This is the moment Robbie Williams made a 94-year-old fan’s wish come true.
Norma, a resident of Humberston Care Home in North East Lincolnshire, told staff she had followed the singer from when he was in Take That and had always wanted to see him.
The home organised for her to see a Robbie Williams tribute act and then went one step further by organising for her to speak to the singer, who admitted he was urged to call her by his daughter, who had seen Norma’s story online.
Norma said: “I was absolutely amazed. I really was surprised.
“Nothing like this has happened to me before.
“He was in America, laid out on the bed. I nearly said to him you could have got done up for me!”
The moment was organised by Bailey Greetham, who holds fitness and wellbeing sessions with residents, and films videos on behalf of the home.
He added: “She said I was off to a Robbie Williams tribute but I am a little bit upset because it’s not the real Robbie.
“I had the camera with me so I said let’s film something and we put it on the internet and it got a million views and Robbie was tagged 5,000 times.”
MAISIE Williams stripped down to nothing in a new post this week as she shared snaps of her bare body while skinny dipping with pals.

Joined by a group of friends, the trio all posed naked for pictures in the stunning blue sea before jumping off a nearby cliff into the water.
A far cry from Winterfell, and the crisp UK weather, Maisie shared a slew of pictures of the beautiful Italian surroundings.
She captioned the post: “Summer is so over but life is still happening in a big way x”
In the comment section, fans were quick to leave plenty of Game Of Thrones references.
The author shared a post earlier this year which detailed how he met up with Maisie over the summer.
He said: “We also got together with Maisie Williams for pizza and pasta, and talked about… well, no, better not get into that, do not want to jinx it. But it could be so much fun.”
Maisie is yet to speak out on any potential collabs with her former colleagues.
The six-parter is based on guitarist Steve Jones’ 2018 memoir, Lonely Boy: Tales from a Sex Pistol.

Robbie, who is sporting a salt and pepper stylish spiked hair do at the moment, said: “I’m losing my hair… This is all powder and scaffolding now.
“I’m thinking about getting one of them hair systems.”
He continued on the Games Gone: The Steve Bracknall Podcast: “So I’m a pop star. That’s what I do for a living, you know…you’re supposed to have some sort of looks and some sort of hair.
“I’ve got powder in. That’s why it looks alright now. But it’s on its way out. And I’m thinking about getting one of them hair systems.
He said: “I was quite an early adopter of the jabs but what I’m also noticing is that my eyesight’s not very good.
“It’s been blurry for a while now, and it’s only getting worse. I don’t believe it’s age; I believe it’s the jabs.
“Everybody’s experiencing it, because I’ll say to people, ‘Blurry, right?’. And they go, ‘Oh s**t, that the thing?’.
“Of course it’s worrying and by being honest today, obviously I want to warn people reading this of the potential risks, to make sure they do their research.
“But seriously, I’m that sick I’d probably stay on it until the sight in one eye has completely gone.”
Last year a US study found patients using some fat jabs for Type 2 diabetes were four times more likely to be diagnosed with non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) — a lack of blood flow to the optic nerve which may lead to sight loss.
Of those, 164 specifically claimed the drug had damaged their vision. But scientists have not agreed that the medicines actually cause the condition — or by how much they increase the risk.
