Just months after opening up about his “f**king disaster” body image battles, Robbie Williams has revealed he’s dropped 12kgs.

Robbie Williams has lost more than 12kgs.

Robbie Williams has opened up about his more than 12kg weight loss, saying being “bigger” is “shockingly catastrophic” to his mental health.

The former Take Take singer, 49, told The Times that he’d dropped the extra kilos through “something like Ozempic”, the diabetes drug which is becoming a popular weight loss method for celebrities.

“It’s like a Christmas miracle … and I need it, medically. I’ve been diagnosed with type 2 self-loathing,” the father-of-four joked.

“It’s shockingly catastrophic to my mental health to be bigger. My inner voice talks to me like Katie Hopkins talks about fat people. It’s maddening.”

In July, Williams spoke candidly about his battle with body dysmorphia in a social media post, describing it as a “f**king disaster”.

He shared a lengthy Instagram message to his 2.7 million followers about his weight struggles after fans reacted to his recently slimmed-down frame.

The candid caption was attached to a cartoon image of two characters, where one tells the other that “it’s gone too far” to which the other replies, “Aw, bless you.”

Above it are the words: “My ideal goal weight is people being worried about me.”

The British singer then opened up in the caption about his “pure self-hatred”.

“So, if a genie appeared and said, ‘You can either have your super power be the ability to fly or eat what you want and remain at your goal weight?’ I would go for goal weight eating every day. What about you?” Williams asked his followers.

“I could write a book about self-loathing where my body image is concerned. Like pure self-hatred, the ugliness of feeling ugly.

“I’m body dysmorphic and on top of being dysmorphic, at times I can be 40+ pounds (18kgs) overweight. So you can imagine what my mine sees. Or maybe you can’t, either way it’s a **king disaster.”

Williams pointed to his recent weight loss, admitting that his current size isn’t making him happy, either.

“At the moment I’m skinny. But me being me, my mind is going, ‘f**king great Rob, you managed to get skinny and now your (sic) old, congrats, golf clap’.

“The struggle is real. The sadness shocking. I’ve had it all my life. And it won’t abate.”

Williams then asked: “What is it that is hardwired in us, that is so calloused, that makes self-acceptance and self-love so difficult that it seems impossible?”

He finished up by insisting he wasn’t “fishing for compliments” but sharing his story “for some sort of release.”

“And if someone else recognises themselves in the words I’ve written, maybe it helps both of us,” Williams wrote.
