Robbie Williams Reunites With Viral Take That Superfan Onstage in Wolverhampton

The cameo stemmed from a Netflix clip that revived her 1992 plea.

Overview

  • At The Halls in Wolverhampton on February 9, Robbie Williams brought Jemma Williamson onstage and she repeated her now‑famous line before he hugged her and she returned to her seat.
  • Williamson went viral after archival footage from an early‑1990s HMV Chester signing showed the then 14‑year‑old asking Robbie to call her.
  • Robbie had recently posted a video trying to ring the decades‑old number shown in the clip, drawing more than 3.3 million views on Instagram.
  • Williamson confirmed the original landline is inactive and that her 1990s shout‑out omitted the 0151 area code, which explains why the call failed.
  • Radio and TV follow‑ups, including Scott Mills on BBC Radio 2 and Good Morning Britain, helped track her down and set up the onstage reunion.
