Despite all the stress that comes with a newborn baby, Robbie Williams has been talking to the press about expanding his brood… to include X Factor’s Rylan Clark.
The Take That star, who welcomed his daughter Theodora earlier this month will appear on tonight’s X Factor as a guest mentor and revealed that he would like to see a lot more of Rylan.
However, this new found bromance Robbie has found with the singer is surely driving a wedge between himself and Gary Barlow who has openly admitted his dislike for Rylan.

Speaking to The Mail Online, Robbie said: “I’m a big, big fan and I want you in my family’s life. In some way, shape or form, I wanna see you on the TV an awful lot and bump into you backstage at places and say, ‘Hey, how are you doing?”
Addressing his band mate Gary, Robbie said: “Gaz, I don’t know what this young man has done to offend you so much and I don’t understand how you are missing out on the obvious brilliance and talent of Rylan.
“But I am not – I am strictly Team Rylan all the way,” he finished.

Robbie and Gary jetted to LA last year to film X Factor scenes
We’re looking forward to seeing Robbie on tonight’s show, but over all X Factor has really lost its ‘oomph’.
Nevertheless, we think Gary should lay off Rylan a little bit. A least he’s a bit of craic unlike his snoozefest contestant Christopher Maloney who is sure to be singing another rendition that will make us snore.
