Robbie Williams' highly anticipated docuseries has officially dropped on Netflix – and nothing was off limits. The four-part series kicked off by showing a 16-year-old Robbie joining Take That alongside Gary Barlow, Jason Orange, Mark Owen and Howard Donald. Despite being an instant hit, Robbie left the band five years later. The remaining four members parted ways the following year. Now, the 49-year-old is looking back at his lifetime spent in the spotlight, with never-seen-before footage. Robbie Williams | Official Trailer | Netflix www.youtube.com Here are five of the major talking points from the show: What happened between him and collaborator Guy Chambers? In one of the eps, Robbie shared how the partnership between him and Guy Chambers started to break down in the early 2000s, explaining how he felt restricted when his song 'Come Undone' was dismissed. The pair went on to part ways when Robbie addressed that he wanted their partnership to end. "He melted and now there’s a different Guy. And maybe there’s a different me too… I think Guy thought, 'We are a band called Robbie Williams,' but I needed full control as much as possible," he explained. The pair later reunited and worked on albums including Swings Both Ways, Under the Radar volumes one to three and The Christmas Present. His feud with Gary Barlow "It seemed like there was one person being managed in Take That, and it was Gary Barlow," Robbie candidly revealed in the series. "It was all geared around him and, as young person, I would have been jealous of that. I suppose a lot of me resented him.” Robbie reacted to resurfaced footage which showed him making a joke that his former Take That band member "is dead". The first ep saw Robbie's daughter ask who he hated most in the band to which he confirmed it was Gary. "I’m sorry I treated Gary like that," he said. His relationship with Geri Halliwell Robbie dated Spice Girls' Geri Halliwell in the early 90s, while he was at Alcoholics Anonymous. At the time, Robbie believed that she was calling the paparazzi on the pair when they were out and about. However, he now takes that back. "Now I don't think that's true for one second, but at the time I did believe it," he said. "It just goes to show what being in the spotlight can do to you psychologically when you can't trust anybody." Why he left Take That... Robbie shared the real reason behind leaving Take That, after rumours it was due to addiction issues. Speaking to the cameras, he revealed: "The sense that I wasn't ready or capable to fulfil the role that was being asked of me was palpable. "One day I went in for rehearsals, and then at lunchtime, they said, 'Rob, we need to have a band meeting.' I said to the boys I just couldn't be there anymore. "Then they said, 'Look, we wanna see if we can do this tour as a four-piece. What do you think?' "And in the end, 'What do you think?' was me deciding to leave Take That." Opening up about his struggles... Robbie bravely opened up about his past struggles with drugs and alcohol, saying he "was ingesting everything [he] could get [his] hands on - ecstasy, cocaine, drinking." He went on to say that he drank "like a bottle of vodka" a night before going into rehearsals. "Everybody knew I was in trouble, but they didn't care, I'd gone past the point of no return," he said. "My life had spiralled out of control so severely that my manager understood what needed to happen, I needed to be carted off to rehab. He continued: "I used to drink and do drugs because it helped me not feel this way, when you strip that away all the everything comes up that you’ve been suppressing and I’ve been suppressing that for years. I’m depressed and I’m mentally ill." Robbie, who was diagnosed with depression in his early twenties, said: "People at this point still thought that if good things are happening to you and you're successful, what is there to be upset about? "I had to go on stage in front of thousands of people feeling like you’re on the hundredth floor, the room’s burning and you either stay in the room or burn to death or you jump out of the window to your death. It’s that uncomfortable." How to join the indy100's free WhatsApp channel Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

A theory has resurfaced online that pop star Taylor Swift was previously a 4chan user. For those who don't know, 4chan is an image board website known for its controversial and offensive content posted by users. For years, a theory has existed surrounding the Blank Space singer being a potential user on the site, and it has seemingly resurfaced as many talk about their clues for the theory. Here is some of the evidence users have gathered: 1) In November 2011, a user asked 4chan to name their cat, with one suggestion being Meredith. A day later, Taylor Swift debuted her her cat Meredith. 2) Faces very similar to Swift's have show up on 4chan. With users going so far as to compare backgrounds featured in the pictures on 4chan and other photos uploaded by Swift on social media. 3) A /b/tard (a forum on 4chan) claims they once spoke to a musician on Omegle who said her name was Taylor and that she was on 4chan. 4) A user on the forum asked 4chan why they would say if they knew Taylor Swift would be reading it. 5) "One of the 50 most famous people on the planet" asked the forum for questions. 6) A 4chan user posted "Nothing quite like a freezing cold, wintery beach", the same day Swift posted the same thing to Twitter. Of course, this isn't exactly the most compelling evidence, and it's more likely to be a regular person crafting the illusion of being Swift by taking photos form her social media and some sly Photoshop. 4chan's founder Christopher Poole (a.k.a moot) told /b/ forum to stop talking about it, saying the photos can all be found online and the screenshots are Photoshopped. He added that the photos are posted from an IP "that is definitely not her." Of course, when did a disproved theory stop anyone from believing it? "Taylor Swift pays moot to say she isn't on /b/ so she can remain anonymous", wrote one speculative user on Reddit. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
