Robbie Williams' limo knocks down a photographer

Following his triumphant comeback performance on last night’s X-Factor results show, Robbie Williams was mobbed by fans and photographers as he attempted to leave the TV studios in Wembley. In scenes described as being “chaotic” one rooky 18 year old photographer got a little too close to the pop star’s limo which resulted in him being dragged underneath the vehicle.  

The former Take That singer appeared on the X-Factor to perform his brand new single, due for release today, entitled Bodies. It was the first time Robbie had performed the track on live TV in the UK and he was visibly emotional after the appreciative response he received from the audience.

After Robbie emerged from his successful performance he was whisked away in the back his Chrysler limo when the snapper fell under the car. Security rushed to the aid of the trapped photographer. Robbie was described as looking “tearful” by one onlooker as he left his limo following the accident. The young photographer, known only as Steven, was said to have received medical treatment but his injuries were only minor.  

Robbie also acted as a mentor earlier in the week for this year’s X-Factor contestants. When asked who he tipped for glory this year, he chose to remain silent and said he was unable to pick between them.

Following the first live show of the series, Rachel and girl group Kandy Rain found themselves in the sing-off. After the judges failed to reach a decision, it went down to the public vote with Kandy Rain coming in last and exiting the show. Their mentor, Louis Walsh, pulled out of last night’s show following the sudden death of Stephen Gately, whose band Boyzone Louis manages.
