The singer ended his set by performing latest single Video Killed the Radio Star

Robbie Williams has opened the BBC's Electric Proms series with a headline show at London's Roundhouse.

He was accompanied by a full band and string section for the gig which showcased new material from his forthcoming album Reality Killed the Video Star along with some classics.

Acts including Dizzee Rascal, Doves and Dame Shirley Bassey do their own Electric Proms shows later this week.

The Bodies singer caught up with Radio 1's Scott Mills to tell him about how his comeback's been going, his life with partner Ayda Field and what was behind him shouting, 'I'm rich beyond my wildest dreams' when he signed a contract thought to be worth £80 million back in 2002.

Your next single, Bodies, has had its world premiere on Radio 1. What kind of feedback have you had so far?

We had Lily Allen in before we had the world exclusive of The Fear. She wanted me to play it at the end of the interview so she wouldn't have to see any of the comments. How have you been feeling?

Robbie Williams says he doesn't like going out and enjoys time at home

Do you get nervous playing your new singles for the first time and why?

Is there one thing you wish you hadn't said in an interview?

You managed to disappear for quite some time. Nobody saw you. How did you manage that?

Was the time around when you brought out Rudebox (your last album) in 2006 a weird time for you?

With your music, does it bother you what other people say and think about it?
