Robbie Williams split his trousers during last night's Progress tour date with Take That in Cardiff, Wales. 

The 'Angels' singer experienced the awkward encounter during his performance of 'Let Me Entertain You' and continued the song without drawing attention to it once.

But as soon as it was over he took the trousers off and stood in front of the 70,000 strong crowd in a pair of tight black pants. 

Addressing the embarrassing incident, Williams told the audience at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium:

"I'm so excited, I split my kecks!"
