing naturally.
A clip from the documentary shows Robbie proposing to Nicole over the phone while he was on tour, just months before they called time on their romance.
In a voiceover, Robbie admits: "I guess that I'm trying to convince myself that I'm the kind of person that is ready for that kind of commitment, I know I'm not. "I couldn't look after myself, I was in no fit state to offer myself as a partner and the relationship with Nic ended a few months after this."
