ROBBIE WILLIAMS SUPERFAN FINALLY GETS THEIR BIG MOMENT AT GIG AFTER GOING VIRAL
A Robbie Williams superfan who instantly went viral after appearing in Netflix Take That documentary has enjoyed a sweet reunion with the singer onstage.
Nursery teacher Jemma Williamson, who instantly created an iconic moment in pop history over 30 years ago when she was filmed outside a Take That signing event in Chester, joined the star on stage during his concert on Monday.
Just 14 at the time, an excited Jemma had travelled from the Wirral in the hopes of meeting her teen heartthrob, but was left heartbroken when she was unable to get into the venue.
Remaining outside nonetheless, the devoted fan gave an impassioned message to camera, pleading with Robbie to call her - a clip that got a fresh lease of life in the new Netflix documentary - and swiftly went viral on social media.

During Angels hitmaker Robbie’s show at The Halls in Wolverhampton this week, the 51-year-old 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 her pop idol 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 then quipped as to whether she'd received any calls after the documentary aired, prompting her to reveal that the number she gave back in the 90s is no longer in working order. The audience erupted in cheers as the Angels hitmaker, 51, hugged her before she returned to her seat.
The original documentary clip gained over 107,000 likes on Instagram after Robbie attempted to ring the decades‑old number while watching the series, delighting fans. Williamson said: “I think it’s brought back a bit of nostalgia for everybody."
Over the weekend, Robbie shared a video on Instagram of himself watching the documentary and attempting to ring the number shown in the clip. The call failed, prompting laughter from fans and sparking Scott Mills' on-air search to find the woman in question.
When they finally tracked her down, and she joined Scott in the BBC Radio 2 studio, she explained, “It was 1992 and there was a record signing at HMV Chester. My dad wouldn’t take me so I had to get the bus. It took me an hour to get there and by the time I arrived they weren’t letting any more fans in.”
She ended up going around the back of the store with other fans she'd met that day, she explained, where she bumped into a film crew that was recording.
“They were singing and chatting and filming for a documentary that was aired on VHS in the ’90s,” she said. “I knew I’d been filmed back then, but I didn’t realise they’d used clips of me talking, so when I suddenly appeared on Netflix, I had no idea it was coming.”
