Robbie injects male hormones

With the tour that everyone has been waiting for has begun and now the Take That boys, well apart from Gary who is otherwise engaged with The X Factor, are giving interviews right, left and centre. And say what you will about Robbie Williams rejoining the group, there's one thing he's always been good for - super revealing interviews.

So revealing in fact that we now know he injects himself twice a week with the male hormone testosterone.

Robbie explains, "To cut a long story short I went to get some HGH [Human Growth Hormone]. It’s what all the old fellas are on out there in LA that’s making them look 40 instead of 60. It’s improving their health, their memory, their skin. Could give you cancer. I’ve weighed that up. Thought I’d have it anyway. Had my blood tests. Went back. He said, 'You don’t need HGH. You’ve got the testosterone of a 100-year-old man.' And then everything made sense. It was kind of an epiphany that day.”

So ever since then he's been taking the hormone and says, “It has changed my life. I feel like I am getting a second wind.”

OK then, fair enough.
