Robbie Williams has addressed a 'deeply unprofessional' moment during the World Cup final, after a white object fell from his mouth during a live interview. The 52-year-old singer, who performed at the closing ceremony alongside Nicole Scherzinger and Laura Pausini, took to Instagram to explain the incident and apologise to fans.
What Happened During the Interview?
Williams was speaking to pundits on German TV channel Magenta Sport about the match between Argentina and Spain when a small white object fell from his mouth onto his microphone. He managed to remove it, but later touched his forehead after rubbing his head, causing the object to stick to his skin. The moment left viewers confused and sparked speculation online.
Robbie's Apology and Explanation
Addressing the matter, Williams shared a video on Instagram saying: 'I'd just like to apologise for the object that fell on to the microphone yesterday. I was deeply unprofessional, and people worried about me. But it's OK. Because I had several more.' He then stuck out his tongue to reveal two circular mints, laughing off the incident. He captioned the post: 'Just woke up and feeling…. Mint x.'
World Cup Performance and Fan Reactions
Williams performed at the closing ceremony in a bright blue sparkling tracksuit, which also drew attention from viewers. One fan said: 'I'm feeling the @robbiewilliams bedazzled track suit,' while another asked: 'Where does one get a sparkly tracksuit like Robbie Williams?' Some fans didn't recognise him, with one commenting: 'I didn't recognise Robbie Williams,' and another replying: 'I didn't either, he looks so good.'
On Instagram, Williams shared a behind-the-scenes look at his World Cup experience, where Spain won 1-0 against Argentina. He captioned the video: 'FIFA WORLD CUP FINAL…! I will remember this day forever. Hard to sum it up in an Insta video, but here’s just a piece of the magic I experienced today. And what an incredible anthem to capture it.'
