Robbie Wheel-liams pops into Old Town
 
Last year it was Madonna - and this year it's Robbie Williams!
 
Two of the biggest names in pop shopping in Old Town, Swindon.

'No Regrets' on his purchase:
Robbie Williams spotted in Old Town Swindon
 
Today, Robbie Williams was seen coming out of Red Planet Bikes in Wood Street after buying a mountain bike - wearing a balaclava! - before being picked up outside by a chauffeured car.
 
His surprise visit, no doubt, the first of many (as we predicted) after the former Take That star bought an £8.5 million pound country house just outside Swindon before Christmas.
 
"He was here, and he did buy a bike," said a member of staff from Red Planet Bikes, "but that's all we're saying."
 
Robbie's appearance comes a year after the Queen of pop Madonna herself popped into Old Town Hardware in 2007, on her way to her country home in south Wiltshire.
