Robbie Williams uses hand sanitiser after touching BBC audience
Robbie Williams sparked a hilarious reaction from viewers when he used hand sanitiser after touching the audience during a New Year’s TV performance.
The former Take That singer, 42, pulled a spectacular grimace as he doused his hands with the anti-bacterial gel after holding hands with members of the audience who were watching him perform on the BBC’s Robbie Rocks Big Ben Live.
The solo singer had high-fived the crowd and held hands with people watching in the audience after a rendition of Auld Lang Syne.
But when he climbed back on stage, he was given a small bottle of sanitiser gel and proceeded to liberally douse his hands as he grimaced.

US-based journalist Graeme Demianyk posted on twitter: “Robbie Williams and the anti-bac has already defined 2017.”
Luke Johnston said: “Robbie Williams pulling out the hand gel after doing Auld Lang Syne with the public has been my highlight of 2017 so far.”
Michelle Beck posted: “Robbie Williams sanitising his hands after holding hands with some of the crowd is my highlight of 2017.”
Ashley Watkinson tweeted: “Robbie Williams using hand sanitiser after Auld Lang Syne. 2017 off to a flyer.”
A YouTuber named Zoe said: “Robbie Williams sanitising his hand after touching the public is the most hysterical start to a new year ever. The year of memes commences.”
Williams was performing the concert at Westminster’s Central Hall, in the shadow of Big Ben, to see in the New Year.
