Superfan says kiss from Robbie Williams was 'surreal'

A Robbie Williams superfan was kissed by the singer during his recent show at Murrayfield in Edinburgh.

Debbie Allan, from Dundee, spoke to STV News about the surreal moment she was serenaded by Williams at his Scottish show on Saturday night.

“I did know that part of the show was him singing ‘She’s the One’ to someone, he came down the stairs and picked someone next to us, but he wanted to sing to someone from Scotland, and he looked directly at me, and I said I’m from Dundee and he picked me,” the 41-year-old said.

“It was such a surreal moment, I can’t believe he picked me for that part of the show. It was amazing.”

Debbie and her friends had been waiting outside Murrayfield since 6am before the doors opened at 4pm.

“It was quite a long day, but it went by quickly. We do it all the time, so it was just another queuing stint to us,” she said.

Recalling the moment, Debbie said she “couldn’t stop staring” at the Angels singer.

“I just keep replaying the videos. I couldn’t stop staring at him and just burst into tears. People might’ve been jealous, but everyone around me was so happy for me,” she added.

Debbie’s love for the singer goes back to her teenage years when she was a fan of Take That.

Since then, she has been to around 35 of Williams’ shows, travelling across Scotland, England, and even further afield.

“The furthest we’ve gone to see a show was Germany, but we do all the Scottish shows,” she said.

She recalled paying £11 for a ticket in 1997 to see him perform at the Barrowlands in Glasgow.

This time, she paid £170 for a ticket to the Murrayfield show, but she said the experience was “priceless”.
