British pop star Robbie Williams last night mooned Danish audiences during an interview in Tivoli with Michéle Bellaiche on TV2 – and it later transpired he had bared his backside to win a bet.
Williams was being interviewed with his band Take That, who were in Copenhagen promoting their new album and forthcoming concerts at Parken. However, while Garry Barlow, Jason Orange and Mark Owen were present, the fifth member Howard Donald was stranded in the UK due to bad weather.
During the interview with Bellaiche, Robbie pointed out that he was the bad boy of the band and said: “I have always been very shy ... Here’s my arse ... Everyone is crazy about this piece of meat".
He then stood up, pulled down his trousers, and bared his backside to the TV host and hordes of fans outside the studio watching the interview through a window.
In an interview with BT tabloid, Robbie revealed: “I did it because she [Bellaiche] offered me 20 pounds [200 kroner]". Bellaiche later said she did not expect him to actually do it.
As well as the interview at Tivoli, Take That also performed a song.
Meanwhile, promoters Live Nation yesterday confirmed the band will give an extra performance on Friday July 15, after tickets to their concert in Parken on July 16 sold out in less than five hours. The Copenhagen Post
