Robbie Williams has showed off his bright new smile.
The former Take That star had some unexpected dental work done – but seemed thrilled with the results. The new gnashers were needed after years of damage caused by drug use.
Robbie, 50, shared his new look on social media on Friday. He told fans his updated smile is only temporary, though, and he will be getting a permanent set of teeth soon.

He has explained that his old teeth were damaged by rubbing cocaine on his gums, as well as a bad dental hygiene routine, using his teeth to open bottles, from drinking coffee, and from clenching them for 30 years.

Robbie said: “So yesterday I went for a consultation for my new teeth. That’s what I thought I was doing.
“Imagine my surprise when I came out with a full set of brand-new teeth. At least the temporary ones before the individual ones are placed in a month or so.”
He went on: “I f***ing love them.”

Robbie joked he’d had a “semi-relapse” from the laughing gas. He went on: “Anyway, these are my new teeth for a while. Maybe a few of you were fond of the old ones. They were f***ed.
“They served me well, but I absolutely abused them. Opening bottles with them. Espresso staining them. Rubbing coke on them. Not brushing them properly. Clenching them for 3 whole decades.”

He said: “We’ve been through a lot together. But now it’s time to move on. Goodbye my little nubby-yellow-friends.”
Fans heaped praise on Robbie’s new look. One said: “Love your new teeth and your joyful smile.”
Another laughed: “Look at that gorgeous smile! Never change Robbie (well apart from your new teeth! That’s okay!)”
Someone else told him his smile was “shining even more brightly now”.

Robbie has been very honest about his past with drugs. He went to rehab in 2007 after struggling with both class-A and prescription drugs.
Back in 2009, the singer said: “I would do 20 Vicodin in a night. I might have been 24 hours away from dying. Then I’d take Adderall, which was like speed for people with ADHD. I’d be doing colossal, heart-stopping amounts of that.
“You can buy Sativa, which is basically LSD for five minutes. It’s powerful stuff. That’s where I was. You try your best to balance them off against each other but you never manage it.”
