Robbie Williams wants 'gay' child

Robbie Williams has revealed that he is keen to have kids with his Turkish-American wife Ayda Fields.

The singer, 36, who recently appeared with ex-Take That bandmate Gary Barlow performing their song Shame, would be happy with a boy or a girl but joked during a radio interview that he hoped it would be gay.

"I want a gay one. We've talked about it and that's what we want. Whatever it is I genuinely don't care. I always thought I wanted a boy ever since I was little but now I'm like, 'Oh yeah girls, they're daddy's girls aren't they?'

"If it's a guy I'm going to teach him to play footie and all of that stuff and if it's a girl I'm going to protect her to my death," the Daily Express quoted him as telling 2Day FM's Kyle And Jackie O Show in Sydney, Australia.
