Although failing to win a Brit for best live act (the award going to Muse), Robbie Williams got a "wave of love" from the stars at the Brit Awards. Russell Brand (the comedian and presenter of this years award show) told the audience "Let’s send actual love to Robbie. It’s for you Robbie. Get well England’s Rose."

And Gary Barlow from Take That admitted: "If it wasn’t for Robbie and his huge success, there wouldn’t have still been the interest there for us. So cheers Robbie. Thanks a lot."

On hearing that Robbie had been admitted to rehab, David Beckham's wife Victoria promptly sent him a letter with her support. Other stars offering their support included the ex-Spice Girls Emma Bunton und Geri Halliwell, as well as Kylie Minogue. His pals Jonathan Wilkes, Ant and Dec are of course backing him to the hilt.
