Robbie Williams Gets Naked As X Factor Judge

Robbie Williams surprised this year's X Factor contestants when he stripped naked on the show.

The Take That singer, who is a mentor for the boys category with judge Gary Barlow, stripped down to nothing apart from covering himself with a palm leaf, reports The Sun.

A source told The Sun: "It was hilarious. Gary, the contestants and crew were stunned. Robbie just stood there stark naked apart from these tiny leaves."

An X Factor spokeswoman added: "Robbie clearly had nothing to hide from the hopefuls."

Earlier this week, it was reported that the London singer Jessie had agreed to work with N-Dubz star and X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos's contestants on the show.

The new series of the X Factor includes Gary Barlow and Kelly Rowland, Tulisa Contostavlos as well as long-standing judge Louis Walsh.

Meanwhile, Robbie Williams has said his new solo album is his most consistent to date.
