If you're a celebrity robust enough to manage a spot on lunchtime show Loose Women, we're guessing you probably wouldn't be too worried about who was in the audience.

But apparently fragile little Robbie Williams simply cannot deal with an audience that isn't packed full of his very own fans.

According to the Mirror, the entire audience for the ITV show has been dumped at the last minute and replaced with Robbie-lovers.

Tomorrow's show is an hour-long Robbie-showcasing special, but the original 90 people who had been invited as audience members suddenly received some rather frantic phone calls and emails saying they were out for "reasons beyond our control".

Which suggests Robbie really is that fragile. Four days after the scrapping of the original audience on October 29, Rob announced his appearance on the show via his official fan club website, offering tickets to fans who applied by email, quoting the reference "RobFan".

Claire Smith, who was originally booked for the audience told the Mirror: "It's a fiasco. I got a voicemail on my phone to say I was cancelled, then an email to confirm it.

"When I found out why, I phoned to complain and was told a condition of Robbie's appearance is that the audience is filled with his fans."

An ITV spokeswoman said: "We're sorry for any disappointment felt by audience members originally booked to attend the show," and added that the producers felt that an audience of Robbie's fans would make for a "better atmosphere".

Bet they wouldn't have this trouble with Gary Barlow.

Robbie, it seems, is more of a diva that we imagined... in fact, he's not far away from matching these diva demands...
