X Factor star Johnny Robinson has revealed that Robbie Williams invited him on a UFO-spotting trip in America.
The 45-year-old, who was eliminated from the ITV contest three weeks ago, met Williams backstage at the results show on Sunday (November 27) and the pair quickly bonded over their love of the extraterrestrial.
"Robbie was a gentleman, really lovely," Robinson told The Sun. "We had a long chat about UFOs as we are both interested in them.
"We've both seen UFOs and I have done a lot of research so Robbie was interested in talking about them... I think I like Robbie more than Gary Barlow now. We have more in common."
A show source added: "People often take the mickey out of him for his belief in aliens but Johnny was right there with him. They had an animated chat which went on for ages.
"Rob was telling him about UFO trips he goes on in the States, where they travel to 'hotspots' to hunt extraterrestrials. He suggested Johnny try one as he really rates them."
Former X Factor contestant Craig Colton told Digital Spy last week that he has kept in contact with Williams since they met at Judges' Houses.
