Robbie Williams is showing no signs of slowing down despite the impending birth of his first child.
And during an interview with Radio 2's Chris Evans, the singer revealed that he may in fact MISS the birth altogether.
Robbie admitted to Evans his wife isn't impressed with the fact that he's agreed to play four gigs in
the UK at the same time their baby is due.

Decisions, decisions... This morning on Radio 2
Robbie Williams asked Chris Evans for advice concerning the possibility
his wife Ayda Field go go into labour when he's away from home doing a
show
Dilemma: Robbie Williams is expecting his first child with his wife Ayda Field any day now
The father-to-be revealed the drama today (Monday) as he promoted new single Candy
on radio stations all over central London.
Asking the popular host for some advice, Robbie started: 'I've had a bit of a falling out with the wife.
He
continued: 'So I've got gigs this week, the baby could come at any
minute, the wife has said, "If I go into labour and you've got a gig in
say Leeds or Dublin, you've got to cancel it and come home."
'I put it to you Chris Evans, I ask you, please tell me what I should do?'
Admitting that it wasn't long ago
that he was in the exact same situation as Robbie, Evans told him to
have a helicopter on standby in case his wife should go into labour
during one of his shows away from home.
Paying
no mind to the radio DJs advice Robbie continued: 'I'm going to
pretend. This is what I'm going to tell her [Ayda] there is some
helicopter behind the gig in Dublin, but that's expensive, so I'm not
really going to do it.'
He added: 'I'm going to tell her that's there and then keep my fingers crossed.'
Sticking
to the ethos that that show must go on, Williams argued his case as
Chris warned him that the birth of his baby, and told him: 'She'll
probably be overdue because it's her first ... However don't say there's
anything standing by if that isn't standing by.'
Refusing to take note, the former Take That star said: 'I'm going to. I'm just going to lie'.

at Radio 2 where he debuted his new single Candy
Fans who had been listening on, were quick to text in with their comments about Robbie's dilemma.
One wrote: 'Drop everything and go. Your fans will understand, I'm one, I am coming to the gig, it won't matter to me.'
Another one sent a message that read, in capital letters: 'Go to your wife Robbie'.
Joking he continued: 'I'm getting it. It's slowly coming to me.
Shocked by the response, Robbie said: 'Oooh - everyone seems to be very understanding.'
And
after finding out live on air that he was insured for child birth if he
did leave the show, he quickly changed his tune: 'Wherever I am, I'm
sorry I've got to to leave that's cool - I'm sorted.'
Giving the thumbs up: Robbie appeared to be in high spirits as he headed to his next location
The
38-year-old singer was pictured earlier today (Monday) looking very
buff as he left BBC Radio 2 following a catch up with Chris Evans.
Showcasing
his built physique, the singer donned an ensemble which was a cross
between smart and casual, as he exited the radio station with his thumbs
up.
Robbie teamed his black V-neck with a pair of navy tailored trousers, a leather tuxedo belt and black shoes.
The
Let Me Entertain You performer also stopped to take pictures with some
fans before he headed on to his next interview with Radio 1's Chris
Moyles.

you you big strong boy.'
To which Robbie quipped: 'Yeah, yeah I'm a buff ting.'
'You've grown up rather well', Evans added.

Speaking
about the single, the Williams said: 'It's a summer song about a girl
who thinks she's great. And she might be, but she's a bit nefarious with
her ways.'
And Chris Evans referred to it as 'an instant number one'.
On
the micro-blogging site this morning, the singer uploaded a picture of
the artwork for the single which is a mask of Robbie's head covered in
pink spots.
