Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Sophie Ellis-Bextor apologises for being 'rude' to Robbie Williams
Caption: Sophie Ellis-Bextor apologises for being 'rude' to Robbie Williams. In 1998, at the age of 19, the Murder on the Dancefloor singer turned down a slot to support Robbie on his first solo tour following his exit from Take That. She also labelled the star a "tart" and a “prat”. Sophie has now apologised for her past "unkind" comments about the Rock DJ hitmaker after they resurfaced in Robbie's newly-released Netflix documentary. ”I didn't need to see it again to feel bad. I genuinely have felt c**ppy about how I spoke for the 25 years since I said it. I thought it was clever to be gobby back then but it wasn't cool then and it's even worse to see it now.” "Not proud. Not how I'm raising my kids. That being said, I wanted to reach out and apologise so a few years back I found an address for Robbie and wrote him a note to say how sorry I was. He was very gracious and forgiving.” Sophie went on to explain that she and Robbie have since "become friends" and "made some songs together”. "I suppose the morale (sic) of this story is, as ever, be kind. To own your mistakes.” "And if you're ever cruel, try to make sure it's not filmed as it's b**ody brutal to see sharp tongued teenage me after all these years!”. The four-part series, titled Robbie Williams, is now streaming on Netflix. THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
