Robbie Williams has dispelled any rumours of weight gain by posting a topless photo of himself on his website.

The singer was reportedly victim of paparazzis as he went for lunch at the weekend, with some photos said to be less than flattering on Williams' physique.

However, the singer took to the blog on his official website to post a photo of his lean torso - with two middle fingers aloft too - in a post entitled 'Dear Paparazzi...'.

The post said: "Dear paparazzi (that ambushed our lunch at the weekend) - Thank you for your internationally syndicated horrid picture of me (the one you put up of me leaving Taverna Tony's…..) just to 'weigh' it up here''s me at home the next day…..with much love and respect."
