Williams dumps "cheap fling" Tara PT

Robbie Williams has ended his relationship with Tara Palmer-Tomkinson – calling it a "cheap fling".

The singer said he wants to be single so he can try and find a more serious long term partner.

"I am 100 per cent single," he told the Daily Star. "I had a good time but I want to find my future wife now, not just a cheap fling.

"I always expect something to happen, such as meeting the future Mrs Williams. To not believe in love has been a far easier ride than a soul-sapping search."

He also attacked stars' Hollywood-style dating rules. "The package looks great but when you get them home, they’re wired up wrong," he explained. "There are dating rules people use in Hollywood: ‘Don’t call until next day, and then don’t get back to him for two days’.

"It’s all rubbish. If I spot them I respond in kind by never speaking to them again."
