    I notice Rob's Dad hasn't posted on X for a few weeks when he used to post most days. Hope he's doing OK.

Jonny looks incredibly well there. ❤️

Can't remember the last time they were together but I know when I saw Ollie Murs instead of Jonny at Rob's Brit Icon award in November 2016 that I realised it must be all over.

When you think that is nearly nine years ago - it's tragic really.

How cool is this 😊

About a month ago, I was on a long Take That binge, probably started around the time Robbie William's bio-pic was released.

You know....the one with the monkey.

As a fan of Robbie's solo music and also Take That, I'm ashamed to admit I haven't watched it yet, but it did lead me to not only discover songs of theirs I've never heard before but also re-discover songs of theirs I already loved, like Back For Good.

I don't know if they're the most underated boy band of the 90s ( I think 98 Degrees still hold that title), but I do think they're definitely the most underrated British boyband. Sorry, 911, I still love you.

It seems impossible that Unicef haven't put Rob's name forward in the past.

Maybe he didn't receive "positive feedback"?

I was wondering what he would have to do to receive at least an OBE. Are there other people who have been treated similar to Rob despite doing a lot for charity etc? What are the criteria?

I don't know elisabeth - you could say George Michael and Freddie Mercury received nothing either and they were both very generous to charities, so he's in good company. I know David Bowie refused his.

I guess it'll come at some point....

In the run-up to the release of my new book, I would like to take you behind the scenes with special stories

that go with the photos in the book.

It was during Take That's very first promotional visit to the Netherlands. The guys were at the beginning of their breakthrough, and we had planned a photo shoot to get some fresh images for the media.
Robbie, still young but already full of bravado, had brought a small hat for his solo portrait. He asked me if it was okay if he put it on. "Of course," I said. "It's just a hat." In fact, I actually found the text on it quite funny.

While we were working on the photos, the door suddenly burst open. The manager – Nigel Martin-Smith, the man who had conceived and shaped Take That – stormed onto the set in a rage. His face on thunderstorms.

"That hat must come off immediately!" he shouted.

Robbie looked at me and said calmly, "He was okay with it."
I nodded. "Yes, no problem."
But for the manager it was non-negotiable.
"Don't use those photos," he snapped at me, in a serious tone.
And then, almost like in a movie, Robbie leaned over and whispered with a mischievous twinkle in his eye,
"Use them."

He took off the hat, visibly impressed by the scene, but the moment was already there. The photos were taken. And as Robbie had asked me, I used them anyway. One of them even appeared life-size on a poster in an English pop magazine. I can imagine how Nigel must have eaten himself.

Years later, Robbie shared an extensive story about the same manager on his Instagram. What a tyrant he was. It became painfully clear what kind of influence that man had had on them.

Robbie's best decision ever? Stepping out of the band – and eventually becoming bigger than the band itself.

This photo is included in my new book Zwart Wit, which is now available for pre-order.

Especially for my followers: you will receive a discount and a signed copy until June 22, delivered to your home.
