First the Furys then the Beckhams - it's seems like just about everyone and their nan is released a documentary nowadays.

And the latest celeb to hop on the trend is none other than Take That star, Robbie Williams, who has just dropped a brand-new documentary on Netflix today (8 November) all about his life.

In the four-part series, Robbie opens up about a whole load of little-known events of his life and even revealed he wrote a song about Spice Girl Geri Halliwell while talking about their relationship. Check out the trailer to Robbie Williams here:

Directed by EMMY and BAFTA nominated, Joe Pearlman and executive produced by Academy Award, BAFTA and Grammy winning director Asif Kapadia, the doc features up to 30 years of never-before-seen archive footage behind the star.

From his introduction to the spotlight at just 16 years old when he first joined Take That and his rivalry with bandmate Gary Barlow to his famous on-stage panic attack back in 2006 and his struggles with addiction and mental health - the series covers a whole load of bombshells from Robbie's decade-spanning career.

In the tell-all film, the 49-year-old 'Angels' singer also opens up about his relationship with Ginger Spice, 51.

The power couple ended up calling it quits in the summer of 2000 after having both respectively left their mega successful boyband and girlband.

Robbie departed from Take That in the mid 90s while Geri called it quits on the Spice Girls in 1998.

Looking back at the relationship, Robbie revealed he split up with Geri over something he was told by the paparazzi.

The pair, unsurprisingly, received a lot of press attention with many paparazzi seemingly following their every move - often arriving at their destination before the couple even did.

This led Robbie to ask one of the photographers how they knew where he and Geri were to which they told him that Geri was the one to tip them off.

However, this wasn't the case.

"I bumped into a guy who’s a paparazzi. He told me that it was Geri doing that," Robbie said.

"Now I don’t think that’s true for one second but, at the time, I did believe it. It just goes to show what being in the spotlight can do to your psyche when you can’t trust anybody."

He added: "It ruined in some way the memory of such an important part of my life. Such a joyous occasion.”

And that wasn't the only big reveal about Geri. Robbie also admitted he wrote the 2001 No.1 hit 'Eternity' all about her.

He wrote the track after the pair holidayed together in France in the summer of 2000 along with Robbie's writing partner, Guy Chambers, and his partner.

Talking about the whirlwind romance, Robbie added: "It was a very confusing relationship because she’s a girl and I’m a boy.

"We are very good friends, trying to sort out the wreckage of the past."
