Robbie Williams' bonkers private island idea to make it through 'weirdest year' 2020

Robbie Williams could be about to buy an island - where he and a hand-picked selection of others can wait out 2020.

Amid "the weirdest year on the planet", Robbie's looking for a bit of respite from all the doom and gloom - which could see him splash out on his own island.

While it might not be the first time he's flirted with the idea of his very own landmass, this time it's certainly quirkier.

He reckons the only way to get through these challenging times is to take a bunch of "good people" and retreat to the Williams' personal island.

"I was thinking about getting all the good people together and just buying a massive island and having 'Good People Island'," he told The Daily Star.

"2020 has got to be the weirdest year on the planet - scary things.

"I don't require normality, safety would be nice, normality is overrated."

In 2012, he was reported to be eyeing up an island off the Californian coast, White Rock Island, for half a million quid.

It was said he planned to flip the island into a base for spotting UFOs.

Robbie's been quarantining in LA amid coronavirus with wife Ayda Field, and kids Theodora, seven, Charlton, five, Colette, two, and three-month-old Beau.

Robbie added that he's been recording brand new tracks while he and the family are locked down - including a duet with a rapper who Robbie didn't name.

While Robbie's been grateful that he's had so much time with Ayda and the kids, he did tell that he'd suffered a degree of anxiety over the work he was missing during lockdown.

Still, he knows that the quality time with his family is invaluable.

Chatting with Mark Wright on his Heart Radio show, Robbie revealed: "I've been wanting to get back to work and do things.

"And I've been thinking, I've sort of got anxiety about it, I can't get and be and do, and then I thought to myself, do you know what, I'm in exactly the right place with exactly the right people and exactly the right time.

"There might never be another time on the planet where I get to spend this much concentrated time with my family, my kids, so I'm very grateful."
