"Robbie Is A Drama Queen"

Robbie Williams' former manager has labelled the singer a "drama queen", following his admittance to rehab yesterday.

Nigel Martin-Smith managed Williams' early career during the Take That era, and claims Robbie's entire life is overstated. The singer was admitted to a rehab centre in the US yesterday on his 33rd birthday, for an addiction to prescription painkillers.

"He's very theatrical," said Martin-Smith. "His whole life is one huge soap opera. He might be after a bit of sympathy. If I was a Robbie fan I wouldn't be worried - he'll go to his rehab, have a lie-down and a couple of Anadins and he'll be fine."

The shot at Williams may not come as a surprise to observers, as the two are currently fighting a legal battle over lyrics contained in Robbie's recent single Rudebox, which Martin-Smith claims defame him.
