Robbie Williams: "I deserve OBE like Barlow"

Chart-topping Robbie Williams thinks he deserves an OBE like his Take That star pal Gary Barlow.

Singer/songwriter Barlow visited Buckingham Palace earlier this week where he received the special honour from Britain's Queen Elizabeth II.

Williams thinks he deserves the honour just as much as Barlow - who was given the title for his services to the entertainment industry and to charity.

Speaking in front of 20,000 fans at a show at London’s O2 arena on Thursday, he said, according to The Sun: “The Queen has seen me perform a number of times now. I was at the Jubilee, singing my little heart out. Then last week, at the Royal Variety Performance, I sang the new single. Pretty well I might add.

He added: “In the line-up at the end, there I am, waiting for a compliment. And she thought I was Pudsey’s minder. Gary Barlow OBE. Robbie Williams? Nothing.”

On receiving his OBE on November 21, Barlow told press that it  "hadn't seemed real until today".

And writing on his official Twitter page, Barlow expressed his gratitude and told fans that he had been given a fancy car for transport: "Thank you to the lovely folk at Bentley Crewe for giving us a car for the special day #brilliant (sic)."
