'Candy' chart-topper Robbie Williams has admitted that he likes to perform raps for his new daughter, Teddy, instead of the more traditional lullabies.

He made the unexpected revelation during a Twitter chat via iTunes yesterday (November 5) and explained that he finds nursery rhymes "boring" so entertains baby Theodora Rose with Dr. Dre's hits: "The Chronic, Dre Dre, Ain't Nothing but a G thang cos nursery rhymes are boring."

Williams also confessed that making a Christmas album is something he would be interested in, but not for a few years: "Yes I have but I've got a few Christmases left, so I'll do it in the future."

He added that becoming a father hasn't yet influenced his songwriting because the pregnancy came after his new record, 'Take The Crown', was in the final stages: "Don't know yet. Ayda got pregnant. We'd finished writing the album. I'll know more next yr when I start writing again."
