Robbie Williams reveals he had a panic attack in a supermarket – because his private chef normally shops for him
Robbie Williams has revealed he had a panic attack when he recently had to go shopping alone.
The Netflix superstar had to head to a supermarket abroad to gather food for himself, but when he went shopping he found he was nearly unable to.
But on reflection Robbie, 49, admitted that his life may have become too extravagant.
The former X Factor judge has mansions in London, LA and Switzerland to look after – and he admitted he needs to start scaling his lifestyle down.
He also admitted that the reason why he found himself in such a predicament was because his food has always been prepared by a chef.
Robbie explained: “I’m not proud to say this, but I went to the supermarket by myself in Switzerland the other day – I’m not very often by myself, but I was in Switzerland, I was by myself, and I had to go down to the supermarket to buy things.
“And I got in there, had a panic attack, and came out with two boxes of All Bran and a pack of salt and vinegar crisps.
“It wasn’t a full on panic attack, I just went in and I don’t know ‘what do you do?’.
“I’m very rarely on my own and I’ve had a chef always.
“It’s absolutely incredible but also at the same time it goes along with the big life that I have made for myself that constantly needs serving.
“My dreams became much bigger than they’ve ever been.”
The dad-of-four is currently married to former Loose Woman star Ayda Field.
But the Angels hitmaker admitted that having taken on so much with his wealth, his lifestyle has now almost become a burden.
He added: “I’m much like a lot of people, I work for this year’s money – if it stopped there is three houses that need servicing that will not be serviced if I don’t go to work.
“I could pare everything down, but I’ve created a massive life that needs attending to financially.
“There will be a very lovely handyman that takes care of the dogs and then there’ll be security there (in LA) that will be monitoring the grounds.
“It’s too big, it’s too expensive. We have created a life and a lifestyle that is too big for us and I think this can happen when people in my line of work go ‘I fancy doing that, I fancy doing that’.
“Then I think eventually you go ‘this is too much’ and you just streamline, and I think we’re in the process of realising that everything’s a bit out of control.”
Robbie previously splashed out £24million on a magnificent luxury villa in Switzerland.
The family of six moved to a beautiful village on the shores of Lake Geneva as the star told friends they “love the pace of life” in the idyllic Alpine beauty spot.
The two older children previously enrolled in a private Geneva school and he also became a member at exclusive Golf Club De Genève.
Robbie first fled to Switzerland in 2020 to cut his risk of exposure to covid – only to catch the bug on holiday on the Caribbean isle of St Barts a year later.
