Robbie Williams delivered a nostalgic surprise during his Wolverhampton concert on Monday night, inviting a longtime fan on stage who first made headlines more than 30 years ago.
A Viral Documentary Moment
Jemma Williamson, then 14, appeared in the Take That Netflix documentary after traveling from Wirral to Chester for a band signing event. Unable to get inside, she seized her chance outside the venue, urging Williams to call her and giving out her phone number on camera. That clip resurfaced recently, going viral with more than 107,000 likes on Instagram after Williams himself attempted to dial the number during the documentary.
Reliving the Memory on Stage
At The Halls in Wolverhampton, Williams introduced her to the crowd: “Please welcome, Jemma from the Take That documentary.”
Williamson repeated her famous line: “Robbie’s my favourite because he’s got gorgeous eyes and a gorgeous body and he can call me any time.”
The audience erupted in cheers as Williams hugged her before she returned to her seat.
Fan Reaction and Nostalgia
Now a nursery teacher in Wolverhampton, Williamson said she was overwhelmed by the positive response. “I think it’s brought back a bit of nostalgia for everybody,” she reflected. Williams joked about whether she had been inundated with calls, but Williamson confirmed the number no longer worked.
Robbie’s Career Milestone
The moment came as Williams continues his Long 90’s tour, performing in smaller venues reminiscent of his early solo career. His latest album, Britpop, recently became his 16th number one, breaking the record previously held by The Beatles. Williams described the project as the album he had always wanted to make when he first left Take That, marking another milestone in his decades-long career.
