ROBBIE Williams has been admitted into rehab for treatment for his dependency on prescription drugs, his spokeswoman said today.

The former Take That star, who is 33 today, has entered a clinic in the US.

His spokeswoman Bryony Watts said: “Robbie Williams has today been admitted into a treatment centre in America for his dependency on prescription drugs.

“There will be no further comment on this matter.”

This is not the first time the star, who now lives in LA, has battled with his demons.

After he left Take That, he entered rehab for addiction to drink and drugs.

Model Lisa D'Amato recently revealed Robbie was taking antidepressants and was plagued with worries about his image.

She said: "It was clear he was struggling with his mind. He doesn’t drink, but he needs antidepressants to get him through the day. A lot of the time he seemed on edge."

Robbie received mixed reviews for his latest album Rudebox and only one Brit nomination.

He recently cancelled the Asia leg of his Close Encounters world tour, citing stress and exhaustion as the reason.
