Robbie Williams stunned Live 8 viewers by asking presenter Fearne Cotton out while she was interviewing him - and now Fearne has revealed that next time he asks, she’ll accept the date.

At Live 8, Robbie said “you’re single, I’m single, I live in LA, I’ve got dogs, come and live with me in LA, let’s get it on!” and Fearne stayed pretty cool about it - but now she’s revealed to Heat magazine that she “went bright red when I met him. I really fancy him.”

“Robbie’s got lovely, oceany eyes. He smells delicious. A touch babyfied with that nice, fresh smell of just-washed clothes,” she gushed. “He’s a really sweet guy, he’s really funny and has a brilliant sense of humour.”

“He always says ‘hi’ to the crew and is polite to everyone. He’s just a real charmer. He could charm anyone. It’s quite impossible not to fancy him. His whole aura and charisma… He’s such an attractive person in that way. I’ve always cheekily fancied him.”

Fearne is currently filming a new series for BBC1 in the US and is staying in LA near Robbie’s house.

“He told me to give him a ring next time I was out there and go round for coffee. I haven’t got his number - he said he’d give it to me later but I didn’t bump into him. If I’m out in LA, I’ll maybe go over to his house.”

Maybe she should borrow Teri Hatcher’s van to drive over there…
