Robbie Williams has five TV shows in the works.
The 46-year-old singer – who was paid £10 million for his role as a judge on ‘The X Factor’ – has revealed that he is currently working on a number of TV projects and he wants to follow in Simon Cowell’s footsteps by creating a TV empire.
Robbie told The Sunday Mirror newspaper: "There is a new avenue that I am moving into – TV. I am very, very excited about it.
"I hope we go back to normal soon because I have got so many TV ideas that I wanna do a myriad, a smorgasbord.
"There is literally so many. I have got five in the works right now. It is such an early stage I daren’t talk about it."
However, Robbie is frustrated that the Covid-19 pandemic has put his plans on hold.
He explained: "I miss having the option to do ¬something and feeling that I cannot do that is restrictive.
"I am looking forward to when we can just have free movement and get back to normal. I will be looking forward to that kind of weight lifting."
Meanwhile, Robbie – who has children Teddy, seven, Charlie, five, Coco, 21 months, and Beau, four months, with wife Ayda Field – recently admitted he was worried that being in lockdown – and the sense of helplessness it’s created – could have sent him spiralling towards depression.
But the chart-topping star has managed to successfully navigate his own "fear and panic".
He explained: "I noticed at the start of the lockdown that I was going into fear.
"But the difference between me now and the person I used to be … I saw it, thought ‘That’s interesting – tomorrow will be different’. And it was.
"Whereas before I used to think that I’d feel that way for a decade."
