“Robbie then gave me a kiss on the cheek. You know I now can't wash my cheek as all women want a kiss on the same spot he kissed me,” he added. "Robbie really didn't realise I was not the real thing. I was chatting with his wife Ayda who also speaks Turkish.”
“She was really nice. Both Robbie's dad and Ayda took their phones and snapped pics of us together. I never thought such a world famous star would fall for my double act,” he said. “It is sensational. It all happened so quickly. I will never forget that day!"
The singer has also confirmed that in light of his wife’s pregnancy news, he won’t be joining the other members of Take That for their summer tour.
