The unsuspecting duo were in the audience at Riverside Studios in Hammersmith, West London, when Richard got the former Take That star to speak to them from LA via a live link.

Lucy said on the couple’s Robbie Williams Rewind podcast: “Robbie said he had re-recorded the lyrics to Angels to incorporate our names.

“Richard tried to get a reaction but we just had to sit there.

“Robbie then held up a picture of us on our wedding day and asked if we wanted him to sign it and of course we were not allowed to say anything.”
