A Robbie Williams superfan who went viral after appearing in Netflix’s recent Take That documentary reunited with the singer on stage in Wolverhampton on Monday night (09.02.26).
Jemma Williamson, now a nursery teacher living in Wolverhampton, first caught public attention more than 30 years ago when she was filmed outside a Take That signing event in Chester. At the time, the then-14-year-old had travelled from the Wirral hoping to meet her heartthrob, but was unable to get inside the venue. She stayed outside regardless, delivering an enthusiastic message to camera, urging the star to call her — a clip that resurfaced in the Netflix series and quickly went viral on social media.
During Robbie’s show at The Halls in Wolverhampton this week, the singer invited Williamson on stage to recreate the moment that made her a fan favourite.
Introducing her to the crowd, he said: “Please welcome Jemma from the Take That documentary.”
Standing beside him in front of hundreds of fans, Williamson repeated her now-famous line: “Robbie’s my favourite because he’s got gorgeous eyes and a gorgeous body and he can call me any time.”
Robbie jokingly asked whether she had received any calls after the documentary aired, prompting her to reveal that the number she gave in the 1990s no longer works.
The audience erupted in cheers as the Angels hitmaker, 51, hugged her before she returned to her seat.
The original documentary clip gained more than 107,000 likes on Instagram after Robbie attempted to ring the decades-old number while watching the series, sparking a wave of nostalgia among fans.
Williamson said: “I think it’s brought back a bit of nostalgia for everybody.”
