ITV also promises that Robbie will be joined by a “glittering array of celebrity guests for this very special and intimate one-off show”.

Robbie said: “I’m so excited to be working with ITV on this very special programme. I’ll be bringing new songs from my Christmas album 'The Christmas Present' as well as the classic hits, to this beautiful and iconic venue."

Robbie recently tweeted that he's been busy signing copies of his new album, quipping: "100 down, 9,900 to go... x."

Executive Producer for Hat Trick/Livewire Pictures, Jimmy Mulville added: “Robbie is without a doubt one of the greatest entertainers of the age. To watch him connect with his audience is a sheer pleasure and so it's a privilege for us all at Hat Trick and Livewire Pictures to be working with him on this ITV special.”

It’s Not The Robbie Williams Christmas Show will air in December on ITV.
