Jason Orange irritated by Robbie success

Jason Orange has admitted that the success of Robbie Williams annoyed him.

Speaking to The Guardian, the Take That singer insisted that holidaying in Thailand and studying biology at Trafford University were his ideal choices at the time, which became the focus of negative headlines at the time of Williams's solo career peak.

He said: "What did my head in, what really vexed me in the ten years I had off, if I was on a beach somewhere in Thailand, or at college - things I loved doing and chose to do.

"It was always going to be considered by other people as, 'Oh, he's taken a step down', 'Oh he's a failure', while Robbie's up there, 'Look at what he's doing now'."
