Robbie's X Factor stage fright

Robbie Williams had a bit of stage fright before his performance on The X Factor on Sunday night. In his first live performance in three years, he performed his new single Bodies to an ecstatic audience. 

More then 14 million viewers tuned in to watch Robbie on the hit show - but the Rock DJ singer's comeback didn't go as smoothly as planned when the stage doors wouldn't make way for his grand entrance. 

Looking very nervous, sweaty and wide-eyed, the former Take That star was clearly shaken when he had to shove the door open to get on stage. 

Robbie admitted: 'I wasn't as nervous as I thought I was going to be... Until the friggin sliding door wouldn't open. 

'I had to wedge it open myself. I had a whole pose planned and whatnot. But that went out of the window.' 

But despite to dodgy start, Robbie, 35, made sure he wowed the crowds with a typically energetic performance. 

Afterwards, he said: 'So pleased... I think the boy's back.' We think we agree, Robbie!
