Profile - by Ian Gittins, Q (2004)

"Robert Peter Williams pinpoints one summer morning in 1990 as the moment that his life changed. The 16-year-old received two items of post. The first confirmed he had failed every GCSE he had taken; the second informed him he had passed the boy band audition his mum had entered him for. Williams celebrated by flinging open his bedroom window and informing his Stoke-on-Trent suburb: 'I’m going to be famous!'... Tellingly, this precocious teen was already steeped in show business. Williams’ father Peter was a singer and entertainer, and Robbie had spent his childhood being dragged around the Wheeltappers & Shunters Social Clubs and holiday camps of the North: he credits his dad with teaching him 'good mic technique'."
