ROBBIE Williams has revealed wife Ayda is expecting a baby girl.

The singer said he is “very excited” about the arrival but admitted that his wife asked to keep the sex of their unborn baby a secret.

Speaking at a recent Soccer Six event alongside Jonathan Wilkes he said:

“It’s a girl. I’m very, very excited about becoming a daddy. I can’t wait. The missus is, like, ‘Don’t go telling’ and I said ‘I won’t’.”

He added:

“I’m going to teach her football and karate and boxing.That’s the first thing she’s going to learn to keep people like me and Johnny away.”

Robbie is set to part-take in a celebrity soccer match at the weekend to raise money for Unicef – from this Robbie admits he was surprised to discover that fatherhood has made him more passionate about the children’s charity…

He added

”Becoming a dad myself has changed my perception of Unicef. ‘I didn’t realise it would, but it did. I have found it quite over-whelming. We watched a video this morning about what Unicef does and I felt myself tearing up, in a way I maybe wouldn’t have done in the past. It’s definitely pulling on the heart-strings even more now that I know I’ve got the responsibility of looking after a little life.”
