Robbie Williams has paid tribute to his new daughter and admitted that she has probably "saved his life".

The singer became a father for the first time last year after wife Ayda Field gave birth to baby Teddy.

Speaking to The Sun, the 'Candy' man revealed that he has inked a tattoo of his daughter on one of his arms.

He added that she has helped "save his life" because the birth encouraged him to give up smoking. Williams said:

"I have a little teddy bear with a T on her tummy tattooed on my left arm. I'm not sure how else I've changed but I've given up smoking so Teddy has probably saved my life in more ways than one."

Williams meanwhile is gearing up to tour the UK in a massive stadium tour this summer, which will see pal Olly Murs support.
