Robbie Williams has revealed his two stone weight loss is thanks to “something like Ozempic”.
The former Take That singer, 49, admitted his weight has shrunk from 13lb to 13lb [88.5kg] to 12. 1 lb [76.7kg] while using the appetite suppressant.
Robbie – who is 6ft 2in – also joked that he needed the medication because he was diagnosed with “Type 2 self-loathing”.
Robbie went beyond humor and explained that being overweight was “horrifyingly disastrous” for his mental health.
The pop star, who was once called “Blobby Williams,” described how mean his inner voice can be when he’s not slim.

Robbie told The Times: “Babe, I’m on Ozempic… Well, something like Ozempic.” It’s like a Christmas miracle. I went from 13st 13lb to 12st 1lb.
“And I need it, medically. I was diagnosed with self-hatred type 2.
“Being taller is shockingly disastrous for my mental health.” My inner voice speaks to me the way Katie Hopkins speaks about fat people. It’s insane.’
Robbie Williams reflected on his mental health struggles in the latest trailer for his upcoming Netflix docuseries.
A drop ahead of the release of the four-part show on November 8th, which combines never-before-seen footage of Robbie with new interviews.
In keeping with the 25th anniversary of his solo career, the series offers an intimate look into his never-before-seen personal archive spanning 30 years.
In the new trailer, he began by reflecting on his journey and career, before opening up about how things became increasingly difficult and led to a “nervous breakdown in front of thousands of people.”
Robbie, who shares Teddy, 10, Charlie, eight, Coco, four, and Beau, three, with his wife Ayda, mused: “It’s amazing what’s happened in my life.” But the past has me in a headlock .
“Something has to give.” “You should only do that at the Pearly Gates while St. Peter looks back on your life.”
He added that he was thrust into the spotlight at a young age: “When I joined Take That I was 16, it was crazy. “I was the center of the pop culture world.
“I felt like I was revealing more and more of myself to the point where you no longer recognize yourself.”
“When you’re in the spotlight, you can’t trust anyone.” I had a nervous breakdown in front of thousands of people.
“The thing that would destroy me also made me successful.” Touch the fire, press when it says “pull,” and see if I can survive. “I don’t know how easy it is for people to get to know me.”
Robbie has been very open about his ongoing battle with mental illness and his history with depression and anxiety. And just as his fame reached its highest point ever, the pop star hit his lowest point.
From 2006 to 2009, Williams struggled with agoraphobia. Social anxiety disorder left him housebound for three years.
He has previously revealed that he entered rehab in 2007 after taking speed, acid, heroin, cocaine and “heartbreaking” amounts of prescription drugs.
