ROBBIE WILLIAMS is on his way to being made a Sir.
Bizarre can reveal he has officially been nominated for a knighthood — for his contribution to music and charity work.

It is now up to the honours committee who will send a shortlist of recommendations to the Prime Minister Keir Starmer and then King Charles to sign off.
Robbie is tied with The Beatles for the most UK No1 albums, with 15 chart-topping records, as well as seven No1 singles as a solo artist.
He is also responsible for creating Soccer Aid way back in 2006, which to date has raised £106million for Unicef, who he has been an ambassador for since 2000.
Robbie has been involved in 11 Comic Relief events and is a patron for Music Support — a charity helping people in the industry who are suffering from addiction or mental health issues.
Radio 2 breakfast show host Scott Mills has thrown his weight behind calls for Rob to get the honour.
Scott told Bizarre: “I think Robbie should be knighted, 100 per cent. For his contribution for music alone.
“Let’s not forget, he’s the most decorated Brits winner in history. I think we should celebrate and acknowledge how much joy he has brought.
“He deserves it. Not only for his contribution to music, but also for fighting his demons in the public eye and coming out the other side.
“He should be acknowledged for his honesty and bravery. He really is a role model.”
Scott recently DJ’d at Robbie’s Emirates Stadium gig and said: “He reminds me of the Knebworth Robbie.
“He is at the peak of his powers. He has his mojo back. He would admit that he lost it for a while but he’s like his old self, just clean and sober.
“It’s clear that it doesn’t scare him right now.”
He added: “I don’t know why. I just think he’s really comfortable in his skin. I really loved his film Better Man.
“I thought a lot of the reviews were really unfair. I got emotional and cried. I thought it was really clever and honest and I watched it three times.”
It has already been a bumper year for Robbie.
After kicking off his latest tour and with 13th album Britpop out in a few months, it’s only going to get busier.
I’d love to see him get the honour. In my eyes, it’s long overdue.

Mixing up her set from previous shows, the singer added the 1988 hit If We Hold On Together but left out her cover of I Will Survive.
Bizarre’s Jack Hardwick was at both her opening night in Birmingham last month and her O2 gig and is happy to report that Diana was on top form after previously being plagued with some tech issues.
Beaming as she danced, Diana told fans with a wink: “I want you to move your body like this – and I’m 47.”
She added: “You know I’m 81, right? And I’m feeling good.They say use it or lose it.”
HAILEY YELLOW FEVER
HAILEY BIEBER found the perfect way to show off her body, errr, I actually mean her new Rhode lip tint, by posing with it in her bikini.
In a shot which drew attention to far more than just her latest cosmetics product, she wore a black bikini in a photoshoot on a beach and tucked the yellow tube into her cleavage.

Apparently there’s been a lot of discussion online about her new Lemontini gloss, which is described as having a “sweet, citrusy lemon cocktail scent,” as lots of people suggested it should be inspired by the colour of butter instead.
She said on Instagram: “Stop asking me why it’s not ‘butter yellow.’ It’s not butter yellow because it’s LEMON. Not butter. And butter yellow is played out…respectfully.”
Who knew shades of yellow could provoke such a reaction?
YUNG: I IDENTIFY AS A PAN
YUNGBLUD joked that he sexually identifies as a “saucepan”, because he is pansexual.
He said: “I am the pan man — I’m the fing saucepan… Because it’s the [label] that allows me to be who I am. It’s the one with the most room for manoeuvre. “I do feel like I am less insecure about it.”

The singer, whose album Idols is currently No1, will be celebrated at the Peugeot Attitude Pride Awards Europe 2025 today.
It comes after he was questioned over his sexuality, having only recently ended a long-term relationship with a woman.
He said: “I don’t fit into a box. If it’s a fing vibe, I’ll fing kiss you no matter what you are. I don’t give a f.
“I’m a lover in terms of everything sexually. It’s been the hardest thing to have my authenticity questioned, because I’ve only ever been myself.”
SILVER CLEF AWARDS
SOPHIE ELLIS-BEXTOR, The Corrs and Rick Astley were among the winners at the O2 Silver Clef Awards on Wednesday.
The bash at the Grosvenor House Hotel in central London raised more than £715,000 for music therapy charity Nordoff and Robbins.

Before collecting the Outstanding Achievement in Music award, Rick hit out at acts including Kneecap and Bob Vylan after their violent on-stage political comments.
Rick said: “There’s a time and a place to say what you want to. But I think some things should not be said.”
That didn’t later stop Best Live Act winners Idles shouting out Palestine in their acceptance speech.
As Sophie,won Best Female, she said: “I’ve actually got a shelf in my house where I put all my Best Female awards and this will take pride of place, and I promise it’s not just because it’s the first one I’ve ever won.”
TONY CHRISTIE collected the Icon Award at the Nordoff and Robbins O2 Silver Clef Awards.
He said in an exclusive chat: “I’m 82 and singing as good as I ever was.”

Tony is on his farewell tour – but it might not be the end. He said: “The amazing thing is, since I announced I was going to do a farewell tour, the phone has never stopped ringing.
“It’s gone berserk. The tour anyway was going to be a good two years because it takes in Australia, New Zealand and all these places, but now it’s actually getting longer.”
LEWIS HAMILTON amits he must watch what he eats before race days.
Ahead of this weekend’s British Grand Prix, the F1 driver said at the launch of The House of Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% in Covent Garden: “I can only smell the pizza, as I’ve got to hit my target weight for the race.
“I love Indian food, it’s my go-to. But carbs are limited right now.”
