Robbie Williams has shown off his sense of humour by poking fun at his New Year’s Eve sanitiser snafu.
The pop heartthrob star got 2017 off to a memorable start when he was captured on camera, slopping on hand cleaning gel after high-fiving fans at his Robbie Rocks Big Ben Live gig on BBC1.
It triggered a host of funny responses on social media – but none were funnier than the joke the star shared himself.
Robbie and his wife Ayda both shared a video clip showing the star shaking hands with and hugging a friend as he wishes her a Happy New Year.
Shuddering, he then heads off to give his hands a good going over with anti-bacterial gel.
The hilarious video was captioned: “Wiping the slate clean for 2017 #instafun #instagood #cleanslate #familyfunday.”
