Robbie Williams Shares 2am Text From Daughter Teddy, 13, Fearing She’ll Be ‘Nothing’ if She Can’t Sing

He tells BBC Radio 2 he worries about her oversensitivity, fearing the toll of public scrutiny.

Overview

  • Speaking on BBC Radio 2’s The Scott Mills Breakfast Show, Williams said his daughter is "desperate" to perform and fixated on a future in music.
  • He read her late-night message: "Dad, what if I’m not a singer? It’s my biggest fear not to be a singer... What if I’m nothing?"
  • Williams reassured her with a joking "you’re a nepo" remark, saying he can steer her professionally but fears "words" and "mean people" given her sensitivity.
  • Teddy recently made her acting debut in the Christmas film Tinsel Town, playing Rebel Wilson’s on-screen daughter, and appeared at the London premiere with her parents.
  • Williams also described his father Pete Conway, who has Parkinson’s, attending his Newcastle show in a wheelchair, and the full interview airs January 12 from 8–9am on BBC Radio 2.
