Robbie shares bed with dogs
Los Angeles: Singer Robbie Williams and his wife Ayda Field share their bed with eight dogs. The ‘Take That’ singer, who is married to US actress, has splashed out on a set of ‘doggy steps’ so that his pooches Maggie, Wall-E, Rudy, Samantha, Sid, Duke, Poupette and Baby can reach the bed. “The couple like sleeping with their pooches. Rob couldn’t stand having them sleep in another room – or, worse, outside. But some of the dogs are quite small – the bichon frise pup, particularly – and Robbie’s king-size bed is huge,” a source said. “It was too high up for them all to clamber up. So Rob bought a special, bespoke set of fake fur-lined doggy steps so they can make it up there safely. Now the whole family sleeps together,” the source added. (IANS)
