This is the moment Robbie Williams made a 94-year-old fan’s wish come true.
Norma, a resident of Humberston Care Home in north-east Lincolnshire, told staff she had followed the singer since he was in Take That and had always wanted to see him.
The house arranged for her to see a Robbie Williams tribute act and then went a step further by arranging for her to speak to the singer, who admitted he was urged to call her by his daughter, who had seen Norma’s story online.
Norma said: “I was absolutely amazed. Really surprised.”
“Something like this had never happened to me before.
“He was in America, lying in bed. I almost told him you could have done it for me!”
The moment was organized by Bailey Greetham, who organizes fitness and wellbeing sessions with residents and records videos on behalf of the home.
He added: “She said she was going to a Robbie Williams tribute, but I’m a bit upset because it’s not the real Robbie.
“I had the camera with me so I said, let’s film something and we put it on the internet and it got a million views and Robbie got tagged 5,000 times.”
