Robbie Williams demands massive pay rise from Simon Cowell on top of his £10million pay packet
The X Factor judge, 44, is thought to have landed a £10million deal to appear on this year's production and hopes his appearances on Simon Cowell’s show could lead to his own
ROBBIE Williams has demanded a huge rise to his £10million pay deal to return to The X Factor next year.
He said bosses have been delighted with him and wife Ayda Field this year, but insisted: “They’ve had their money’s worth.”
Robbie will perform a medley of his hits with the contestants on this weekend’s finale before a duet of Angels with finalist Scarlett Lee.
He said: “It’s basically the Robbie Williams show for the next two nights.”
The former Take That star added: “We would love to come back. But we need to be treated kindly, so we’ll see. Is that my pitch for a pay rise? Abso-f***ing-lutely.”
In an exclusive interview ahead of the final Robbie, 44, said he hoped his appearances on Simon Cowell’s show could lead to his own.
He said: “Honestly, The X Factor has been my favourite thing that I’ve done in showbiz and a welcome break from the thing that I’ve been doing for the last 30 years.

“I’ve always dreamed of having my own TV show. I want to do something like the Morecambe and Wise Show meets the Dean Martin Show meets Noel’s House Party.
“I’m in with all the TV bigwigs now. And they appear to be happy with me.”
He described working with wife Ayda, 39, as “amazing” and added: “The more of that I can do, the better, because she’s my best mate. We enjoy each other’s company and want to be in each other’s company as much as we can.”
