Robbie Williams taking baby on tour

Robbie Williams is looking forward to taking his baby daughter on tour with him.

The singer and his wife Ayda Field welcomed daughter Theodora into the world last week. Robbie is preparing for the release of his new album Take the Crown on November 5, and is thinking ahead as far as his family are concerned.

"It'll be easy to tour with the baby. We travel privately. There'll be mummy, nanny, baby and me," he smiled in an interview with British newspaper The Sun.

Robbie is due to play to huge audiences next year as part of his tour, but insists his daughter - also known as Teddy - will travel in luxury.

The star has a souvenir from his last time on the road, admitting he took home Om, the giant robot from the Take That Progress tour.

"Om's in England, in the garden, but Mark [Owen - bandmate] wanted it. I think Mark wanted to give it to the city of Manchester but I thought, 'It's not going to Manchester, it'll go to Stoke'. I had to beg Mark to let me have Om. It's great having him there," he said.
