A sexual harassment case against Robbie Williams and his wife Ayda Field has been dismissed
ROBBIE WILLIAMS and his wife Ayda Field won’t be required to take the stand in court after a sexual harassment case against them was dismissed.
The couple had been accused of a series of offences, including discrimination, breach of employment contract and fraud by their former personal assistant Gilles De Bonfi lhs who has now dropped the allegations.

Gilles had claimed that Ayda, 37, had: “Engaged in unwanted and unwelcome sexual conduct and behaviour” towards him. He also stated that she had exposed her naked body, discussed her own sexual activity and asked him intrusive questions about his own sex life while he worked for the pair between October 2014 and January 2015 before being fi red for wrongful conduct and neglecting his duties.
However a spokesperson for Los Angeles Superior Court said the case, which had been due to go to trial on February 16, had been dismissed with prejudice – meaning it can’t be brought back to court. Gilles’ lawyer Yitz Weiss declined to comment on whether they decided to drop the claims because of a private settlement. Pop star Robbie, 42, and Loose Women panellist Ayda – who got married in August 2010 and have children Theodora, four, and Charlton, two, together – have always denied the allegations.

Drew Barrymore claimed that her two-year-old daughter Frankie looks like ET
It was her role in ET that launched the career of Drew Barrymore and it seems that life is now mirroring art for the star who claims her youngest daughter is the spitting image of the 1980s alien.
“My daughter looks like ET – I’m serious,” says Drew, 41, who has four-year-old Olive and two-year-old Frankie from her marriage to now ex-husband Will Kopelman, and of course a very famous godfather in the shape of ET director Steven Spielberg.
“ He and I laugh. I know she might not appreciate that comment later but for now and for me and Steven it’s a very beautiful running joke and poetic, I might add, that I gave birth to ET!”

The Terminator star, who is in Italy promoting his organisation R20, which helps governments around the globe develop low-carbon projects to help fight climate change, attended the Vatican’s general audience and was allowed to greet the Pope personally.
“It was my great, great honour to meet His Holiness Pope Francis,” the 69-year-old gushed on his Instagram page.
“I am a huge fan – he is not only a wonderful leader for the Catholic Church, he is a fantastic steward for all of God’s creatures. His environmental work inspires me and I look forward to working together for a clean energy future.”

“For me honestly… it’s like a bucket list thing,” says the 63-year-old during a joint US radio interview alongside the Maggie May hit-maker.
“I’m trying to do everything that I didn’t do, and singing with Sir Rod is a big deal to me because when I started I was singing his songs.
“I was in the shower trying to squeeze my voice together so that I could sound like him… and the fact that he has longevity and that he’s a real musician and that he really is committed, it’s kind of great.”

“Growing up when your father is telling you, ‘You’re a young kid’, that people are ‘out to get him’, can you imagine growing up with that? It’s really, really disturbing. I genuinely wish her all the best, what she’s been through is unimaginable.”
