Meanwhile, Take That fans are set to be in for a treat as Gary Barlow will feature in Robbie's latest music video.
A source told The Sun: 'Robbie is going to cause mayhem among Take That fans when his video is released.

'He shot it on Monday at a flat in Shoreditch in east London. It’s for Mixed Signals, the song Brandon Flowers gave him. Gary was obviously more than happy to get involved with it.
'They talk all the time and have got all sorts of plans for new Take That stuff, but they knew this would be a way to whet our appetites.'
Robbie's wife Ayda is also set to feature in the video.
The Angels singer is also keen to try and crack America one more time, having failed to make an impression stateside with his pop career.
He told the Daily Star: 'Nobody knows who I am. I can look at them and they can look at me.
'I get to stare at them and they get to stare at me, but they don't star because they don't know who I am. I don't like this. I want to change this.'
After a spell living in LA, Robbie now lives back in the UK with Ayda, however, he longs to return.
He said: 'Now I have changed my mind and I really regret it.'
