Robbie Williams put on quite the performance when he rang in the New Year in Sydney, but he was caught with his pants down prior to the gig.
The Better Man hitmaker put on quite the racy display with Aussie actor Hugh Sheridan as the pair had a ball in Robbie’s hotel room.
Taking to Instagram on Friday, Hugh offered Robbie, who turned 51 on 13 February, a ‘Happy birthday’ tribute.
The Packed To The Rafters star shared a series of images that showed him larking around with a very naked Robbie during the popstar’s Down Under jaunt.
One photo showed Robbie in all his glory, save for a very strategically placed vase, while Hugh, clad in a sparkling black shirt and dark sunglasses, stood next to the British star.
In a second photo, Hugh was unable to contain his laughter as Robbie held his hilarious pose.

In a third, Hugh was at the front of the frame as a still naked Robbie stood behind his pal sporting a very cheeky grin.
Captioning the playful images, Hugh paid tribute to his pal on his 51stt birthday.
‘HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAREST ROBBIE,’ he wrote.
‘You are truly one in a billion, thank you for ringing in my new year and ripping me a new one!’
The post was met with a flurry of comments from friends, fans and followers, with many flooding the feed with crying laughing emojis.
‘Haha classic,’ one fan offered, while another chimed in with: ‘Ok now I’m jealous.’
One chose to take a cheeky dig at Robbie in his most vulnerable state with: ‘Love handles and all.’

Robbie Williams' staggering earnings revealed as he gives incredible amount to charities
Robbie was the headline act for the city’s New Year celebrations which was broadcast on the ABC.
His eight song set was full of some of his biggest hits, such as Feel, Better Man and Rock DJ.
He also surprised the crowd with a rousing rendition of the John Farnham classic, You’re The Voice, before rounding out 2024 with his 2002 ballad Angels.
‘Aussie, Aussie, Aussie,’ Robbie chanted during the song’s bridge, with the audience responding with the obligatory, ‘Oi, Oi, Oi.’
However, Robbie’s bravura performance divided ABC viewers after the pop superstar took the opportunity to promote his new documentary Better Man, launching into a shameless plug mid-set.
It was before Robbie’s performance of his 2000 hit Better Man that he gave a rave review to his own movie of same name.
‘Some critics are calling it the movie of the century! Not my words, except they are because I just made that up,’ he said to the crowd.
Robbie then asked if anyone had seen the movie as yet and explained it had been filmed in .

He even changed some of the lyrics to Better Man and sang, ‘so go watch my movie, it’s full of drugs and sex, I’ve got my own biopic, I’m not even dead’.
The move divided viewers, with many annoyed that the ABC – a government owned, tax payer funded television station – was spending a pretty penny on Robbie’s performance.
‘Did my tax dollars pay for this lazy Robbie Williams set? What the f**k. PR for a movie during a set as well?!’ wrote one person on X.
‘Robbie Williams is busy posing & promoting himself, how about singing a song,’ added another alongside a thumbs down emoji.
‘Your tax dollars hard at work with this Robbie Williams performance,’ posted another.
However, the plug appeared to have worked, with the film taking out top honours a the recent AACTA awards.
The film won four awards on the night, including Best Direction in Film and Best Lead Actor in Film for Jono Davis.
