Robbie Williams left fans gobsmacked as he looked slimmer than ever in his latest picture.

The 49-year-old British musician, who has been very open about his “struggle” with weight and body image, posed topless for his impressed wife Ayda over the weekend, as reported by The Sun.

Sharing a video of Williams looking amazing on Instagram, she wrote: “He’s got Robbie Williams’ eyes #zaddy #stillgotit #nofilterneeded #crush AWxx @robbiewilliams.”

The couple are currently enjoying an Easter break in Argentina with their children Teddy, Charlie, Coco and Beau.

Williams revealed he lost weight last year ahead of releasing his latest music – but he admitted it has been a difficult road.

He told The Sun: “I have lost weight but it is a constant fight. Inside me there’s a giant person.

“My whole being and my whole body wants me to go in the opposite direction and be morbidly obese.

“At the moment I am just eating less. It is a constant slog and it is not a natural way of being.

“For me, what is normal is being twice this size.

“Thank God for vanity, and thank God for my job, because if I didn’t do what I do for a living I dread to think what I would look like and what I would become.”

Williams’ battle with his weight and his addictive nature are well documented, and the 185cm singer has been open and honest about being hooked on sugar, as well as drink and drugs.

He has now been sober for more than two decades, but has said that the addictive side of his personality still exists.

And the star believes his weight will be an issue he will struggle to control for the rest of his life.

He said: “For me, it is overweight and full of shame, and then you do something extreme to get to the weight you’re happy with.

“But then you’re not getting calories in your body to sustain what it has to do and then you get fatigued.

“I have an addictive nature that finds a loophole in sugar. I have never been able to maintain a perfect adherence to an abstinence from sugar and refined flour and all that stuff.

“There is no balance — moderation doesn’t exist.

“I do not have the ability to make that happen. It is either fat or thin.”
